It doesn't though. They has been used for singular without knowing the gender for a long time.

I feel this is a false equivalency. Toys are easy, and you often know if the other person would like it or not, in which case you get them the toy, and not a gift card. The statment being made here is money vs gift cards, not money vs actual items.

The comparison is off. A better comparison would be:

"Here, kid. Here's 50 buck to go to this restaurant I think you'd like" "Why not get me a gift card? / Thanks, but I dont like that restaurant. Thankfully I can spent it in others, whereas I wouldn't be able to with a gift card".

I'm sorry, I don't know enough about the English language to recognise the difference. What would the phrase be in future tense?

What kind of phrasing is this? "Diablo 4 feature"? Saved you a click: they're talking about a transmog system that exists in many, many other games.

But according to the article 70% of the money they make from music is already going to record labels and publishers, so what exactly is Spotify supposed to do here to give more money to the artists?

The sun is still the sun in this comparison. Its not like "you" is the source of light here. The back of your eye is the ant, and the lens of your eye is the magnifying glass.

I use the Acer Predator Z35, curved widescreen. I'm very happy with it, but I've never tried a flat widescreen.
