Like if they catch you doing this, you can be like, Look, I'm just doing this for an NPR show.
Is that true?
Did you think about that?
It's funny, there was this guy uh named Dave who works for M PR and he's in his thirties and he saw all the comments that you guys were doing.
And they made no sense to him at all.
He really had no idea what they were, and he thought you guys were all bots.
I gotta say I thought that was a very generous answer.
Dave thought they were bots and she was like, Yeah, well, some of us kinda talked like bots.
Ella told me that she's sure someday she'll be clueless, like Dave is now.
Which of course isn't much comfort of your day.
Dave says that once he understood that it was kids, writing all those comments, it didn't feel great.

Intergenerational space travel this hour.
From WB Easy Chicago, it's this American Life.
I'm Ira Glass.
Climb aboard this rocket with us, if you dare.
Then stay with us.
