That's true in more or less every job, it can be done well or done poorly. Incentive should be keeping the job at all. Tips are an infuriating hidden cost.

Yeah it’s an apt time. Of course I’m not sure the legal request will stick.

Your google point is pretty valid, they’d be removing a source of income and sending users to a competitor. I think DDG is fine for the time being.

I think the root of the problem you’re getting at isn’t that we shouldn't have leaders we elect, but that education and trustworthy journalism in a democracy are vitally important.

This is a pretty great analogy and shows why some Apple customers are honestly happy with the current model. Besides, if you allowed more stores, nothing’s going to get cheaper for the customer, Epic will just make slightly more money and charge the same amount and customers will be left with the worse experience. The only advantage of loading apps from anywhere would be to load apps that are banned. Emulators or torrent apps.

This doesn’t make sense. The slaving government in ancient Egypt was supported for a long time. Just because a form of government exists doesn’t mean it isn’t abusive to some of it’s people or to other countries.
