Technical issue on the website. Emailed after midnight. Morning got the answer and the fix. Source: https://bubbles.town/

Try this with some corporation. If you are lucky and waste like an hour on their website cluster, you may find some contact form. The answer will be the same. They value your feedback. They can't respond to you. Terms, privacy, and your rights. Reading for a weekend. A year has passed, and your issue persists.

Recently, I somehow clicked on some website. The author writes like crazy about accessibility and other noble things. Lady was even part of some accessibility working group. They defined accessibility as a social problem. She does some talks and shit.

Her website uses a 12.5-pixel font. Probably passed some checklist and will talk next Friday about accessibility. I emailed her. Zero feedback. Probably busy talking about accessibility. Understand. Source: https://www.aleesteele.com/

On another website, I post a comment. Deleted. Most authors don't want comments. They want clapping. This confirms my thought about comments. They are shit. It looks like a dialogue. It's actually a fan wall. Source: https://forkingmad.blog

The third ignorant person was some Matt behind some informational website about RSS feeds. The web assumes that a web feed is an RSS feed. Not on my watch. I emailed the author and pointed at the nonsense. I did not get an answer. The man behind the scenes says he worked with some of the world's largest firms. He is also pretty busy with AI. I got it.

I got a few emails. Positive. One peasant named Gonzalo probably got annoyed by my answer when he asked that I serve him a web feed in XML. Well, it sounds almost like a joke. I know some archaic feed readers still don't support JSON Feed. I don't blame them. Web feeds are all bad. Gonzalo took it probably personally. It's weird when people identify with some technology or company.

Email is easy. One click, everyone knows how. Yet you get more reactions on social media than emails. No publicum, no performance, no point. Maybe it feels too intimate or too real for many.
