TFA focuses on the significant problem of mismanagement of US public lands, and the extent to which handing over such a large amount of control over these publicly owned resources to a private entity with a profit motive has lead to negative results.
The design and functioning of rec.gov itself is not even tangential to the subject.
In any event, that unlikely to be helpful in this specific situation, as the majority of all revenues from rec.gov go directly to BAH[1], rather than to the public land management agencies responsible for stewarding the resources in the public interest.
BAH also has price setting authority, with a dearth of public oversight.
I think Paul's emphasis on BAH's financials is meant to support the argument that a significant element of the management of a publicly owned resource should not have been handed over to an entity that is driven by profit motive.
And signing over authority over pricing and eliminating much of the public oversight was especially inappropriate.
There's one in Tusayan on the way to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, as well.
Increasing prices will only exacerbate the existing issues around equitable access.
Here's an article[1] describing a University of Montana study on the subject, for anyone who would like to consider the issue in greater depth.
The site's UX is not at issue here.

They are the ones who removed that, in a stated effort to put SF back on the right track. They don't deserved to be maligned for their efforts.
Have there been any updates from Cloudflare about when they expect R2 to reach GA?
Alcohol is a disinhibitor. While there are different reasons that people use it, many find that it enables them to step away from their anxieties, if only temporarily, and feel a sense of connection to the people around them.
I'm not saying it's a reasonable substitute for healthy communication and relationship skills, but for some the development of the same can be a long, slow, and difficult process.
The use of alcohol as a "social lubricant" can help some people get through the hard times. Life is difficult for everyone, and I don't think it's fair to accuse anyone who uses alcohol as a way to lighten up of "not having a personality" unless and until you've walked a mile in their shoes.
New reddit ('the redesign') is a disaster, and old.reddit.com + RES is what makes the site usable. It's going to be a tremendous loss if (when) they are no longer available.
lemmy.ml (no affiliation) looks interesting and it's one possibility for where to go next, but there is currently very little activity there for some of my interests.
