He didn’t want to buy the company. So, he’s turning it into a pet project.

That’s a good point, and one that had not occurred to me. For all we know, he’s already mentally written off the $44 billion as a loss and is just having fun with it, with no expectation of success.

That would explain a lot.

You wouldn’t download a meme.

I could have sworn I read about it shutting down years ago. Did someone bring it back up, or am I just mistaken?

Came for the decentralization, stayed for the nonconsensual lemon party redirects.

I got a similar effect by constructing a purpose-made monitor shelf. It’s not as good for having a wide area open for large items, but it allows multiple levels for stacking, which works out great. It has one low shelf inside, just high enough to fit a keyboard and hands underneath, and then the top surface to put the actual monitors on. Keeping the bottom floor clear makes it easy to slide the keyboard in to make some temporary room in front of the structure, and the inside shelf provides a large general-purpose cavity for papers, mail, snacks, or what-have-you. There’s also some room on the top to pile things up next to the monitors.

The original goal was just to get the monitors up to eye level, but I ended up enjoying the extra space at least as much.

Good question. Maybe they did it deliberately to make it feel more alien and strange? Or maybe there’s another rule about the relative number of syllables (e.g., Tom and Jerry, Jak and Daxter, etc.)
