This is silly, but in some ways the design and flaws of major news and content sites is a topic more relevant/interesting to a discussion forum for hackers than ongoing environmental collapse is.

Sure, the latter is a much bigger deal and affects hackers as much as it affects all life on Earth.

But doctors talk about medicine and care. Teachers talk about education and learning. Hackers talk about design, UX, etc.

We should all be talking about ecosystem collapse. Yet it's not a thing we interact with every day (yet), whereas NY Times' paywall is.

Human brains are lousy at risk, it's true.

I mean, this is a forum filled with web developers...
