That situation you describe never actually happened, except maybe during the very first few hours, days or weeks after the Web's birth. Remember bandwidth, machines and access used to cost way more back then than they do now, so resour

Yes it's the decent thing to do. Building a tool that works juuuuust enough for people to set it up and start relying on it, and then never ever fixing the most salient and impactful bugs because "people aren't entitled anyth

The tone might be off but it seems like a perfectly valid question. If most users have wanted X for years but the developer instead spent her energy implementing Y and Z that noone else cares about, that begs questions like how are features

For those reading, be aware that while signing "I do not agree" is borderline fraudulent, at least it's not clear user impersonation ie identity theft. There are people who do similar things but sign "Daffy Duck" or

An insurrection is when "The People" rebel against their Government. Participants in that specific (failed) coup were not "The People". For a very close example, you can read about the failed 1981 Spanish coup d'Eta

Using a third-party domain means you're already blocked in most cases involving adblockers and non-standard CDNs.

In some countries (eg France), there are exemptions for tracking purposes if the tracking is done only to the benefit of the site's editor.
