I think my pessimism is just based purely on how other tech companies operate, and the nature of large publically traded companies, they have every obligation to make more cash for shareholders. There's only so many ways to do that, cut costs, sell more, or raise prices. Easiest is to cut costs, so fewer admins on worse hardware. There's always only so many customers who will ever buy, and demand elasticity determines how much they can charge at any given moment.

Advertisers are one customer they can work with really easily, I don't doubt that posts could be seeded internally for those purposes. Again though, all this is hearsay based on poll numbers, just the nature of the beast informs my thoughts on it

Perhaps not, but I don't doubt that it's had an effect for the worse either way

Definitely not because going public shifted their obligations to trying to make as much money as possible

I like a lot of interpretations here, and while not strictly non religious, Gnosticism is more reverence of the knowledge rather than the institutions, worth looking into if you're theocurious https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnosticism

The judges, while entirely bought and paid for, might at least be smart enough to realize that starving their own population is probably not going to end the way anyone really wants

Even 1% of 7 million might be enough

I feel Bill Burr was coming in strong before the Saudi thing, sucks

Or they want people to starve to incite the riots that allows them to apply more military pressure. I hate that that's a sentence I said with so sense of irony
