it's just an analogy

this could be a place to start! makes it easy to upload content and host it on IPFS.
For myself, I've switched to paying for Linux and open source software. I believe open source needs to be sustainable for consumers and expecting devs to work for free is insane.

it's really hard not to be the product.

Is there another resource or evidence you found? The link you posted doesn't seem to confirm this. It simply lists nation-wide stats about several organizations but not Bay Area specific.
I read recently a perspective that said the real purpose of twitter/social media has been to reveal just how idiotic and corrupt our leadership is all the way up the chain on a minute to minute basis (not just big Bay of Pigs style controversies). We have the richest person in the world tweeting about taking a shit.
Given that Amazon is just reaching its might now, the real pain for eBay's marketplace has not yet begun.
That means the worst of eBay is yet to come. Be careful of cornering wounded animals.
You can tell within about 15 seconds or so if a transaction hasn't hit the memepool. Just look up you wallet on blockchain.com/etherscan etc. It's a standard step that nearly every send/receive UI offers a link after submitting a transaction. These services mark mempool transactions as "pending" before they are inserted into a block.
For example, here's a wallet for Gemini, you can see pending transactions under the "Age" column as they hit the mempool [0]. They are "pending" while in the mempool and then are labeled with a time as they are added to blocks.
I'm continually impressed with how resilient the system is, even more-so after our thread about a hypothetical adversary.
(Again you can run your own mempool service on your own node, and publish transactions to it, but in our hypothetical situation you need to instead issue it out through a Whatsapp channel manually.)

An anonymous poster on reddit had a similar issue a few days ago [0]. Their comment got 331 points on HN while this one got 257 points so far. The anonymous one got more points.
Is it possible you're wrong about this aspect?
What if your thesis was "I expect to only see reports of sexism from people with clout because they're the only ones that can actually tell the truth without getting their lives ruined?"
Can you see that this thesis is a possibility?
Everything on OpenSea is priced in cryptocurrencies natively: https://opensea.io/
By USD OpenSea's contract transacted an estimated 8% of Amazon's revenues.
1. Created in 1792
2. Gold standard in 1900
3. Abandoned gold in 1971
Not sure at what point USD was no longer a logical fallacy. If it's the 1971 non-gold-standard dollar to now, then it's exactly 50 years as of now. Or for the full history of the dollar it's 229 years.

It's not all that long when you think about it.
In the USA it is legal to make your own guns.
> The Legal Framework for Individuals: Making a firearm for personal use is legal. Making a firearm for personal use without a federal manufacturing license is legal. This has always been the case, even after the enactment of the Gun Control Act of 1968 ("GCA"). http://freedomblog.skylarklaw.com/2014/10/is-making-firearm-...
Interesting that this came up in a thread about Bitcoin.
