Well, it didn't just happen. It must've been 130 to 11 billion years ago.
Still, in a real, causal sense, it did. Until the light reached us, there was no way it could have affected us any sooner, so it might as well have happened right when we saw it. It only just entered the double light cone of our Universe.
Berners-Lee is smart enough to know that all systemic rating scales are subject to being gamed.

Back in the last century some ad people at a business school did an experiment that indicated that thirty seconds of the name of the product being repeated in a loud, obnoxious voice was just as effective as an entertaining ad.
I've got something to apply directly to your forehead for bringing back that memory.
Clearly the OP does not really understand what advertising is usually about. Most mass market advertising does not try to provide information, it is providing associations. It presents something enjoyable (here it is assumed that Seinfeld+Gates==Enjoyable) and then presents the branding that they want to be associated with that enjoyable feeling.
So what I'm getting from this is that sponsors aren't getting enough credit for sponsoring the programming (you like the show we sponsor, so buy our products), so they've gone to sponsoring their own ads (you like our little vignette we paid to insert into the show you like, so buy our products).
What's next: breaking up entertaining ads with more commercials from subsidiaries, or commercial breaks that are just one big blipvert of company logos? (I.e. more meta levels or a collapse of them?)
Looks like a "! important" needs to be in there too before the closing brace. Maybe also another rule to force a fixed-width font if you prefer them: part of the reason it is so small is that it's 50 characters wide using a narrow proportional font.
Humans need to know they'll live on somehow, that their lives have some meaning. And if you're not famous enough to hope for historical eternal life, than soul is what you have left.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is another proof that human beings have the uncanny ability to look so hard for underlying meaning, they start seeing it where it doesn't actually exist.
Sarah Forbes: Doesn't give you much comfort does it? Not believing in an afterlife. Kurt Mendel: On the contrary, it gives me lots of comfort. Sarah Forbes: How can the prospect of nonexistence be comforting? Kurt Mendel: I look at it like this: before I came on stage, the Universe had been around for twelve billion years. All that time I was in a state of nonexistence, and it wasn't bad. Pretty comfortable as a matter of fact. I figure it'll be just as comfortable for the next twelve billion years. Sarah Forbes: So all those people were wrong to believe in a higher power? Kurt Mendel: [referring to the destroyed Earth] Look what good it did 'em. -- Odyssey 5 "Pilot"
There was a short story (televised) about a guy needing money so he was selling his memories and experiences. Trafficking in memories is illegal. Later, when he realizes what he lost, he demands his memories back. The guy can't give them back, but can replace them with others. At the end he's being interviewed for a job and relates a multiply contradicting story involving attending multiple colleges, being an only child, playing with several brothers and sisters, his parents dying when he was young, and how proud they were when they attended to his graduation from Yale. All reiterated matter-of-factly, oblivious to any of the contradictions.
I don't remember if it was the newer Outer Limits or the newest Twilight Zone or another similar Fox series that was canceled after one season (TV remotes figured into that show's motif). And I don't recall enough of the exact phrases to put together a useful search.
Are you saying that when Lex Luthor and The Flash switched minds, they didn't swap cerebellum memories, which allowed Luthor access to The Flash's powers and denied The Flash use of them in Luthor's body?
I'm so worried about whether I should have stopped then. I'm so worried that I'm driving everyone 'round the bend. I'm worried about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow.
I'm worried about whether I ought to have stopped, And I'm worried because it's the sort of thing I ought to know, And I'm so worried about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow.
I'm so worried about what's happening today in the Middle East, you know, And I'm so worried about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow.
I'm so worried about the fashions today: I don't think they're good for your feet; And I'm so worried about the shows on TV that sometimes they want to repeat.
I'm so worried about what's happening today, you know, And I'm worried about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow.
I'm so worried about my hair falling out and the state of the world today, And I'm so worried about being so full of doubt about everything, anyway.
I'm so worried about modern technology. I'm so worried about all the things that they dump in the sea. I'm so worried about it, worried about it. Worried, worried, worried.
I'm so worried about everything that can go wrong. I'm so worried about whether people like this song.
I'm so worried about this very next verse. It isn't the best that I've got, And I'm so worried about whether I should go on, or whether I shouldn't just stop.

I think there was a documentary on this subject.

So you're saying they don't even know what they're requiring us to agree to?
Am I going to find myself dropped into a deadly puzzle cube someday?

As Napoleon once said: "History is a set of lies agreed upon"
Quite often, truth is just what most people think.

LaserDiscs came out before DVDs.
The price of flash continues to drop. The price of BD media and burners will come down. The question will be, which falls the fastest?
In a marketing vacuum, neither of them sell and they both hit zero value simultaneously.
Otherwise, it depends marketplace resistance.
