Why not disassemble it and sell all the working parts, if they are rare and expensive?

This will not happen, as long as other people find a way to use "religion" for power, influence or financial gain. Some people already thought that the mass adaption of the internet would be the end of religion, scams and other fraud preying on the gullible minds, because people could just read up what the catch is and not fall for it, right?

Unfortunately the scams just adapted, made their own flashy homepages that mostly outranked critical information and people just choose to belive what they want to belive.

I'm not sure which platform (fb, Twitter, YouTube???) it was, but it did count "unfollow" or "block user/block channel/block post" as negative feedback, limiting future reach of this person's posts to other users of the platform.

Reddit has a lot of users that spend a lot of time there, so it is advertising potential, and a lot of Brands pay for ads on Reddit. Investors hope they will eventually make enough ad revenue to turn a profit.

However Twitter was and is in the same boat, it is a big site with many users, but was never profitable.

He gifted himself a ludicrous $193 million compensation package.

Reddit, a 20-year-old company, has yet to turn a profit. In 2023, the platform lost a whopping $90.8 million.

Can someone explain to me how reddit can make a loss, while he pays himself MORE than the loss? Does that not mean that reddit would have made a 113 Million profit before his $193 million compensation package? What kind of business-algebra-gymnastics is at work here?

Don't have any of that; except that youtube keeps showing me colorfull gambling ads in the style of a farmville game... before and between kids videos.

(this happens when playing youtube via chromecast on the lounge TV; i have adblockers on my computers)

Well to be honest, the advertised tent looks like Snow White's Coffin to me...

If you start explaining some fact with god or religion, all I hear is "I'm done thinking!"

You assume that crypto is some "honest" and "for the people" currency system because its all documented in the blockchain, when in reality it is gamed by big banks, investors and scammers just like other financial tool where a lot of money is involved and no or insufficiant regulations are in place. If Elon tweets "you can no longer buy tesla withy bitcoin", your savings will loose a lot of value over night.

Google maps also allows map downloads for when you are offline.

Search should be social, not commercial.

this would be gamed by companies in the same way social media is used to advertise businesses.

I dont want to mention a name here, but it's the brand that has an office here ...
