Janeway: What makes you think she is a Borg?
Seven: Well, she turned me into a drone!
Janeway: A drone?
Seven: I got better.
Create the problem, sell the solution.
But why pay all those programmers when all they had to do from the beginning was a simple

When you start a new language, you learn “The Rules” first, and wonder why your first language doesn’t have such immutable “Rules.”
Then when you get fluent, you realize there are just as many exceptions as your first language.
Don’t worry, though. It’s not in development hell, it’s going to be a AAAAA game, and that takes time.
That was a big talking point a few years ago. Polling companies stubbornly held on to calling landlines for too long, but the only people who had landlines were not representative of the voting population.
They try to correct for things like age, income, race, etc, by weighting the answers to match the wider population, but it’s hard to correct for things like “stubbornly old-fashioned regardless of physical age.”
Also PETA got involved, because they’ve never seen an animal-centric story they couldn’t weasel themselves into.
Requiring a login would probably cut off a significant portion of their audience and ad revenue. Only Google analysts know for sure, but if the eyeballs lost to cutting off casual visitors (sent to YT from links or embeds, etc) are greater than the losses due to, frankly, a small portion of users who would just end up blocking ads in other ways, it’s a net loss for Google.

It’s starting, for sure. Assuming it ever really stopped, that is.
There are certain talking heads on TV that can only be explained by the theory that there’s no such thing as bad publicity. He gets people talking, even if it’s usually only about how bad he is.
Outrage media works. Sports commentary especially seems to depend on it.
In your case, I’m guessing lots of people have heard the horror stories of shitty, scammy repair techs in various fields (automobiles being one prominent example). The good ones have to deal with the occupational reputation driven by the worst of them.
For me, I don’t consider myself a real expert in any specific subject, but I’m adjacent to a number of financial areas. I try not to delve into the weeds of those internet discussions too often (like I said, not an ironclad expert), and even when I do, it’s only to address the most egregious errors. Money can be an emotional topic, and many of those opinions are based on the way people want the world to be rather than the way it is, so show up with facts and references and they tend to understand.

Joke’s on all you skinny folks. I carry a month of calories on me 24/7.
“Two popular games with little else in common can be shoehorned into my pet narrative” is a bad title, though.
