Do you know what &quot;moving the goalposts&quot; is?<p>I assume you do seeing how you like to casually quote Shakespeare in your HN comments.<p>You said (quite cynically):<p>&gt; The only purpose of ads is to forcefully track, distract, and exploit people&#x27;s privacy for financial gain.<p>Then when someone pointed out that in general that&#x27;s not the point of ads, but rather to support businesses that wish to keep their fees nominal or nonexistent, as has been done for a very long time, you said:<p>&gt; What businesses were ad supported centries ago?<p>To which I replied with proof from a newspaper some 300 years ago.<p>And then you, as a last-ditch effort (I like this one the best):<p>&gt; you&#x27;re trying to be technically correct instead of actually correct.<p>Hilarious!
