    WTF, I just noticed Boing Boing — probably the earliest popular tech blog — has outsourced all its comments to Substack! Note the "comment on Substack" link at the bottom of each post. Talk about #enshittification. https://boingboing.net/2024/10/28/happy-mutants-rejoice-boing-boing-launches-clean-ad-free-experience.html
