Agile&scrum are internally inconsistent methodologies which means that a bad faith actor (be it a smart but asshole engineer or clueless boss) can always point out you are doing something wrong (against the theory), regardless of the flavour/school you are using.
The saying goes that if you don't paid for it then you are the product. So I subscribed to YouTube Music family plan, thinking I won't be the product. But my wife's account will always return an error saying that she is in a different country or something. I tried to reach the support for help but never got any reply.

How do mitochondria evolve if they are just clones passed down from mothers? Or rather, how come there are not huge differences between populations of people whose mitochondria evolved in different direction but can never mix?
And the key to success was posting clickbait headlines to Hacker News?
"We don’t - directly. Instead we make deals with search engines and bookmark partners who's business model is exactly as described above. In other words, we too live off you data, but we outsource the hard lifting to our partners. "
