Oh my God, the sheer amount of work that goes into just being allowed to pay insane amounts of money to these places! [You’re right, I do believe it, but academia is so broken across continents, in entirely different ways, that it still blows my mind a little every time I encounter a new one]

It sort of makes sense, it is a business after all and they want to get as much information about customers as they can. It's easy for me at Brown to be snobbish about it. I think at every place the academics would gladly yeet this stuff into the sun, while the business side goes full Col. Jessup.

Needless to say, I got kid to create an alt account that is used for all these. Kid checks about once a week and perfunctorily clicks on all the links in all the messages, closes tabs, and gets on with life. Two can play this game.
