Not all knowledge is inherently useful; some knowledge may lack practical application, relevance, or purpose, especially within certain contexts or timeframes.

Not all knowledge has application, the human mind has bandwidth limitations (ignoring capacity), knowledge is contextually sensitive, and some knowledge is actively harmful (e.g. misinformation, distraction).

Doesn't matter if it was one, or all publishers. Always call out scummy practices.

I haven’t been happy about TF2 since they added hats and bullshit.

So since 2009? You haven't been happy with TF2 for over 15 years.

Wouldn't that be "are you DNA helicase, because I want you to unzip my genes?"

If the other person is the enzyme, then they are the unzipper.
