You're seeing insufferable people who also happen to use Linux, as insufferable people also like to be early adopters so they can say they are different and therefore better.

There are plenty of super helpful people in the community, and Linux is well past the early adopter phase. The transition from Windows is smoother than it has ever been.

Because its so much better for kids to use dodgy free VPNs to access sketchy fringe porn sites than to just talk to them about healthy sex at a younger age.

500,000 people joining a mailing list would probably result in around 25,000 (5%) actually paying for a membership. This is still extremely impressive for a new party, but people really need to stop comparing the number to other party's paying memberships.

Is this a serious question? Crypto is inherently decentralised and anonymous, from the base technology of the blockchain.

Because he must have invested $400,000 of effort per month to get that return.

Oh no wait that's not possible, he stole that value from the employees of his company.

I also think a big part of content creator burnout is the 'everything is content' mindset. If you work in a factory or an office usually you can go home and not be at work any more. When hanging out with your friends or being with your family also becomes content and therefore part of your job, the mental toll clearly becomes unbearable.
