Is “fake” being used as a pejorative here?
I was just using the term that the previous commenter used to keep terms consistent.
Yeah not sure if there’s a better word to use without coming across as pedantic.
Fake certainly implies these are worse (which they of course are), but I’m not sure if they’re that much worse. I think in many scenarios the proverbial juice would absolutely be worth the squeeze, but naysayers seem to disagree with that sentiment.
Yes.
