On youtube I see tons of avatars and mentions of clippy, the oldscool windows help tool. Are they protesting something?

The irony is part of it, from what I can tell.

That Clippy, the universally hated useless feature, is still less shitty than what these companies are doing today.

Things have gotten so bad, that even Clippy begins to look acceptable. What a bizarre world this is.
