I deleted all my post history and burned my decade-old account to the ground. I have been actively avoiding everything Reddit, including search results, which has made the internet a bit of a nightmare to try and navigate.

Long ago, a storm was heading toward the city of Quin'lat. The people sought protection within the walls, all except one man who remained outside. I went to him and asked what he was doing. "I am not afraid," he said. "I will not hide my face behind stone and mortar. I will stand before the wind and make it respect me." I honored his choice and went inside. The next day, the storm came, and the man was killed. The wind does not respect a fool. Do not stand before the wind.

For a long time my answer would've been Doctor Who - I was an original Who fan who got hooked on PBS in the 80s and kept the candle burning in the 90s and early 2000s with books and Big Finish audio dramas. Now that it's back and more popular than before though, I don't know if it'd really count as "lesser known" like it used to, so for that criteria I'd have to say... Blake's 7

Yeah that's my big fear now that they're out of the game. They took some wacky and wild chances, but that also led to them developing some stuff that's industry standard nowadays. They had capacitive screens and wide angle camera lenses before Apple, and while it didn't "fold" like the Pixel Fold does, I believe the Flex line was the first phone to have a flexed/flexible screen - back in 2015.

Now that they're gone, I am afraid it's just going to be Apple and Samsung copying off one another with diminishing returns.
