I keep running into services that have decided to phrase their web forms in the style of a flaky, half-assed chatbot wrapped in a risible native app that is mobile-only and doesn't work without notifications.

This is purgatory.

I can't remember who exactly pointed it out, it might've been @taylorlorenz, but there was a part in Post News' mission statement that was very concerned about people being mean to billionaires.

Post News ended up the type of platform you'd expect given that ethos.

It became a centrist hellscape, home to all the self-important Trump-era neo-liberal personalities born from pre-Elon Twitter.

Shout out to the hardworking devs, but I will not miss #PostNews.
