Philosophy is equally useless. Until you need a philosopher to help you solve a problem... I'm definitely in the camp of, "All knowledge has value, no knowledge will ever go to waste if you find where it is needed". English studies is like Philosophy in a way - it lets us turn a critical lens on ourselves, our past selves, and examine how we think and what we value. There's many applications for such knowledge. Surely a more noble pursuit than building dark UI patterns into websites.
