A bug that also affected me was reported at least twice (March 2019 and April 2019[1]).
After 5 months of wait, the OP posted a script he wrote to work around the issue.
A simple path building issue took 8-9 months to get pushed in the BETA channel.

There were also rumors of an acquisition at the same time, which were denied.

Those are only 3 examples a ton of people pay for.
If you provide a good service, you will get subscribers. News have been available for free for decades thanks to OTA TV broadcasts. That's why people don't pay for it.
Niche journalism needs to have subscriptions since they can have way less views and people looking for news on that niche are ready to pay.

Not sure if it was just in my part of the world, but when Dropbox started, people only paid for local storage. And that was mostly technical people outside of small USB drives.

Ex : I call my bank and I have to go through a menu leading me to the right agent. Eventually, it asks for my password over the phone that I need to type using the 10 numbers on a phone dial.
Good luck using your fingerprint there :)

Everyone will search for something with a different set of words based on their experience. If most of those sets of words, all used to search for the same topic in the end, return the same results, isn't it an improvement?
Unfortunately, as you said, it doesn't help when trying to tweak the results you see to find your answer, but most people probably don't search in depth to find THE answer, but are looking for AN answer.

Yes, it's cheap, but there aren't many good job opportunities around a ghost town.

The difference in weight is mostly due to the reduced body size, so less materials used.
A thinner phone also generally weighs less due to less material.
The combination of soldered battery (so thinner phone) and "bezelless" design could explain a large part of the difference in weight due to less materials used.

On Airbnb, it's up to the property owner to decide cleaning fees and such, and there isn't any rule about what that includes (that I know of).

She just keeps the TV on at all times.
Watching a show on Netflix on her tablet? TV on.
Takes a shower and is in the bathroom for 30-45 minutes? TV on.
Leaves the house and someone is there, though not watching TV? Let's TV on. I have to shut it down myself.
I have absolutely no idea how she picked up that habit. No one in the (immediate) family does it.

What if Google or Apple or Microsoft, for whatever reason, decide to pull the plus on their service?
Now you paid for nothing and don't own whichever movie you "bought" anymore.

Ideally, there would still be buttons to allow both types of control though.

Unless you talk to them face to face, most, if not all, forms of communication rely on third parties.
