OT: The outline page claims, "We remove the clutter", and yet it has a giant footer ad that clutters the page. Why can't we have nice things ?

I've turned off my adblocker and I don't see what you're referring to.

It's the medium style bar at the bottom that follows you around. If you are on chrome/chromium, it says "get outline for google chrome"

Because someone is always trying to monetize nice things which ruins it in the process. Sad, monetized world we live in.

My comment was a response to a comment which was also a response to another comment. How did mine become standalone?

Likely a mod detached the extensive off-topic subthread.
