It's making a statement when nearly all websites are objectively not for humans.

It used to be that we had websites for purposes other than sales and advertising. Forums and passion projects where commercially exploiting users wasn't the goal. A place where slightly controversial opinions and ideas, or dangerous activities weren't suppressed because they aren't advertiser friendly.
