Yes, and I bet there are 10x employees in all other areas of work as well.

So many developers I see are overweight, drink alcohol often, play video games until 2AM and then sleep 5 hours, no exercise at all, bad diet, porn addiction.
By having such a bad lifestyle they are really low energy and tend to go into "autopilot" which of course translates to worse output at the job.
People just don't want to have children anymore, fertility rates have dropped a lot post-2012(smartphones and social media)
One thing I've heard is that the Finns consider many of the exchange students to be a bit juvenile since in their home countries people often live with parents until their 30s. Whereas most Finnish students move out and become fully independent by age 20.

"According to the Canadian anthropologist Peter Frost, the current level of hair colour diversity in Europe would have taken 850,000 years to develop, while Homo sapiens has been in Europe no longer than 45,000 years. This is evidence enough that genes for fair hair were inherited from interbreeding with Neanderthals."
Homo sapiens interbred with them and their genetics still live on in the local populations. In fact this is a major reason how different human populations around the world became so different looking in such a short time.
If you downloaded a regular software and the exe file was 5MB that would be considered small nowadays, yet if a web application fetches that in JS it's considered large.
(sidenote: not defending the gifs they're just idiotic)
You don't really have to upgrade every time a new version is out btw.
The social skills of the youth are also getting worse due to smartphones, leading to less interaction in schools at workplaces etc
If you want to find these people, they will be at the night club. In the gym locker room. In the suggestion list of your Instagram feed.
Firstly, the way you interact with and judge strangers is completely different to the way you behave with your friends who you've known for 10 years. The us vs them tribal mentality is built into our brains. Random people are considered as disposable as you don't have any attachment to them and can effectively never see them again in your life if you choose so. Smartphones allow us to instantly tap into an infinite pool of strangers.
Secondly, social media lets us see the lives of the top 0.1% every day. Beforehand you lived in your small filter bubble and didn't know any better. Most people don't look like or hang around with fitness stars or male models in real life. But when you follow a ton of them on Instagram and see their photos daily, your mindset and standards start to change.
Third, the amount of choices online is effectively limitless and a "candy store" effect happens. Why would you pick an "ok" candy when there's 100 brands to pick from that taste like heaven in your mouth?
The problem for men is that the women generally don't think the average man is good enough.
The problem for women is that they're mostly lusting after and eventually, in the long run, sharing the same top 20% men.
If you're a man, it's a winner takes all market. Either almost all women desire you, or not a single one does.
Arranged marriage used to solve this.
Yeah, Google shuts off unpopular, unsuccesful projects. So what? Most of the ones listed are literally useless and/or outdated relics of the past which have been replaced by something better. Google is a business after all, not a charity. They don't want to maintain an useless project from 2005 written using who knows what technology stack.
If Stadia becomes mainstream and acquires a lot of users, they won't kill it off as it will be profitable. If it has an user count of 500 in two years, it will be gutted, why support an unprofitable product?
And this is exactly why communism will NEVER work: 90% of the population just won't be able to produce anything of value by themselves. They just lack the "business instinct" or "drive to hustle" or whatever you want to call it. Is it environmental? genetic? cultural? I don't know, but if you forcefully stop the "creator class" in favor of the 90%, what you will see happening is exactly what happened to the Soviet economy after WW2.
You probably wouldn't watch some random kids stream of them playing football in their backyard. Now imagine Messi himself doing exactly that and also commenting it live, explaining all his tricks and his reasoning for every move he makes on the field. I bet you would be much more interested.
