OP could mean whenever they want. Most people understood what OP meant. I was just making a point that data is often an overlooked currency.
Also aren't you also being pedant by explaining OP didn't use the correct vernacular?
Do I have to explain excessive concern with trivial details?
But nice try though ๐
Says the user who started this whole thing because they needed to feel heard.
Language is fluid, interchangeable, context driven, and not everyone feels as passionately as you about misused words (because language is fluid and interchangeable). So if you want to start an argument over trivial issues then expect people to be "insufferable".
Would you mind going back to reddit?
Yes, they meant "Twitter is putting up barriers to browsing content." Even if paywall wasn't the right word, their intent was clear. Not sure why we feel the need to dive into whether they used the right word when the issue is Twitter (and Meta) attempting to seal off their users' content behind a login. Most everyone seems to have understood them.
Dude, no matter how much you simp for Elon, he's not gonna fuck you.
Get over yourself. You pedantic cockwaffle.
Did you misunderstand what they meant in the context of the post? No? Then there was no reason to have a multi-day meltdown because OP misunderstood what a word meant.
This is the pedantry website, arguably more so than Reddit is at this point
