Until it actually happens, I'm very cynical. It sounds great, but so many things sound great and then just never go anywhere. It doesn't mean anything at all if it doesn't actually happen.

The issue then is that all the investors that have already bought a ton of places can still leave them empty.

Haha true. That's kind of also self-inflicted.

Most of the visitors on those awful sites come from google and are people who don't have accounts.

It really depends on the content being served. Even with JS, a website is just a bunch of text on its own and should be pretty cheap to serve, but a website with just text and no media is out of the ordinary and very limiting. You expect wikis to have a fair few pictures and some sites even have legitimate reasons to be serving videos. The sites that autoplay some random bullshit video when you open them absolutely are bringing those costs on themselves, though.

Firefox can open PDFs and I'm not sure about the desktop versions, but the Android version is 117MB.

You can bet your ass they paid a lot of money to get their malware on your computer. It should be illegal to load consumer hardware with 3rd party bloatware that can't be removed.

The way it was explained to me was that regardless of gender, if you see someone in the woods, there might be other people nearby and they might pose a serious threat to you. Bears don't really gang up on people, so you should be okay if you keep your distance.

I don't know whether or not I agree with that risk assessment, but I can see that it comes from a logical standpoint.

That doesn't matter. If you buy a house and miss a sentence buried in page 2,784 of the agreement that says that the previous owner can arbitrarily decide to take the house back whenever they feel like it, that still won't hold up in court. Digital products need to work the same way.

That doesn't matter. You don't get to just unlitaterally revoke something people paid for because they didn't want to sign up for an account at a company that was unrelated to Minecraft when they bought the game. This should be illegal.
