(I hope that didn't come across as mean; it's really a reflection on how ashamed I am of my own insufferable youth.)

The greatest horror of growing up is the retrospective realization that you did it in full view of everyone else.

Like, at some point the question isn't whether it's worth the money, but whether it's worth your time, worth your disk space, worth cluttering up your Steam library, etc. There's essentially infinite free software out there – if price sensitivity were linear, we'd spend our lives downloading it all!

Presumably there's all sorts of complicating factors. On the one hand it's easier to throw away smaller amounts of money on something you're not sure about, but on the other, price influences perceived value. When you see something listed for crazily cheap, it's easy to assume it's dreck.

While I (as an outsider) found the whole thing interesting, I did raise my eyebrows a bit at that quote. That's the naïve assumption, but I'd be very surprised if the relationship really were exactly linear, or even close enough to linear to act under that assumption.

Previously, several of these companies, like Apple, IBM, and Disney, have paused advertising on X in response to antisemitic content. But antisemitism on X never slowed, sexual abuse imagery increased, and all of these companies quietly resumed advertising anyways.

Why isn't there a bigger Grok boycott?
Advertisers, politicians, and investors are still all-in on X, despite a sexual abuse crisis.

Regarding the "Let's pretend to be on holiday even when we're at home" concept: surely that's massively undercut by the 60%+ of the time the weather's shite?

Good point, that's another aspect of the kind of in-your-face imagery it tends towards

It's hard to capture in a single frame, but in this clip the stars in the flag on the right seem, if anything, to be arching down towards the red rather than up towards the yellow. In this freeze frame they're not even stars at all, and the hand holding the flag seems slightly mangled.
