"hard to sell to corporate overlords" is something many communities consider a feature.

Remember when we were allowed to have fun on the Internet?

To me, the fact that corpos and their unbearable, sanctimonious servants are put off by this is the best possible feature, bar none.

There's definitely a certain element of nostalgia when consuming "old" (say, pre-millenium) art, e.g. tv shows, posters, poems, ... yet once you become aware of dark patterns it's hard to unsee them in said art.

This is a feature. This is an open source project, nobody cares about the sales pitch to some old executives.
