You can't fix everything with a website.

While true, it’s great to find someone else has done all the legwork on how to cancel a shit ISP and switch to a better and cheaper one.

Or pre-wrote everything one needs to complain to the regulator about a bull-shit charge and get their $ back.

It certainly takes a certain mindset to take advantage of the above, but making it easier encourages it.

The above are two things I’ll be publishing tonight. There’s a few hundred thousand people in my mom’s town that suddenly have a decent internet option.

You definitely can't fix anything by not trying... (to make a website?)
