If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything.
Edit: They're quite possibly violating their own licenses here, but I'm not a lawyer so don't take it as fact.

With regards to the second half of your post: I understand how you meant for it to come across and that you posted it with the best of intentions, but it still hurts a little bit to read. To save you the sob story, let's just say it's a bit similar to telling paraplegic to be happy with his cool motorised wheelchair that he gets to ride around in all day, and that some of the greatest achievements in history were made by people who often sat in chairs also :)
The ability to recognise when someone might be thirsty, doesn't mean dehydration no longer exists. They go together.
It sometimes happens that I just physically can't bring myself to complete some simple but important chore. That's not because I'm mentally weak, but because my ADHD brain does not provide the right amount of dopamine which everyone else with a more typical brain would get.
The only comment I posted on this entire post was the one[0] where I said: "Which also seems to be covered by the same privacy policy". I purposefully used the word "seems" because I'm not entirely sure whether that's true, and also included a link so people can check it out for themselves.
If you honestly consider this grifting and intentional misdirection, then I'd be interested to hear what you believe I'm trying to achieve here.
For the record I dislike both vendors' products equally as much :)

Inadvertently at first, they were amongst the first to ever even run into some of the complexities of providing internet services at scale after all. But then the rot took hold and Google Chrome was created.
Additionally, most initiatives aimed at improving the situation have only resulted in yet more overhead in the form of additional committees with each their own agendas and procedures, or the creation of another new deeply interconnected but otherwise completely separate sibling standard[0][1][3][4], fragmenting things even further.
I used to be quite heavily involved with some of the more meritful of those initiatives, but at some point realised that despite all the time and effort I was putting in, nothing really meaningful/impactful had been achieved or was even anywhere in sight, and it was also becoming too costly on a personal level. Guess that's my justification for having the right to post this rant :)

Just look at the official HTML and JavaSc.. nay, ECMAScript specification docs[0][1]. You'd sooner end up with a headache than a functional website if you had no other choice but to use those ;)
Gluttony, greed, envy, and arrogance. This is truly sickening.
The only customer Microsoft seems to care about or is really even cognizant of its responsibilities towards, is Microsoft itself. Every single one of its products and services exists solely because and only for as long as some division of Microsoft believes it requires those specific things and whatever they're meant to evolve into over time, in order to manage its increasingly complex and ever expanding internal operations.
It's like a snake eating its own tail.

Used to use it for book release notifications too, but that broke some years ago for me and I've yet to receive a response to my support request from like 4 years ago.

Apple is manoeuvring itself into a position where it could
Without any other reasonable explanation for why it should
Except for the one of which Fruit Union is afraid it wouldThis same method is also used to trick people into executing nefarious shell commands of which an example can be seen here https://thejh.net/misc/website-terminal-copy-paste
Whatever driver-controlled functionality a car offers that can't be automated with a sensor (optionally toggle-able) and which isn't directly related to improving driver awareness, traffic signalling, or vehicle handling probably shouldn't exist in the first place.
For home automation you do you, of course! I can definitely see the appeal of this in that scenario even though it isn't something I'm particularly interested in.
Not at all, it's the only source mentioned simply for the fact that no others bear any relevance to the story.
Frustrating other parties' capability to access as much source material as possible makes sense if you forget about common moral values for a second and reduce everything down to a zero sum game: their loss equals your gain.
About the same amount as the number of wheels on a tricycle ;)
Just to be clear it wasn't meant as an allegation and no proof exists. I consider to resemble something closer to a terribly written fanfic more than anything else, really.
The very first YC fanfic perhaps?
1. Try to cut off any upstart rivals of my better performing bet from playing the same trick by sabotaging easy data extraction
2. Cut my losses and rid myself of future ones by somehow sizing Reddit down a notch, not so much that it dies though - I'm a sentimental guy, bite me
3. Ensure no one finds out I had anything to do with this by throwing someone else under the bus and buying them off if they ever figure it out (lucky for hypothetical VC me, Reddit's CEO seems arrogant, impulsive, and greedy enough that he probably wouldn't even realise having been played before its too late + easily convinced to take the fall for far less than that'd actually be worth)
Wouldn't it be something if I could have the subject of step 3 take care of step 1 and 2 for me, perhaps together in one single master-stroke of a go?
