No doubt, and to tech folk like you and me, it's a tiny amount of money but in the nightmare situation of trying to rebuild after an abusive marriage, the price of natural vs. lab grown makes a difference.

Redditors I've seen: 1. They don't know what's going on with their favorite subreddit being taken offline. 2. They agree with the protest but couldn't care less if some person doesn't get free / cheap API. 3.
