Isekai'd Goblin Discovers transmission

Three independent sources—two whistleblowers and one extremely talkative goblin—have confirmed that transmission is exactly what we feared, plus one extra thing nobody warned us about.

transmission is, by now, sufficiently online that any take on it is automatically also a take on the takes. Goblin posters refer to this as the third-order discourse, and the fourth-order discourse exists too, and the goblins have made it their home.
