    Watch this thing get bloated up. As someone who was using the internet in early 00s, you know why google got big? IMO because the home page was minimal, simple, and fast to load. I don't remember the actual search results being much better. But AOL, Lycos, Altavista... they all loaded up their sites with bullshit that just assaulted your eyeballs.

    People like stuff that's simple and just works. They don't like barriers to access. NYT will ruin this like how capitalists ruin everything: monetization makes things worse a lot of the time and ignores the fundamental reasons why people like things.

      Wordle was designed to be ruined. It was a gimmicky game that got a ton of press for no discernible reason. The endless hype was predicated on the app being sold for some comically obscene figure. Now that its got people on the bandwagon for at least the next few months, time to monetize the fuck out of it before people realize they're just playing a very shitty crossword puzzle.
