Looping really isn't a benefit of them, it's just something other platforms do, so they did too. Shorts are meant for people with adhd attention spans who doom scroll for hours at a time not even completing more than a small fraction of the shorts they doom scroll past. Shorts are usually pretty obnoxious because they literally have about 1 second to catch the attention of an adhd doom scroller before they scroll past to the next. I really wish youtube would just give a PERMANENT turn off shorts filter. I know they have a setting on the web version to show fewer shorts for some period of time, like maybe a month, but this doesn't apply on TV streaming and especially mobile where they seem to prefer to shove shorts in your face.

It's caused by people who try and run an AirBnB empire with multiple properties, and there is no way they can reasonably go to each property to clean after every stay, so they hire management companies or cleaning services to do it for them and try to hand off the cost as "cleaning fees" instead of building the costs of running their business into the bottom line nightly cost. AirBnB was supposed to be for people who had an extra bedroom they would rent out and you know actually be like a BnB, or maybe an unused mother in law suite, or maybe a rental property that is currently vacant and you want to fill it with short term stays till you can get a full time resident in it. It wasn't designed for investors to snap up a dozen properties in the area and list them all on AirBnB as full time short term stays.

AirBnb should just outright ban "cleaning fees". Build the cost of your operations of the property into the nightly stay cost like hotels do. Most hotels don't nickel and dime your receipt at the end of a standard stay at most you might see regional accommodation taxes or fees line itemed. "House rules" regarding usage of amenities, cleaning required at the end of stay, etc should be required to be fully stated in the listing.

Are you really going to put laws into place mandating that companies keep game servers online, maintained and patched till infinity? Perhaps what you can mandate is that games will continue to function without contact with the mother ship. That games have viable offline single player and or peer to peer multi-player modes that will not rely on companies keeping infrastructure running into infinity

I wouldn't call AM radio a waste of spectrum. There isn't much else you're going to do with approx 1mhz of bandwidth in that low of a frequency that is actually more useful than AM broadcasting. Yes the content on a lot of AM stations is absolute garbage, but the tech can still be useful. If we ever did get into a SHTF situation you can easily build a crystal radio out of about 5 parts and some wire if it REALLY came down to that.
