And that doesn't scratch the surface of how social media companies convinced us all to invest in growing our followers only to then make us pay to reach them (they did this to bands, too). I'm just glad we never pivoted to video (though our Paste Sessions have been a blast).

The Brand Safety "negative keywords" included understandable terms like "bestiality" and "bung hole" but also "black lives matter," multiple spellings of "breonna taylor," "the last of us" and, for reasons I can't fathom, the word "song."
