Not if the admins of an instance want to maintain their echo chamber by shepherding discussions towards extremist viewpoints.

Wanted to put Proton VPN on my Steam Deck, so it's quite frustrating that even a distribution with millions of users doesn't have a version of the program released for it, given that the alternative methods of using it don't allow for easy server switching.
Also have to make sure that the public WiFi network one's device is connected to doesn't block VPN connections, as was the case at at least one Walmart I tried using the WiFi at.
Crazy that so many of them are still operating in Russia...
And Lidl and IKEA for some variety.
I'd hardly count something like a simple Solitaire clone app that could be otherwise played for free as a full game release... In terms of actual games, I'd much rather support mobile ports that can be bought for a one time price tag than those that are locked behind a subscription in perpetuity.
The worst culprits though are the EAs and Paradoxes of the world that sell dozens of DLCs for games that cumulatively cost far more than the base game itself.
After narrowing down the "high velocity" tower fan options on Amazon two years ago to two options that seemed to have the best reviews, I ended up going with the "Dreo Pilot Pro", ordering two and for some reason being sent three. Anecdotal experience of course, and their use has been largely limited to the summer, but they seem to work a bit better than the Lasko fans they replaced without being distinctly louder. Specific settings probably depend on the exact model one chooses, but the ones I got have nine speed options.
All states except Maine and Nebraska tally votes cast statewide and allocate all electoral votes from that state to the winner. Specific concentrations of voters in those states aren't factored into the allocation.
Legislation like that might happen in places like the EU, but in the US at least, unless lobbying rules are amended, consumers stand next to no chance against the commercial interests of advertisers.
If you're the one paying for internet access, you should also have the right to determine the content that you're paying to have access to. While something like pi hole could be used to metaphorically take down most of the billboards without impacting the ground below it, even everyday users should be informed about the data advertisers are getting from them, whether it is anonymized or not. Hiding an important setting about data sharing near the bottom of a page in settings doesn't help anyone but the advertisers.
While I'm no fan of Epic Games for bribing companies to keep games off of Steam for a year or more, Valve's market dominance in PC game sales isn't a good thing for developers or consumers.
