I can say, at least in government, that open source is almost entirely used as a cost-saving measure, but it's implemented so poorly (by the time a piece of software makes it through the proper channels for verification, it's already several major releases behind. Which explains why CentOS is still so prevalent) that the general opinion becomes "open-source is just a cheap substitute for a superior commercial product."

The second a platform becomes a viable avenue for advertisement is when it stops being viable for any kind of quality.

Not that AI does a lot good at that, anyway.

But sometimes I have mildly inconveniencing experiences with the postal service in my extremely rural town that require me to navigate my extremely rural town's nearly non-existent public services so we should absolutely surrender complete control to Amazon

My wife loves the shopping ads and always complains when the Pi-Hole blocks them.

Thankfully (weird to say), the current political climate has her worried about being tracked online and she's finally opening up to the idea of proper privacy.
