The airlines do fine; they sell miles/points to banks who actually have money. Almost all US carriers are worth little or negative but their rewards programs have large valuations.
If you pay your bills in full and don't pay interest you are beating the system, and it is "OMG free flights"/hotels/cash. You do give away tons of purchase info but you're giving that away anyway unless you're using cash.
I haven't paid for a plane ticket since 2012. Made a huge hobby of credit card churning. Probably flew 200k miles on them. Otherwise I'd be skiplagging as the next best option.
Yeah, looks like probably the app for privacy.com, the website was mentioned above. Thanks!
Ah, my bad. Just search the name (Stromberg, June 2026) and date of the primary research paper the graph came from, I scrolled through it until I found the graph in question.

More to the point though, this is the fundamental lesson many people who say they went to business school or are IT experts are apparently now learning; if it's not free and open source you can't depend on it staying that way and the last 10 years has been a sprint to enshittify. Why someone in IT would base their entire storage and archive practice on the assumption a paid service or grant will remain free through grants, when there is no money to go around to pivot the org is naive at best. I see these as the same type who will rail against inequality, fascism, etc. and then be on Twitter and Facebook. The nobler aspects of man cannot coexist alongside boundless greed and fascism. Move early or be prepared to "be shocked" when structural inevitability comes.
Libre Office and countless other options are out there, just waiting to be adopted. The cells have been made very comfortable by our jailers, but the keys are right there if you want freedom.
Wait a minute, you mean people will just say things for money they don't believe?
"and it looks like it was a .357 magnum bullet, interesting markings on the shells, appear they may have been sourced from a European supplier."
