You're just looking at the marketing speak from the new design language. When thinking about design systems, there are few different levels and you speak about different ones depending on who you are talking to. For me it breaks down s

> There is very little political and culture war crap on it That all depends on what kind of content you engage with. There is plenty of "political and culture war" type content on TikTok. You probably just don't see it.

Yes, Yeti coolers are generally the most expensive coolers. But if that was the only reason for their high price point, we would see alternative rotomolded coolers of similar quality that are significantly cheaper, not just the 10-33% we te

Except construction costs are insane nowadays, and there is a massive shortage of trade workers. Your theory could hold true if we just considered existing homes, but the costs to build a new home have went through the roof in the last deca

It’s not. There are a ton of variables that determine the quality of your water. In many cases, well water will be significantly worse (my childhood home being a great example).

The point is neither drilling a well or building your own power plant are realistic alternatives for 99% of the people. Whereas switching to ddg is a realistic alternative for 99% of the people.

No. That's not it at all. If your page takes 3 seconds to show anything at all, your bounce rate will be stupid high. If your page loads nearly instantaneously with placeholders, and then the content loads in over the span of 4 seconds

Yeah except for exponential increases in EV adoption, solar/wind power, and energy storage. Change is coming, and it's coming fast. Not saying it's enough, but it will make a significant difference.
