He writes opinion and analysis. You don't have to only report on primary sources for your work to be seen as journalism or for it to be useful. Your claim is pretty bizarre.

Why do we care about the number of jobs? We use this as a proxy for individual well being, but having a job is not intrinsically valuable. What matters is that everyone in a society has their needs met. We should not be optimising the numbe

Soundcloud has amazing recommendations, which is the best feature of the platform in my view. It's so easy to find great music that's related to tracks you already like. I have found literally thousands of new tracks from its &#x2

This criticism has nothing to do with Game Pass. There are micro transactions whether you buy the game stand alone, play via Game Pass or play the free to play multiplayer.

Whatsapp had 700m+ monthly users in early 2015 [1] before they scrapped their subscription fee in early 2016 [2]. Whatsapp was free to use in some jurisdictions for the first year, so we can't assume there was $700m in revenue, but the
