Caption at the top reads "A BRIEF HISTORY OF ART ON THE INTERNET:". In a single panel, a small person in an orange shirt gestures excitedly toward a much larger smiling bald figure, saying "WHAT IF WE REPLACED ALL INTERMEDIARIES? ALL EDITORS, ALL GATEKEEPERS-". The big figure starts to respond enthusiastically, "THAT WOULD BE AMAZ-", but the small person cuts in: "-WITH PROPRIETARY ALGORITHMS DESIGNED TO SELL ADS!" The joke is the disappointing turn from a utopian promise to ad-driven algorithms. Votey (aftercomic): a crudely drawn round-headed character with a speech bubble flatly saying "PLEASE DISLIKE AND UNSUBSCRIBE.", a deadpan inversion of the usual creator sign-off.
