The “monetisation strategy” is where it went wrong.
All the good stuff happened because people were excited and enthusiastic about it, not because they saw a way to profit out of it. We just need to recognise that fun stuff can still happen for free.

We had cats before dogs, so it has only ever been called kitten roll.

I guess you don’t have a dog then?

Im not sure what your point is.
If you nick a car is “but it’s a bit of a crap car TBH” a valid defence in court?

I think criminal law cares more about the intent than the technical prowess required to do the deed.

Someone with more money than me needs to recreate this, but they all have to be dressed as drag queens. Then all the normal people go dark for two days and watch the "left behind" people lose their shit.

I have a small amount of experience in operating a data centre.

A “water-cooled” data centre has continuously circulated water, a bit like a central heating system.

It doesn’t consume more water if you’re storing more data, and deleting photos will not make any difference.

Sorry, but no.
The first unix text editor I used was microemacs, and I seem to remember that the status bar actually said “type C-x C-c to exit”.
When I decided that I needed learn vi, I started off with the built in tutorial (I think it was too long ago to have been vimtutor, but it was similar).
