The more people that offload their knowledge to the category that should be handled by networking experts, the higher the backlog for the networking experts. Which kind of supports OP's point.

Nearly everything humans do is natural. We have just made up clever ruses to hide the vulgarity of much of it and to dissuade ourselves that the disparity caused by the natural order has no chance to be solved.

So we're stopping the gratuitous kindness of strangers towards lower income workers so some other people don't "feel bad" now?

No, you're not. The community reads and respects the attached licensing.

My experience with this platform seems to be completely antithetical to most people's and this article's proposal. They just released Madden, meaning they've made a deal with EA. Clearly no one cared about exclusive games. Everyone in the sphere wants this to be a console without a console. Which it is, and better, because any screen. If the gaming media anti-hype is the downfall of this product, I and others, will be sorely disappointed. I hadn't gamed in years, because, being an adult, I couldn't justify a purchase of over $150 on a console purely for gaming, this was a no-brainer, especially during quarantine. And coming from catching up on Steam on a 5yr old Linux box with a mildly upgraded video card, it was easily worth it to play mainstream titles with no compatibility concerns. I was super skeptical at first, but have been won over by any-browser playability, and server-grade performance, with only mild bugs.

What if the button was to donate a certain (very small) amount? Perhaps incorporate an escrow account of some kind?

I'm pretty sure that isn't what machine-readable means, especially in this context. But this kind of obtuse reading seems like it would be exactly how the concern of the parent comment would come into being.
