I feel that! I've been running independent websites for literally as long as I've been on the internet and this is the first time people have ever treated me like anything other than an asocial loser who can't use Twitter. (I have to make a concentrated effort to not get bitter about it because this is what I've wanted for forever. But there are some moments where it does kinda feel like a bunch of humans flipped over our rock and are going "wow, nobody lives under here, I'm gonna become the first ever insect that lives under this rock")
