I see this as an implicit zeroth parameter of a function.
You can explicitly assign its value by using the .call or .apply or .bind methods.
Event listeners provide the event object as the first argument and the receiving element as the zeroth argument this.
But I get that it is confusing, by its implicitness and by having many rules associated with it.
However, I don't know why have you suggested React Hooks as a remedy for this. You know that React isn't everything, right? People use JS for other things than React.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
