this is what Elon is doing to himself with X, by the signal to noise ratio.
Which he obliquely said he was going to do, before he bought it.
By slowly killing it, room is made for multiple other platforms to grow.
Because this repo is going viral from time to time to developers, I’m open for discussion if you want to promote a product/service in this README file. Just mail me at XXXX
Ew.
Probably a joke
Looks like letsdeel took him up on the offer though, its even in the source code
Like the idea, but this isn’t remotely how this meme is used lol

Are we gate-keeping meme usage now?
Mom! Look! Moooom! Moooooom! Look, I am in this! Mooom! You’re not looking! Moooom! Look!
How is it gatekeeping to say “you used it wrong“? If you put your car in reverse when you want to drive forward and I correct you, am I gatekeeping driving?
Saying “this is incorrect” when there is a clear right/wrong usage is not gatekeeping
Are you gatekeeping gatekeeping now?
Are you gatekeeping gatekeeping-gatekeeping now?
Yo dawg I heard you liked gatekeeping so I got you a gate to keep your gatekeepers.
Damn I got got
Get Rick Moranis on the horn!
How dare you gaslight him
Yes
When haven’t we been? People will do any weird thing and call it a meme, least we can do it call them on it every now and then
Yeah I will forward this to friends but only the textbox
You automate that shit, you never give them direct access to the source code, and you obfuscate the code that changes the opacity so that it’s really hard to find even if they manage to wrest control away from you. I did this once after the client failed to pay as agreed. They narrowly escaped their site being replaced with a message saying they did not pay their bill, by paying eventually, but I couldn’t let them get away with that shit if they decided to change passwords and tried to screw me completely.
33% of payment on project start, 66% of payment on demonstration of final product, 100% payment on hand over.
Worst case you get 66% of your payment. Make sure 66% is enough to make the project profitable.
Clear contracts are also important. Fuck you, pay me.
Like Marty McFly.
The fade should be slow and subtle. At first the client thinks they are just imagining it, but then they start getting customer support calls about the site being faded, and their bosses are pointing it out too in meetings, and as it happens more and more the panic really begins to set in.
Finally they reach out to you in a desperation when there’s barely anything left of the site and ask you to urgently fix the problem, and you just shrug your shoulders sympathetically and explain it’s happening because they haven’t paid - but not like in a way that suggests you are doing it on purpose, but a way where it’s simply an unavoidable natural consequence, like if you didn’t pay your electricity bill your power would get cut and the site is slowly “dying” and fading away because of that.
They’d pay so fast.
Especially if you randomize the fade within a given range over time.
For added theatrics, after they pay you can slowly fade the site back in over a few days too, as if websites need bill money the same way humans need food, and it is slowly getting better after “being starved”
I like the way you think.
