    Monetizing notepad pissed me off so much.

    That’s like making people pay for save functionality in a video game.

            Yeah, can’t say I’m a fan of the ugly cartoons style.

            Yeah, there seem to have been 3-4 distinct styles so far. They’re just doing their thing. I still read even though I have no clue what they are on about more than half the time.
