I think it's cultural differences. In the west, we abhor pay to win and predatory aspects. But in Korea, China and other countries in that region, players demand it.

So then it comes down to which market region you're targeting. If you're not a NA/EU mobile developer, how do you choose? 🤷‍♂️ Can't keep everyone happy.

I assume all the bot farms are paying for the privilege.

So, the Internet of Shit is not just a euphemism now. Great...

To add to what others have replied, Amazon have an institutional belief that everyone who makes it through the Loop is better than 50% of existing staff.

It could be post-hoc rationalising of back-loaded share vesting, hire-to-fire, and their other many practices, but that's the position. With that kind of thinking, it makes this behaviour, including it's consequences, a no-brainer win:win to them.

TIL that version appears to be on the AUR: MicroEMACS/PK 4.0.15 customized by Linus Torvalds.

Last updated in 2014, it probably has serious cobwebs now. Even the upstream hasn't been touched in 6 years.

You appear not to have heard of Google Glass.

Hadn't seen that before. Love it. 😄

This seems a reach. Podcasting (MP3 files distributed by an RSS feed) is platform agnostic.

To me, claiming that any platform is "killing" any demographic's podcasting capability is screaming "I know absolutely nothing about podcasts".

YMMV. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I think it's the usual "it hasn't impacted me personally, so how bad can it be" maintaining the status quo at all costs.

Once something happens that they care about, they'll be on the Fediverse that day crowing loudly about how awful Xitter has suddenly become...
