Fyre Festival guy went to prison.

Trevor Milton (of Nikola Corp, with the fake hydrogen trucks) was convicted of fraud and will likely spend some time in prison.

Could almost get the impression of anything if you cherry pick a single example.

Maybe Parler was deciding based on HTTP status codes returned from the Twilio API, or the presence of some expected "error" field in the response (if it's not there, consider it ok), and one side screwed up the handling of an unexpected case? Pure speculation.

Instead of having "if explicitly ok, proceed", they maybe had "unless it's an explicit negative response in an expected format (or a connectivity issue, timeout, etc.), proceed"?

Which would be a pretty dumb thing to do, but I've seen worse.

I find the macOS UX to be inferior compared to Windows. This is mostly a matter of habit, and what people are used to and how they expect things to behave.

Lot of self help content can also be more about feeling good while you're consuming it, than actual lasting change. Even if it's generally good advice. This guy made a video about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmLTLkCBSN8.

And it's natural to blame the consumers for any failure rather than the material ("you're just doing it wrong", "it's your fault you didn't apply it correctly", etc.), which makes selling mediocre and just plain weak content very easy.

Another aspect is the bragging rights in a community of other fans. It's like a status symbol.

>So how do you cater to thirsty dudes?

Self improvement and self help (real or just promised) are big ways to make money in this area.

>Notice how anything like this will always be male owned.

I don't think it makes a difference to the individual creators whether the middle-man profiting from this is male or female. The creators don't get any better outcome either way.
