The attack on the few remaining services that the "every person" openly benefits from is so disheartening.

Not the save structure for org, but this feeling made be remember The Consumerist in it's heyday and when it was bought and silenced effectively... you know kids, the internet used to be a thing that actually helped and supported us without the ready acceptance of 51% "hallucinations" in information. It was actual people, in small, quiet corners, that didn't demand subscriptions and micro transactions at every turn. It wasn't that long ago.

Used to be, "the tragedy of the commons" didn't quite so literally mean an attack on the common resources.
