What actually qualifies as misinformation? I see lots of things these days that fall under that label that would simply have been called gossip in the past and covered from the perspective of exploring popular gossip.
This seems at least somewhat cultural. My family was big on photo albums so nearly everything had at least a cheap disposable camera picture taken. It wasn't to the extent it is now but you still got multiple pictures per year for birthdays, holidays, school awards, extracurriculars like ymca sports, etc.
"Might makes right" is a weird takeaway from what I said. That you tried to refocus on corporations while ignoring my reference to the children was also strange. If anything, that you didn't address my point about the overwhelming utility of regionally homogenous languages is more telling of how much there is to fear. 'So what if some culture is lost when the utility gained was so beneficial' was my point. From everything you've said it seems like you don't actually disagree with me.
This is rediculous. Just a few years ago there was an article about silicon valley casual fashion being challenging for minorities who grew up outside the bubble and were taught to dress their best in a work suit or similar. The LGBT is huge on visual signals of allegiance. Popular brands are built 80% on what their brand signals and not on their build quality. There are countless examples of clothing being used to signal elements of personal identity but for some reason you seem to consider this 'fascile' because our wardrobes aren't full-on biographies of personality.
I don't understand why people get so sentimental when gravitating towards a regional mega-tongue is virtually always superior to small pockets of 'culture'. Culture is what the losers of history cling to because their way turned out to be a worse way. If the language had value it would survive plain and simple. Children rarely fail to learn their parent's native language if it offers actual utility to them.
Speaking as an avid Stadia user, I think this has a lot more to do with Stadia's library being garbage compared to the non-Stadia options. I can't imagine a reason an e-sport pro would want to go from the entire competitive ecosystem as a choice to just what's on Stadia. Even for casually competitive players, there's a massive lack of mainstream competitive titles on Stadia. Maybe the latency input is the problem but it seems like a big assumption with how miniscule the library is.
