I use croissant to cross post on social media accounts but I never use the services themselves to read any content. I’m screaming into the void and I’m fine with it.

Sure, in the same way SaaS companies are just thin wrappers on top of databases and the open web.

Nearly 20 years ago I was out to dinner with my girlfriend and who is sitting at the table next to us other than Kurt Vonnegut. He took a liking to my companion and basically pulled our table over to his as we listened to him regale us with stories. The man lived.

I can't say if he was universally nice, but on that night he was nice, charming, and a pleasure to eat dinner with.

I know of a large printer company who approached a large media company with a deal that would have had the large media company change the color of the text on their printer friendly pages to something near black but requiring the color cartridge instead of true black. As I recall they were willing to pay seven figures annually. The media company did not take them up on their offer.

The underhandedness/cleverness of the printer companies is not to be underestimated.
