https://whatscookingamerica.net/History/NYEggCreamHistory.htm
This old-time New York thirst-quencher is sweet and full of fizz. Despite its name, the egg cream contains neither eggs nor cream. In the beginning, it was a soda produced almost exclusively in New York (particularly Brooklyn). The basic ingredients are milk, seltzer, and chocolate syrup. It is traditionally made in a small Coke-style glass.True New Yorkers insist that it is not a classic egg cream without Fox’s U-Bet Chocolate Syrup. It is perfectly proper to gulp down an egg cream. In fact, egg cream will lose its head and become flat if it is not enjoyed immediately. For many years, the egg cream remained a product sold only through New York soda fountains because bottled versions were impossible to make. The cream, chocolate, and soda had a tendency to separate and to go bad after a couple days at best, and efforts to pasteurize or preserve the product ruined the taste. Today, Egg Cream drinks are being bottled by a few small companies.
Egg creams became so popular that author, Elliot Willensky, wrote in his book titled When Brooklyn Was the World: 1920-1957, “a candy store minus an egg cream, in Brooklyn at least, was as difficult to conceive of as the Earth without gravity.”...

No one cares what he thinks. BUT, when he makes a thread people click it, and controversy begins. When controversy begins, people are most likely going to stay on the forum while it is going. When more people are on the forum arguing controversy, people might be drinking during it. When people are drinking during it, they might accidentally click one of those "book banners" up at the top. When people accidentally click one of those "book banners" at the top, JJ gets paid through SBR. So the point is to make as many threads as possible, and to post as much nonsense as possible to keep people online, and eventually everyone gets paid. Rinse and repeat.
