Meta comment to your meta comment : this is a very personal opinion but I cannot stop myself from thinking less about your message (even though I agree with it), just because of that edgy wannabe way to go about naming Microsoft. You want to say Microsoft say that, you want to say Github say that but if you say a vaguely insulting name only to have to specify what you actually mean... It doesn't bring anything to the conversation, except lower the level, and if a company has flaws as big as Microsoft you don't need to resort to childish name calling to expose them. This is my personal opinion.

I think it stopped being edgy and transitioned to a symbol of user frustration the moment their CEO tried to address the slop without acknowledging their customer pain.
It is not much different from the micro$oft used here often.

won’t somebody please think of the billion dollar company?
This has nothing to do with the billion dollar company, and I have no lost love for Microsoft.
It's about quality of discourse among us, and Microsoft has nothing to do with that.
what do you think about Micro$haft WinBlowz
It means GH is now full of slop and pointing out it's owned by Microsoft, for those who may not have known or LMS who did not until recently
