Yeah, "sunsetting" is such trash corporate speak.

    Corpo scum are allergic to saying exactly what they mean, so they insist on hiding their intent behind flowery words that sound "good" to them. I guess they think that if they use weasel words, it'll soften the blow when they decide to strip out features and further destroy their platforms.

    It’s not an allergy, it’s hiding punches. It’s concealing the fact that they’re fucking you in the ass by telling you it’s just a penis-based prostate exam, and that you’re the one being weird. It’s gaslighting.

    It’s one of the things I hate most in our capitalist dystopia.

    Also he is using it wrong because "sunsetting" means a slow winding down. You know, because the sun doesn't instantly turn off.

    But they basically literally just suddenly turned off gold today, without any pre warning.

    They have basically sent a message to everyone telling them they've already done it.
