Is anyone up for convincing me that the HTTP accept header is a good idea?

I understand the theory: every resource should have the same URI, and should be able to deliver to clients in the format that they indicate they can best handle - eg an image served as WEBP to supporting clients but falling back to JPEG

But we have 20+ years of real-world experience with it now, and I'm not at all convinced that those theoretical benefits outweigh the drawbacks: mainly its lack of discoverability

And to this day I am glad you found that coffee and worked on Webmention - I'm enjoying it in so many ways. If only I'd have known you were doing this in 2016 - I'd have loved to have contributed - thanks for all the hard work!

@aaronpk Ugh. I spent 45 wks/yr in hotels for 21 years until it came to a screeching halt in 2/20. I cannot for the life of me figure out how I lived like that.

@aaronpk Are you already aware of the promo they have going for picking back up last year’s status if you missed out? In case useful it’s something like fly 10k through April to get Gold back (I only know because I’m in this bucket!)
