I'm starting to understand that most earnest users of glitch have no idea the extent to which it enabled and was abused to do shitty things -despite the commendable efforts of everyone there.

Since sibling commenters asked—the abuse mainly involved a heckuva lot of phishing, last I heard; for example:

Apparently the free ephemeral apps were (1) free, (2) easy to make and easy to make many of, and (3) hosted on infrastructure that targets tended to trust.

I'll do you one better: WTH is/was Glitch? I think I'm so far out of the loop I've reached lagrange point 2.

Low code tool plus hosting platform, and also the final form of Fog Creek which you may have heard about from Joel on Software blog posts if you read tech blogs 15 years ago
