    I remember being like 14yo and learning that “SEO specialist” is a fucking job title. Even then I was like, that sounds like a fake job, what’s the fucking value of that?

      Yeah I remember being struck by that too, but then I worked in “business” and there’s a ton of weird stuff people do for a living (productively, for some late-stage capitalism value of productive). It just happened to intrude into the there-to cozy world of the web.
