This would be accurate, if watering hole attacks[1] weren't a thing.

You're much more likely to die by buying an old car. You can't just take all advice at face value.

The term is not being used incorrectly.

The primary definition is now "underdeveloped countries" - because language changes over time.

It doesn't actually.

The problem with Pinterest is in image results - the extension does nothing for them.

Second, the extension no longer works properly as it hasn't been updated in years.

There are item reviews and seller reviews - they are entirely separate. In this situation I would definitely agree that it is too restrictive, because seller reviews are limited to 90 days after purchase.

You can't compare to revenue, that makes no sense.

Netflix's global net income in 2012 was apparently $17 million.

A $9 million fine is then over half of their annual income.
