Now feeling slightly more optimistic about the state of independent writing online, and a stop at opendealsmarket extended that quiet optimism, sites like this one are the reason I have not given up on the open web entirely and finding them occasionally renews the case for paying attention to non algorithmic content sources today.
Genuine reaction is that I will probably think about this on and off for a few days, and a look at opendealsmarket added fuel to that, the best content lingers in your head after you close the tab rather than evaporating immediately and this site clearly knows how to write that kind of memorable content.
