I don’t know if you will see this, but I had to come back and say thank you. This is amazing. It has transformed my phone browsing experience.

No problem, I should probably get to setting it up myself too, lol

Everyone was laid off last year and the site is being mined for views.

In those 15 years, did you send them any money? I suspect the point is “we don’t make enough money to keep writing cool articles that keep people coming back for 15 years.”

I would think it’s pretty obvious that’s not the question I am asking. What is the point of making a page I can’t even look at to see that ads.
