Combined with social media spaces that refused to shut that shit down immediately because it was too profitable to.

Google Search is getting even worse for independent sites ( www.theverge.com )

In February, HouseFresh managing editor Gisele Navarro called out publishers like BuzzFeed and Rolling Stone as some of the culprits that publish content about air purifiers despite a lack of expertise — but Google rewards these sites with high rankings all the same.

This is exactly why people started appending "site:www.reddit.com" to their searches. It was much easier (but not guaranteed) to find organic discussion and reviews of products.

You mean like they did when Windows 7 went EoL?

Or when Windows XP went EoL?

Or when NT 4.0 went EoL?

This isn't the first time Windows has gone EoL in a corporate environment; what makes you think it'll be better or worse than previously?

Forcing B to buy more gas than he might want, to protect the customer after him, because of the customer that came before him, is some horseshit.

You don't fork what's yours to start with.

Hardly anybody needs an EV with more than 200 miles of range if they're plugging in each night.

Speaking of big IFs. Not everybody lives where a charger is convenient or can have one installed in their residence.

Isn't that how non-self-hosted VPNs work by their very nature? The VPN owner is always going to know where your traffic originates and where its destination is.
