Your point is valid for clothing too.

Let's assume that 30% of all revenue is being cashed in the first 3 months. The rest of 70% is spread over the 94 years and 9 months of copyright remaining. The artist gets the thick of it in the first 3 months and then everything else it trickling down as crumbles.
Labels are greedy and can wait. An artist might not be able to wait that long, let alone still be alive 50 years from now.
The way they changed the design is clickbait of sorts.
People trained their muscle memory to click that area to load more of the story or comments. Now they click and yell in frustration.
That's a really shitty way of luring people. Shame on you, Dice!
My bad. So there's a pretty high chance, instead of outrageously high chance, then.
If John gets one a month, it means Jack, Jason and Jill would get none.
say there's 300M landlines in the US. 86M calls a year means 0.285 calls per year, per landline, on average. There's a high chance many people never receive one.
McDonalds sells billions of hamburgers every year but I'd hardly call them "good".
FTFY.
You still wouldn't fit.
I'm guessing both. At the same time. On top of a dozen other equally fattening products. For breakfast.
You wouldn't fit.
So, really, "brilliant" only if your plan is to be unable to get any sort of credit for the next 7-10 years.
You're saying it like it's a bad thing.
No, the proper one-word summary would be "Greed".
Universities are greedy because they'd shove as many poor souls as possible into a MA without caring whether there's too many of them, as long as they grab some cash from said poor souls (or the banks loaning them).
Banks are greedy because they love handing out that cash and then shaking said poor souls off their earnings, pushing them into life-long poverty.
You expect an 18 year old person to have the wisdom of a 40 year old. Breaking news: they don't. They should be explained why the choice they're about to make is risky, and what's expecting them if they move forward with it. I so far have heard of no bank or university doing such thing. It should be like this:
Poor Bastard (PB): "I wanna major in Philosophy!"
University (U): "Here's a study telling you that there's an overhead of people with MA in Philosophy - it's unlikely you'll ever be able to profess in that branch. Furthermore, we only have 15 seats available because we know more than that will land you in unemployment hell once you are done with us. Do you still want to do it?".
Bank (B): "You will need to pay the University 50K a year tuition and that means you will have to take a big loan from us and likely pay us 2K a month for the next 15 years. Here's a study telling you that 70% of people who currently pay us the loan and have a Philosophy MA don't profess in that area, and 50% are living in poverty. Do you still want to do it?".
If the PB ignores the U and the B and moves forward with it, then fine. It's an informed choice.
With me being unfamiliar with how things are happening in the States, I gotta ask: Is this true? Are future university students making an informed choice?
Here in my country, Universities offer a small number of subsidized seats (you're attending for free), based on your knowledge and high school scores. Say, Philosophy: 10 subsidized seats + 15 paid seats (because they estimate that's the amount of seats required to replace retiring Philosophy teachers). Tuitions are small enough to not overburden students. They're on average equivalent to 3 to 6 average monthly salaries per year, and you can split that tuition into 4 quarterly payouts. To give you an idea of how much that means, I can pay 2 average yearly tuitions for an IT university with one monthly IT salary right now.
We could even infer that this is some sort of cannibalism.
...per mile.

Not really. The E-11 was pretty damn good, and a DC-15A would have ripped through the entire school easily. Not to mention the police.
The plastoid armor, however, was shit. Too many known weak spots, unwieldy, horrible color choice. The only nice thing about it was the helmet, or rather its technical capabilities. Still, it was a couple magnitudes below the Mandalorian helmets.
But we digress.
