Also, I just now realized that Automattic (business model: Uber for not posting female-presenting nipples) is a pun on this guy's name.

my brain keeps telling me his social media username photomatt must be a pun for matte photo paper or matting your photos for an exhibit, but something tells me Matt thinks matting your own photos is for poor people (because it’s a lot of frustrating labor) and I doubt anyone’s demanding prints of his “rich boy with an expensive Nikon” photos

I really really doubt it. It's a pun on his name.
