I think you're the one who got nerd-sniped here. 1.5 of the 13 pages in this PDF are about surveillance capitalism. The rest's about web standards.

It's when you trick a technically-minded person into jumping down a rabbit hole of a technical problem/controversy. Here it's PDF vs. HTML, but other classic nerd snipes are UTF-8 vs. anything else, "fixing" election tech, etc.
