Doesn't look like it. It's not in my list of blocks. I can navigate to the community, but none of the posts are shown. It's just an empty feed.

I didn't know DayZ had PvE servers. I like to watch DayZ streamers sometimes, but I could never play it PvP. That kind of thing is too stressful for me. I might have to check out PvE.

I'm not sure I understand. As recently as a few years ago, it was common to find high quality long-form articles on just about any subject linked from your favorite subreddits/tweeters/etc. Now, it seems like the majority of "news" articles I come across are vapid, two paragraph, summaries of a Reddit post or Twitter thread, that don't anything substantive of their own. I mean, yeah you could find a lot of that 5 years ago too, but now it's hard to find anything else. It wasn't that long ago that we had newspapers and magazines, both online and offline, that were actually known for hard-hitting, in-depth journalism. Then they all got sold to companies like Meredith and Conde Nast and have become nothing but thinly veiled advertising. I guess my point is that it hasn't always been that way, and it doesn't have to be that way now.

For me, discovery is the entire reason to use streaming services. I have a ton of hard drive space, and know how to find anything I want to download. I have a fairly large music collection from before the days of streaming. But streaming services help me discover all kinds of things I'd likely never hear otherwise. They still suck, as in they're greedy as hell and the quality is mid, but I don't know what I'd do if I had to listen to the same stuff all the time.

Thank you for eloquently saying what I often struggle to convey. I'm saving this comment for later reference.

There will likely be no benefit for the employees or the users. For the PE firm, the goal is usually to pump up the value and resell or reenter the market, at a massive profit, in a few years. To do that, they'll have to make a lot of unpopular choices, such as layoffs and other cost cutting measures. If they're privately held, those choices have far less impact on the value of the company, since the stock market is heavily swayed by public perception.
