They're great for doing phone stuff without pulling your phone out of your pocket and unlocking it. I can check if a notification is important, get GPS directions, snooze alarms, get OTP/2FA codes, or check the weather. None of it it is critical but it's collectively a quality of life improvement.

I wonder if their real intent is to gather training data on which parts of papers are considered important by readers, and which topics are related to each other.

This is probably an extension of their hostility to mp3s. They wanted to force people away from downloaded or ripped content and toward their own store.

What are the standards for plastic-free? I suspect almost every piece of clothing with zippers is using nylon thread and backing, as well as plastic materials tags.

And the F-15's design slogan was "Not a pound for air to ground". Guess what it's being used for now?

I was stuck behind a big RV recently who was driving part way over the center line most of the time. I eventually realized he was trying to avoid clipping all the low branches along the edge of the road.

Search engines refer people to those old threads. Users who care enough and are tech savvy enough to delete their post histories are more likely to have made higher quality comments in the past answering tech support questions, reviewing products, etc. Those are the old threads that appear in search results and potentially draw in new users.

One thing it's still useful for is getting user reviews that actually tell you if a product is junk or has recently been replaced with an inferior version. Store sites and review pages make it too easy for companies to get negative reviews hidden.

The solution to social media companies behaving badly once they have users locked in may not be to lock yourself into another unprofitable company's closed ecosystem that's temporarily free.
