I have no idea where you got this paint bullshit but it sounds like you were sniffing some. I'm talking about having to rebuild your digital house multiple times in your life because each time someone burnt it down for money. It's not Amish OR tool-worship to not want to rebuild a newsletter because Blogger, sorry Wordpress, oopsie Substack, shit the bed, just like it's not vehicle worship to not want to have to "upgrade" your car after three years because Tesla decided to remotely nuke cars older than a certain model year just for a fresh infusion of cash. Don't bother with another LSD-addled metaphor that has zero connection to the topic, which is enshittification, it's revolting to have even had this "conversation".
