It's a fucking fishing lure. It's been a fucking fishing lure since before Blake Lemione

Since before David Levy

Since the debut of the fucking Flinstones, dipshits have been biting at the lure.

    Human: Well, my boyfriend made me come here.

        ELIZA: Your boyfriend made you come here?

    Human: He says I'm depressed much of the time.

    ELIZA: I am sorry to hear you are depressed.

    Human: It's true. I'm unhappy.

    ELIZA: Do you think coming here will help you not to be unhappy?

In 1966, of course, there weren't a lot of fish in the pond so there weren't a lot of fish biting. Up until very recently, the only people exposed to fishing lures tended to be the one who tie flies for a living. But no, now here's Sam Altman and Mark Zuckerberg to spend literal Trillions of dollars so that more people can bite at the lure so they can make $0.007 CPM.
