No negotiation is needed. As long as everyone agrees to follow everyone else (i.e. no one tries to overtake and you keep a constant gap with the car in front of you), then everything will naturally fall into place.
It's not just a matter of others getting butthurt. It's actively dangerous to be driving at a different speed from the rest of traffic, regardless of whether you're going faster or slower.
Not once have I had a usable voice mail UI. Forced to go through 10 seconds of menu between each message to delete and select the next one, and 90% of them are people just hanging up after realizing they hit voice mail. Then the few times I do get an important message, I have to replay the full message multiple times to transcribe the number I need to call. No seeking, no ending the playback after I've passed the bit I needed, often terrible audio. Why do you do this when you have my email?
The Q anon vibes probably come from the claims that a small group of powerful people taking advantage of their position to direct the world in an undesirable way.
I'd say that the main difference between the two is that the video you posted says "person X says they want to do Y", whereas QAnon is more like "person X secretly wants to do Y".
Wow, my parents had a Samsung and it also broke on the exact same part. No replacement parts available except from a third party seller and it was way too expensive to justify fixing.
When it came to email, we didn't care about the system becoming too centralized. They were all run by large companies that had the resources to keep things running for a long time, so no need to consider how long your email will survive. Most people didn't even know they had options. If someone you know made an aol email, then you also made an aol email. The content you receive is exactly the same regardless of where you sign up. No need to think about who federates with who, or how the instance gets moderated. Email is email.
So essentially, they set the party platform and everyone in the party follows that?
