I, with nothing but a criminal amount of free time and a splash of insanity, could probably maintain a nearly perfect, up-to-date, and highly detailed list of every single major holiday observed in the world, and I'm a dumbass with no money. Pretty sure Google could afford a couple extra holidays if they cut the budget of the racism department.

Would much rather pay a small developer directly than be force-fed ads, even if the excuse is that the ads pay the bills. I don't think this is a particularly unique sentiment and there are plenty of less scummy ways to generate funding than by running advertisements.

Nothing at all suspicious about that

The funny irony is that because money is mostly made up bullshit anyway, we kinda could just decide to print more money and keep its value. Granted, it would take the unanimous agreement of basically everyone on this silly little planet, so the chances of this ever occurring are effectively absolute zero, but still, there is no actual rule that says we cant except for the ones we ourselves created
