> Neat talk but like... doesn't it all seem convoluted? What is the function of a Rube Goldberg web service? To allow it be made of anything?

I don't want to be the guy who explains the joke, but sometimes Xe creates elaborate shitposts that aren't entirely shitposts but contain a very fun element to them rather than being for fully practical sake. Shitposting being an anagram for top insights after all.

That's the lens I used when interpretating this talk.
