we live in an era of egregious, invisible corporate magnates curtailing our right to pirate reality tv (because it's worthless anyways) and post funny cat images (because we like funny cat images).
just look at some of these recent violations:
- Google using its dominance in the search engine market to try and take over unrelated markets (facebook, twitter)
- Mark Zuckerberg ejaculating wildly as he contemplates turning the internet into his own personal giant ant farm
- Twitter being a bastion of free speech, but only once Saudi/News Corp stakeholders give it the OK
- Microsoft charging $10/mo fee to keep owning digital content you've already purchased (i believe they call it "xbox live")
- The MPAA/RIAA attempting to turn the internet into television (receive-only; beamed down from our corporate masters)
- MySpace being bought out by Justin Timberlake and doing something vague and poorly-defined
- Geocities existing only as an obsession of that guy that runs cow.net
enough already.
the yugo has been here since summer of 2003 -- before the internet was "social." yes, the yugo is, in fact, staunchly anti-social. we are the elite 54%. we guarantee to absolutely not give a fuck about you and your personal data. we will not track a damn thing, because it's too much of a hassle to write the code. we guarantee to be just a stupid fucking site on the internet, and not some entity bent on possessing as many internet souls as possible. because, in truth, not all internet souls are created equal. many are fucking crap, in fact, and we find the idea of trying to lure them here in order to announce "readership increased" next quarter to be abso-fucking-lutely insane. don't tell wall street.
