She writes in lowercase only - my sympathy is somewhat diminished.
Come on, could be worse. Could be all caps lol.
Amazing that back then "boardho" was a niche category of computer user rather than, you know, 90-odd percent of the population.
Also funny to see web-savvy people from 2004 calling her a commie nut in the comments because she dared suggest that corporations were datamining forum posts.
The normalisation of boardho-ing. Apparently she's mentioned in Adam Curtis' All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace. Which I can't remember at all. So will have to rewatch.
But yes, writing from the frontier of the clout economy
