I was not being sarcastic! I am extremely yay about forums!
Forums have memory in a way that even nice and pretty timeline-based social media like Mastodon and the wider Fediverse doesn't.

I missed this Feb 2020 Washington Post article about the Crypto AG saga.
Presumably Microsoft, Amazon and Google and their Cloud services have now more than replaced what Crypto meant for United States global signals-intelligence supremacy.
This power will certainly never be abused by those who hold it, because abuse of power by intelligence agencies or private corporations is never a thing that has ever happened before in the entire history of the world.

Brendan Eich's 'Brave' seems to have just walked into a world of hurt due to its habit of soliciting donations in the name of people who have NOT given permission for it to do so (using their photograph without consent, even)
A possible slogan for the OOP wars:
"Data reuse is more important than code reuse"
ie a big problem with OOP is that once data is packaged together with behaviour into a class, it's very hard to reuse that data in ways unexpected by the original class developer
worse, "not being able to get the actual data" (encapsulation) is a deliberate OOP design goal, so it is unlikely that you will be able to get your data out of an OOP system intact. Unless you store it in parallel in a non-OOP system.
A suggestion:
Replace the word 'content' with 'filler' in all Internet media contexts, since it means pretty much the same thing to an advertiser
