    I remember saying back in the early and mid-2000s that the world would be completely fucked if Big Corp ever figured out the Internet (remember all those cringe commercials and campaigns back then where they tried to meme/go viral/etc?). Turns out, it was true.

      That’s with every media. Printing started to share scientific knowledge and ended with advertising flyers. Phones started with contacting relatives and ended with telemarketing. TV ended in reality TV between the ads.
