Wow, in some ways this is better than the music apps on android.

When I visited California, there were a few people who were very excited about sharing the In N Out experience. I like a good hamburger, so I was looking forward to it. It was simultaneously disappointing that it was just McDonald's with a different name and off putting that its adherents think anything otherwise.

I mostly second Cree, especially the high CRI versions, which look a lot nicer than the regular versions. The ones I have had lasted a while. However, one went out prematurely not long ago, so they're not immune to poor quality. The generic brands I've bought though look like crap and some barely last two years.

It too is not all that much better than Walmart, Amazon, etc, but at least you keep anyone from dominating.

People here are saying they want to pay Amazon's competitors, and your argument is that they shouldn't do that because the workers should be starting their own Amazon competitors...

eBay is ok for a good portion of what Amazon sells, but it's not a perfect replacement. It's not all auctions now. There are lots of things you purchase outright and they ship very quickly. Watch out for people who resell Amazon items at a mark up though. It too is not all that much better than Walmart, Amazon, etc, but at least you keep anyone from dominating.

Otherwise, sometimes there are small sellers you can find for niche products.

Or when desktops didn't need 8 GB of RAM?

People have given lots of advice about picking up hobbies which I agree with. One thing I'd add is that you can make a list of movies and shows that you're genuinely interested in and try to stick with those. It gives you an outlet when you don't want to work on a hobby, it's more rewarding than passively consuming the crap that Netflix churns out, and when you're mostly watching high quality stuff, you might find the mass produced stuff becomes boring enough to you that you'll be driven to work on a hobby instead.

It seems likely that they will be putting in a system to monetarily award people.

Part of federation is the ability to choose whom you interact with. Email is federated and everyone accepts that you can block certain bad faith actors. The notion that federation implies that everyone can use it in whatever way they see fit doesn't mean that everyone needs to interact with each other. Facebook is a bad faith actor, and it can go play by itself.

When I see nonsense like this, I then distrust the entire YSK.

I am unusual in that my teeth are very tightly spaced. An interdental brush is probably great for a lot of people, and I imagine it's nicer than flossing if you can fit it between your teeth. I got a pretty basic $100 model. My only complaint is that it's loud.
