Why would they cater to you when they can cater to people with lesser expectations and freer, larger-in-aggregate wallets?

Is that a serious question? If so: because at some point a larger, but highly competitive market promises much less profit than a smaller one that is completely untapped.

Creative ways to be greedy, and creativity, are worlds apart... they might even be in different universes.

"What impressed my most was their ability to think on their feet and their integrity. Why, I'm pretty sure they'd almost never work for a liar, or someone who cares much about gossip one way or the other. Though it surprises me you met them at a dinner party; X usually doesn't have much time or love for sniffing butts. Anyway, why do you ask?"

I doubt readers have anything to do with hellbanning. You can have plenty of karma and still get hellbanned which clearly implies arbitrary moderator action. (But of course, when bringing that up one gets to read the rationalizations for such cowardly abuses of power, which is a learning experience, too... and not one of minor importance)
Likewise, can somone email me when Chrome stops cutting corners? When developing, out off FF, Opera and Chrome, Firefox is the most consistent and asthetically pleasing. Yes, Chrome is usually the fastest when it comes to raw speed, but as long as it is cutting corners (for example, try rescaling an .svg with javascript, or make a gradient that extends over a few thousand pixels, and see how blocky both become), it's really comparing apples and oranges.
