If you give me cash, I'm probably just going to be boring and invest it.

Some people rarely prioritize fun things. Gift cards force them to.

Smart studios will keep their writers for the main NPCs and use AI for the random filler NPCs that wander around cities and the like. We'll see how many studios are smart I guess.

Because users value usability over privacy.

The major thing that make Mastodon unusable is lack of users. That and lack of algorithmic feeds.

That's a good point. The original question was why would someone pick blenny Bluesky over mastodon? You just hit the nail on the head.

But only if the refund window has passed.

Everyone pays for not using nuclear too, a thousand fold more so.

Today's equivalent of a village is living very close to at least one set of competent grandparents and having at least 2–3 close friends with kids around the same age who you can call up and drop off your kids at a moment's notice.

And before someone jumps in.. Yes, Mozilla Corporation is technically for profit, but it's 100% owned by the non-profit Mozilla Foundation.

Percentage wise, I'm sure support is very high. But for a petition like this, I'd be shocked if even 0.01% percent of people have even heard of it.

Personally, I support the petition (obviously) and wish it could have succeeded. But even I think that in the grand scheme of all the problems in the world, this is very far down my wishlist.
