By selling advertiser space via their website and newsletter they encourage people to sign up for. You can tell the one in the OP is focused on that in their advertise page https://openalternative.co/advertise and the ad for the owners other platforms which help people monetize list/data table sites like this.
Both are setup to profit from these recommendations, especially the one in the OP. I’m not suggesting these aren’t useful sites, but that there are financial motivations at play as well
He was described as having better access than Republican senators. He had the ear of the president. He had millions of followers. They are flying the flag at half mast. The president called him legendary. Look at the outpouring of support for his family.
What do you mean there was nothing special about him? Prior to his death he was considered in the top5 important people to the maga movement. Stop living in ignorance and look around you.

Video game crash? What?
The only moral theft is my theft.
You say it’s not unique and then list the ways it’s unique by packaging up multiple different services into 1.
Totally agree it’s a privacy nightmare but you discredit the service too much. There’s a reason it’s widely adopted the way it is, and it’s not because it’s the same as everything else.
Can’t get feedback if no one plays it and a demo is the easiest way for someone to play it.
What’s the risk of creating the demo? Is there a downside?
How can someone know which mfg are good and bad? Or those who have changed?
This happened where I work a few years ago before the AI boom. We had a massive influx of support queries and leadership decided to pull people from tech product success and sales for a full quarter to work on the backlog.
They then dismantled the success teams after they were temporarily demoted to support, then being fired or permanently demoted after the backlog cleared
Three years later now they are building out that success team again.
What a wild time and such stupid management decisions.
They are looting their company for him and each other. Simple as.
I feel your premise remains flawed with these examples. The average consumer is not tinkering in the ways you describe, regardless. The average person isn’t following traces, looking for broken pins, or guessing how devices work.
You may have an intimate understanding of the technologies of your youth/life but that is not a universal truth amongst people of the time you are referencing.
The same people repairing their VHS in the 90s are replacing their android smart phone screens or batteries today. As the other posters have mentioned, tinkerers today are even creating their own competition products or major revisions thanks to cheap compute modules, arduinos, 3d printers, and cheap electronic parts from China.
Check yourself, you are assuming life was better in the past when the reality is that today features far more opportunity at an affordable cost with copious resources/tutorials for any individual to manipulate their technology.
I’m confused by your comment You start by praising AI, 75% productivity increase is immense. Then you say 9/10 of it sucks. What’s the rub? Personal vs professional opinion?
Wordpress makes up like 40% of the Internet depending on the source of the claim. I’m pretty sure it’s used for more than just blogs.
A friend who is local to the area asked one of the guardsmen and supposedly their firearms aren’t loaded. This circus gets worse every day.
I’m already wasting my time on this site and other “social media”, I don’t need to waste more of it by seeing shitty commenters regularly. You tag them to avoid, I block them to avoid. We are doing very similar actions, but I don’t even see them and waste my time reading the tag that tells me they suck
Idk. You do you but curating my online experience is not a red flag, it’s healthy
Politics is compromise. To suggest otherwise is to ask for something other than fair political representation.
I think there are many others one could point to more accurately, including Yahoo who purchased and then resold tumblr.
While Tumblr has made a lot of changes, some of which were walked back, they are still a well used and beloved site today. There are many now-dead or barely alive behemoth Internet companies that are better examples of “poster child for running a terrible Internet business” imo.
