You know i got a case. Stating the obvious this way better fits my character since i am well better in reacting than in acting. Maybe you accept this, maybe you don't.

Concerning 4chan: One of the best places to get real nice proof if you stay in math jargon. In fact i never met a better place for these. So don't simulate a by mass-media force-fed reality in which 4chan is obsolete.

I couldn't believe it. Even if i should i won't. If you have a harness it is one of the best places.

In fact, I mean quite the opposite of that. I used to post on 4chan and had a good time there. But I was referring to what it has become over the years with the influx of less intelligent people. Since I haven't posted there in years, things may have changed. Perhaps new boards have been added where the quality is better, or some boards never had their quality reduced. But all the boards on which I used to post have been dumbed down. Surely we can agree that "/b/ level sophistication" is an applicable term. ("Prove me wrong" is, of course, a meme there.)

Even the words "meme" and "sophistication" are already taking the meta-level down.

By two to be exact.

Answer to your thesis:

Yes - re. the non-paying customer

No - re. the paying customer, who is also the product

Much of what you do on line, in public, and while carrying a phone, makes you the product - because companies want to buy data that references your movements and activities.

This is well-known. Perhaps you could AskSaidit something that's more specific.
