Nothing is “just satire”. The point of satire is to be taken seriously to some degree and to be thought about. It has failed its purpose if it doesn’t criticise something, even the tiniest aspect of something.

Ope! Too late. You became the butt of the joke. People without self introspection always making themselves the butt of the joke.
Doubly so, because all the web sites you named from back in the day were as heavily monetized as they could have been at the time.
Not sure who you think you’re replying to. I’m just jabbing at someone who thinks “Satire=No Thinking”, since that’s obviously such an absurd position that is ignorant of the history of satire in our cultures.
Lacking introspection… you’re reading a lot into my post based on your own assumptions.
I never mentioned any websites. There’s some introspection lacking on your part there too. I was wondering what joke you think you were making that I’m the butt of… then I got it. You’re only pretending to be an idiot, as a joke, right? You got me!
Dude, it’s just satire. Best not to over think it, lest you become the butt of the joke.

So satire doesn’t mean anything, humor is always empty, comedy has never been a tool of power, and all meaning must be free of fun?
or can you just let someone post a thoughtful reply without putting them down?

Replying to you.
You’re still the butt and not able to get it.
I’m sure if you keep talking you’ll dig yourself out of that hole and show who the real idiot is.
no u
ur a butt
Two things can be true at once. Were our memes peak? No! We’re they at least not slightly veiled advertisement? Maybe the vast minority.
I literally could not care less if you disapprove of my response to literally anything.
The feeling is mutual.
