Absolutely. And they push bundles that don't make financial sense but look attractive because we're conditioned to think bundles are good. $30 to check a bag OR $72 to check a bag and board in Group 2 lol.

It shouldn't be OK and Media Matters will surely file for a change of venue. They're located in DC and Twitter in California. Heck, Twitters own TOS says that your use of the service is governed by California law, so any claim that they fraudulently used the service should be handled in California.
But activist judges are also known to deny motions for made up reasons, so Twitter starts in Texas in hopes an activist judge keeps the case there to "stick it to the liberals."
Nope. It's fully a marketing term and always has been. Worked at a firm that used a very, very basic bit of machine learning. But you better believe our marketing and investor pitch decks said "AI" a ton.
The Internet: "If you're not paying, you're the product, not the customer." The Internet: "Ads suck! We're going to block them."
Content Providers: "OK, we're going to charge to pay for our bills then."
The Internet: "HOW DARE YOU?"
YouTube doesn't stop you from using uBO if you're paying.
You could pay for the service with cash instead of ad views. Works on all devices without having to set up an adblocking VPN or Pi-Hole.
Preach. The Act 2 to Act 3 transition is brutal. >!The BBEG is marching on the city. Better stop to catch a circus act and have ASMR sex with three hookers.!<
Even with the time they had, you can tell that Act 3 didn't get nearly the love that Act 1 did. I imagine anything done in a rushed manor won't have the charm.
I think I saw one trailer months ago that I looked up on YouTube. I'm pretty sure I never saw an actual ad for it. The first I heard it was out this weekend is articles like this. Doesn't that lack of advertising usually mean the studio has already written it off?
I think you forgot this: /s
I mean, define bloatware?
A piece of software can use a lot of system resources without being bloatware if it provides user value commiserate with the resource demand.
Aside from a browser, my IDE provides everything I need to develop software. Terminal, debugger, http client, linter, test runner, prettier, code assist, db client, ftp client, git ui, search tool with indexes, etc.
Could I install ten smaller pieces of software to accomplish the same things and only run them when I need them? Sure. But why? I'm lucky to have a decent machine that runs fine with Chrome, Zoom, Slack, Docker Desktop, and four IDE instances open.
The inventory management isn't great, but between sorting by weight and latest, plus the text search, it didn't hinder my ability to play. You basically just have to ignore the visual inventory in favor of those options.
