What's up with all the "clippy" stuff? (sh.itjust.works)

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

Well, that's a good thing. If done right, like not using their service anymore, aka boycotting.

I didn't say it was bad or who it's bad for. I'm just too old to pretend it will be effective

That's the joke: they are still using it. Every comment section I look through via newPipe is full of these Clippy Pfps. And they are written After the Clippy PFP thing. And, like, NOT writing comments would be the least effort, in which you could „boycott” them.

Truely astonishing levels of stupidity.
