It's particularly bad to do this when you're knowledgeable and (let's assume) correct on a topic, because then the bad parts of your comment (such as personal attacks) end up discrediting the truth. That doesn't help anyone. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...

And I could argue that lower prices implies money is made somewhere else. Like how Cloudflare infested half the internet with their free MITM.

But, ye, I should chill a bit on topics like these. I have hard time not ending up in a 'Google etc. is coming for me' rant.
