If they had the ability to track people on the radio, they absolutely would. There is of course lots of market research and demographic profiling into how people consume old media, the internet just allows them to do it more easily.

Most fantasy genre fans have tried a bit of Sanderson simply due to how prolific and popular he is. Hence we all have opinions. In the same vein, most fantasy fans will also have some opinion on Harry Potter. Or pop music fans will have som

Our lockdowns simply can’t be worse in the future, at least not in living memory. The people who have lived through them simply won’t stand for them.

It’s not the cyclist’s fault there is so separate bicycle path though. Moreover, cyclists don’t cause congestion; motorists do. The congestion + noise + safety issues mean motorists are causing orders of magnitudes more negative externaliti

Is that discrimination? To prefer candidates from one university over another?

The point of my comment wasn’t “Harvard kids are discriminated against”, the point is that your hiring logic doesn’t make sense.
