Surprise, surprise. Bank who wants infinite growth of stock prices tells companies to lower costs to be more competitive. Guess where that will come from?
Either quality or labor costs. It isn't coming from the CEO's pockets.
Citation needed. I know you're trying to be funny, but there's actually a lot of evidence going back to 2012 that internet pornography addiction is an actual issue for many people.

There are anecdotal reports of antisocial behavior, erectile dysfunction, etc in many small communities. I think yourbrainonporn.com is a good primer and rebootnation is a forum with people trying and failing to stop masterbating even to their own detriment. Make your own decision though.
Back in the day I used to check out civfanatics.com for mods. There were tons for Civ4:BTS that made it so much cooler. After playing that and then playing Civ5, I was incredibly disappointed. Civ6 is better, but not by much. I still go back to Civ4 when I need my "one more turn" fix.
Wow I haven't thought of destiny of an emperor in decades. One of my childhood friends had a copy and let me borrow it. It took forever but I managed to beat it. Box art was weird but cool.
I played Civilization for years. When Civ 5 came out, I was incredibly psyched. I specifically went to PAX one year just so I could get new information on the game. When I finally played it, it was the biggest disappointment of my gaming life. It just doesn't feel like any of the previous ones. Civ 6 is way better in almost every way.
I'm wary of Civ 7 though. How can they improve upon the game without adding minigames or breaking it into insane amounts of DLC eg. Stellaris? I probably won't pick it up until it's on a steam sale with all its DLC at 50% off or something stupid.
But what can be done? She's in a safe state for her kind, isn't she? It's not like they would suddenly realize what kind of person she is - they already know.
