An aside, but I really hate how the tech and media industries have so many unintuitive acronyms.

I am highly tech-savvy, as I would assume are most people on Hacker News. I have no idea what FAST and AST are in your comment. By context of you saying “ad free” I can guess that “AS” may mean “ad-supported”, but I have no idea what the F and T are and why they’re different.

Yes, I know I can “just Google it!” But by virtue of Google being useless these days, Googling “fast acronym” is all pages about strokes.

This is how tech shoots itself in the foot (yes, this is a general rant.) Use a bunch of acronyms no one understands, and then build a search engine that makes the meanings impossible to find.

Hopefully this will be better in the future. But I am not sure it will if people continue to use acronyms so frequently.
