haha true, though I don't think that's what GP meant

> you're much better off browsing r/fanfiction. The punchline is buried a little bit too deep, but pretty sure they're just playing along.

I thought "when they made the decision to include human adult content in addition to fan-related content" in the first sentence was already pretty obvious

> To protect our intellectual property, certain features – such as fan impeller geometries – have been slightly modified while remaining visually very close to the actual product. Noob question: If someone wants to copy their design with no respect to their intellectual property, can't they just 3D scan?

Thermaltake already makes a clone:

Noctua seems fine so long as you’re not copying the color scheme and branding. Interestingly TT had a 140mm version before Noctua. Noctua seems happy being the premium option.

There is Fan Show Down on yt where people are trying to beat the original Noctua fan design: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHLn2U7i45M_EXIsnqUyI...

I'm disappointed that this is on YT, shouldn't it be on OnlyFans?

There's an interim one at https://www.reddit.com/r/OnlyFans/

Alas, I'm afraid that was you.

Noctua makes fans. OnlyFans… Get it?

The joke is that OnlyFans was for fans but was taken over by humans. Now it's not funny because I've had to explain it.

OnlyFans lost its purported audience years ago, when they made the decision to include human adult content in addition to fan-related content only. The adult content quickly took over and now you can barely find anything relating to fans on there. Reddit is a much better place for that now, and if you aren't particularly precious about documentary-style fact reporting, you're much better off browsing r/fanfiction.

I think the joke blew right past you.

I'm sorry :/ I even included the r/fanfiction at the end, but that was also apparently too obscure.

I’m sorry too. my stupid jokes in response to yours earlier were just me taking advantage of bad fan puns but others seem to have jumped on the downvote bandwagon.

I think there were plenty of signs for the reader. My pet theory is that overly verbose llms have trained people to skim text instead of reading it. I've certainly noticed more cases than usual of people not reading HN comments thoroughly enough in the last six months
