The answer to "Why" is usually that someone somewhere doesn't care (enough) about wasting your time and/or money. Whether it's laziness or being (relatively) underpaid is TBD.

Besides that, I'm a paid subscriber of two YT channels I like to support. Other subscriptions include GamePass, HumbleBundle, Netflix, Nebula, a couple of monthly donations.

I have way too many as I never set a budget, so I subscribe and unsubscribe on a whim. YT is a must for me - I often fall asleep watching videos on my phone and ads ruin this, but since I learned that channel owners get more money from those views (versus ads), I am happy to continue.

I think this is how I discovered PZ. I used to fall asleep with his RimWorld videos. Very calming voice. Then I looked at the other games on the channel and got intrigued by PZ.

What if, the person you really like actually becomes a time traveler in the future and they went back to the present and stopped themselves from hooking up with you, so you don't break their heart in the future, you future asshole?

Someone will advise him to be more subtle, so he'll go with something like My Struggle 2025. May even publish it as a book.

Yep, plus non-tech companies pissing money away while simultaneously laying off people based on speculation and outright lies that AI will replace them.
I don't know what the effect of the dotcom boom was outside tech (I was young), but this time it's everyone's problem.

Problem is, this time there are big players pushing "AI" which gives it legitimacy. Microsoft seems all-in, Google is scrambling in FOMO panic, heck even Apple is adding AI crap.
Leading to many more people in the "I don't know why, but we need it" bandwagon and the resulting meltdown will be huge.

Our friend the Hoesch's is a small toad only growing to about 1.5 inches long! Their bodies have a multicolored and pebbly appearance that helps them blend in really well with the rocky outcrops where they live in Namibia! (photo by marius)

This is probably part of why everyone on bluesky is 38 years old: 38 year olds are basically the only people who consider it totally normal to flee a sinking ship and then just casually resume the conversation on the tropical island they end up on.
They've outlived dozens of ships.

I keep thinking about the thread below. Merely repeating racist lies distorts reality. When Musk does it (with "!" nonetheless) - it affects millions.
Social media allows you to push your views, your version of reality, into people's heads and this racist prick has the loudest voice.

I figured the context (I've watched it), but got curious about the Wiki article. If you go ONLY by it, it does sound purely profit motivated.

Taken alone, the Wikipedia article feels quite damning. With:
"internal comments [...] and findings by a US court suggest that the direct motive [...] was to increase profits"
"[GE]'s main consideration in setting the lifespans of bulbs was profit"
The rest reads like cartel making up excuses.

I stare in disbelief as it gets worse. People in the replies chime in with ideas - try alternating poisons, someone links to research papers about the effects of poisonous plants on horses.
Who are these sickos? Where am I?
Then I realize it's a writers' forum, they are researching a story. 🤦♂️

Going in a random internet rabbit hole, I stumble upon a 2012 forum post of someone asking "how to poison a horse". It seems bad - they want it to be over a month, making it sicker and sicker, the vet shouldn't be able to figure it out.
What's going on?

*That* is lashon hara in a nutshell. A true statement, not a lie, but one which absolutely conveys a totally negative impression of another person.
Speaking lashon hara is considered one of the most heinous things you can do, it's literally put right up there with murder.
