Still not sure what that has to do with tootsie roll pops, other than the number 3? Explaining why someone said something doesn’t automatically make it not weird

No, I know, we all know the ad, we are just trying to figure out what that has to do with USB’s other than a use of the number “3.” It’s a really weird part of the article that elicits a “wtf” whether you get the reference or not. Getting the reference doesn’t make it not weird.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Oh yeah, no, I agree. I just wasn't entirely sure, if they thought it was even weirder than it still is, because they did not know the joke about the USB sticks. Just trying to help via dumb memes. 🙃
