   Bizarre, isn't it? The goal seems to be to rely entirely on Javascript and throw away any native OS/browser handling. If your designers/product managers are asking for that it's time to find another job.

   Basic training filters out anyone who would object - same reason there are so few smart people in the police.

    HN is the last place you should ask this question. It's full of tech bros who have never known adversity or alienation.

    UnHerd has a following among conspiracy theorists, but its journalism is pretty good! E.g. here's an interview with Sajid Javid (UK minister for health) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7yZZKlg-m8

    Why are you recommending private support channels? Shouldn't OP use your regular customer support channels?
