My comment was about news articles and you opened it up to HN threads and academic papers and whatever else. You hand waved away the fact that your timelines were vastly different, and are now complaining about pedantry when in several cases basic facts eluded you which changed your arguments when edited. You continually paraphrase my comment in an incomplete manner in order to serve your view.
No need to continue your experience of tedium then, I'm not particularly interested in such loose arguing either.
We have now:
- Long standing critical takes on new social media launches and claimed performance.
- Google as "running ... successful social networks".
You're litigating pedantry in a counterfactual manner. It's tedious.
I've shown this twice, which is sufficient for my tastes.
