I'm not really trying to disprove or disagree with anything, I just think that knowing the sample is important. For instance, earlier in Hungary, we've had a lot of billboards and other media claiming that 99% of Hungarians were against things like sending aid to Ukraine and gender affirming politics. In a purely statistical sense, this was correct and could dissuade the common folk into thinking that's representative of the country. However when you investigate further, their research was done on just a couple thousand citizens that were all either affiliated someway to Fidesz (the rulling party) or historically voted for them, which overwhelmingly skews the results towards one end.

According to both websites, the research was conducted on just 2000 USA citizens. In my opinion, that's a lot of weight being pulled by claiming they represent the entire country. I am unable to download the research papers here, but what does it say about the sample? If they are researching solely on more tech savvy people, then I think the results are very likely to be skewed to one side

Because they want every little dime they can get, no matter what.

If every single person that uses adblock decided to move to Firefox because of MV3, it wouldn't make a single dent in Chromium's dominance. We vastly overstate the amount of people that even know what an adblocker is.

Probably the same as everything else (except Twitter): he gave them money and took credit for everything

Found the yank thinking their yellow plastic and cheddar are the same thing

This and the automated reply achieve precisely nothing you're setting out to do. People won't register in a service or install a new app solely to talk to you.

Well if you're in a country that uses WhatsApp as a main communication platform, then either you use it too or you don't talk to your friends, family and more.

This game costs 80€. No other game in the market costs as high as that for a base edition. You're claiming that a 80€ game offering a 20€ subscription to a feature every other game that offers it has it for free, is a reasonable thing.

Some people are really delirious...

a human is entirely defined by their country of origin

This reeks of Americanism, yanks are absurdly obsessed with race and nationality
