17:07:55 — Oh hey. My latest follow notification on twitter tells me that they used an autofollow client. Useful to let me know to ignore. Is this new?

Re your comment about monetizing and people: there's a long tradition behind linguified claims (basically, claims that on the surface, are about words, sentences, and or languuage, instead of about thoughts, concepts, or world views, such as "Eskimos have $number words for 'snow'" - which is usually false as stated, whatever the number claimed is, and hard to decide anyway, because what's a word is only loosely defined - instead of "The specific nature and properties of different kinds of snow are likely much more relevant to Eskimos than to say, Filipinos, and Eskimos may therefore be able to spot and identify many more different kinds of snow, and handle them differently, eg, this one is safe to walk on, that one isn't", which is about objects, not symbols)
