Downside to that is there isn’t a ton of people putting effort into efficiency/performance. And they sort of seem to be a dying breed at this point

I don’t love to defend advertising/marketing, but your statement implies that once something has been advertised, organic interest/enjoyment becomes impossible.

Sure, there might’ve been a big ad push that rocketed mayo to the top of people’s condiment lists. But there are dozens of other things that could also create interest (new foods that pair well with it, new recipes that are shared culturally, loss of a competing product, diet changes)

I’m not sure who you mean is shilling for corporations, but that’s certainly not the vibe I got from most of this thread.

It would be nice to see corporate profits wiped, especially after so much price gouging we’ve had to endure.

But why do you think that gouging will stop?

Let’s imagine that it does hurt corporate profits first. Will they survive? Probably the big ones, might be a bit harder for little ones. So the world keeps turning, right? But like you said the end customer will eat some of the costs, so we agree that prices will go up in the end.

Where’s the upside? More money funneled into the government? Paid by the increased prices for the consumer, or some dips in corporate profits?

I’m not sure that’s a win for the consumer normies.

Why is the M upside-down?

The DNS system is still just computers/servers, so anything from overloading a server to outright man-in-the-middle type attacks can compromise the DNS (though this is where you’d get into how the DNS communicates, propagates, and distributes trust, which is a topic that I have little knowledge on)

You just casually dropping in that 832 is divisible by 8 makes me feel as if there’s a small gap in our abilities to do mental math
