Not 40, but also don't want my thoughts and comments to be an income stream for a for-profit organization, whether that be by selling and/or training an LLM using my data for profit or contributing to an inescapable network effect that can be increasingly monetized by various means.

The modern social media platform is not designed to foster positive interactions, but rather to maximize shareholder value.

This is so much more important than whatever elitism OOP implies.

I'm also not 40 btw.
