> People that are arguing to treat popularity as the primary metric by which to gauge quality and importance of content are doing two things
I am done with your disingenuity, but for the readers I'll clarify to make it unmistakable: while you can keep on being you all you want, it will not change that to have people listen to you, you must approach them with something they want to consume. You must understand people, and to actually deign to do that instead of to try to lord over them with imagined superiority is not pandering but communicating.
John Oliver understands this. Stallman doesn't. That's why Oliver did in a week what the second guy couldn't do in thirty years. So you can keep arguing and keep sneering. I'm pointing at the elephant and saying it's an elephant. It won't stop being an elephant because you don't like elephants.

Yes, Stallman really hasn't done anything. GNU, GCC, GPL and Free-software are really worthless contributions compared to comedy routines, we should all quit working on things that we care about just because you and Joe say we aren't ever going to be popular or important.
