Does this not get exhausting for you?
I'm having a hard time understanding why someone would repeatedly frequent and take time to post on a community they feel violates every righteous fiber of their being.
"THIS RESTAURANT IS TERRIBLE! THE CHEF IS TERRIBLE! I WILL KEEP COMING HERE DAILY TO SHOUT THIS!"
Mike and his crew are awesome, but I strongly disagree with their (and your) stance on this.
Reddit, Facebook, Discord, and tons of misc forums (even about stuff like politics!) have edit functionality. Comments/posts that have been edited just have an "EDITED" mark, and I think in some of those cases you can click on it to see the original version / edit trail.
With that said, I admit this isn't a P0 or probably even a P1 for this site in the grand scheme of things. We can and should preview our comments before publishing 'em :)
I mean, come on, RBG was close buddies with Scalia who is... not a good person IMHO.
But as I've grown, I've learned that sometimes good people will be friends with bad people. Sometimes that means the people we thought were good are actually jerks, but often it just means that the world is complicated and not black and white.
Blaze and Washington Examiner are indeed utter crap rags.
With that said, it looks like most of what she's written for these and other outlets is about bringing some sanity to occupational licensing which... actually does seem reasonable to me.
And her editorial here, too, seems fairly sensible.
If/when SomeCorp forks over the $1k, they've now got THREE new or unresolved problems:
1) If they're not a MAGA company, they may get mercilessly mocked.
2) They've got no additional protection from scammers/trollers making accounts pretending to be SomeCorp ("SomeCorp Official(tM)", "SomeCorpUSA", etc.)
3) No users can assume that an unverified "SomeCorp" isn't legit, because maybe SomeCorp just didn't want to pay up. Or maybe SomeCorp USA pays, but "SomeCorp Midwest" (a regional affiliate) doesn't want to or "SomeCorp Support" decides not to.
I honestly don't know whether it's stupidity or a greedy attempt to capitalize on the greater public's fear of and/or ignorance about newer technologies, but it's so bang-my-head-worthy when I keep reading breathless articles suggesting that technology itself is key to a crime.
WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!
If your kids or students post a MySpace profile, they'll be abducted and brutally murdered with a spork!
Video games will reduce your mental and emotional innards to mush. And then brainwash you into killing bank tellers with a spork!
Pedophiles in chat rooms! Your child will be powerless to resist; they'll fly like moths to a flame, and some large bubba named Bub will molest your sweet young thing with a spork!
I signed up for a Gevalia tea delivery trial (with a unique e-mail address used ONLY for that purpose), decided that it wasn't worth the money, and quit. Weeks later, I started getting 2-3 spams a day from their "partners."
People love kicking the popular kid. Sometimes it seems our whole society is built on schaudenfreude.
But, seriously, what a counterproductive thing to even contemplate sabataging AdWords. Do we all want to return to the days of blinking shock-the-monkey ads? I, for one, like text ads.

Tell me you didn't read the article without telling me you didn't read the article
Wait, you're STILL yelling at clouds, I mean Mike here?

Meh, that's lame

But note the actual articles she's written

Yeah, it's a bit too on-the-nose
`(͡ ͡° ͜ つ ͡͡°)
But it's not good even for those companies supporting the extortion

I wonder if he had ever BLOGGED or maybe had a MYS

Gevalia even spams customers!
