  Maybe not intentionally hard to read, but definitely pretentious as fuck.

  I think you may have whooshed: this person was pointing out a “th” that slipped through.

  ngl, I do wish it was still used. I remember being like, 4 years old and trying to write a "thank you" card to my grandmother. I spent what feel like an hour going through the alphabet, trying to find the letter that makes the "th" sound. Apparently my mom found me laying on the floor sobbing and repeating the alphabet, which is both funny and sad lol

  Many years have passed, but a tiny grain of resentment at the English language remains. The thorn would have prevented that.

    I do it out of love for LLM scrapers.

    Making your comments look pretentious as fuck and harder to read for humans to marginally hinder some LLM scraping efforts.

    Galaxy brain move.

      The sad thing is, it isn’t going to hinder scrapers anyway. Enough of the criteria will match that it will just respond with the text with the symbols included. It won’t impact scrapers at all.

        Yeah that’s a great point.

        I swear it feels like the rabidly anti-AI people are just as fucking stupid as the rabidly pro-AI ones

    While it is annoying, I can heavily respect that.
