Sound advice, but if this article is any indication, corporate web2 now anticipates garbage. The junk presumably gets backfilled with their best attempt at quality data where it can be found. It true, it invites potential contributors to think carefully about their opsec.

The OS isn’t the reason anyone uses a computer, it’s the applications it can run.
When given two doors to choose from, desktop computing and mobile computing, most people aren't going to explore desktop alternatives to Windows. They're largely going to stick to mobile, with all the learned helplessness that entails.
I read that the machines are engineered to 'break' easily as a pretext to force cleaning. Supposedly McD's worry in a scenario with non-self-sabotaging units is that the worst franchisees would rarely clean, leading to customers getting sick, leading to brand risk worn solely by McD. You'd be better placed to determine the truth of that.
Advertisers can pay more to stay in the room than you will realistically pay to have them expelled.
It doesn't surprise me in the least that franchisees would stop selling ice cream, and claim the machine is out of order. It's by far the most rational response from their perspective. It also has the benefit of conditioning your customers not to expect ice cream. But that then begs the question: who owns the McDonald's experience, the experience deliverer or the brand owner?
AI filtering of Reddit isn't the way. The way is leaving the platform. This is beginning to remind me of the 'decrapify Windows' YT videos that offer 20-step multi-application guides for getting a tolerable experience, instead of explaining how to install Mac/Linux. Time spent on a rotten foundation is wasted.
Reddit will program new mod bots to deal with organic responses the advertiser doesn't consider constructive. That opens another revenue stream: charging advertisers for sub-specific bot tweaks.
The interesting question to me is, when does normie realize his sub has been co-opted to function as a focus group, and decide to look for a new forum.
People should consider using a double-blind scheme with cloud-connected managers.
The service you're setting a password for gets the actual credential, being two components , whereas the manager gets only
Consider the example of U})wJAL0}RhIr')Rgs{,&^>I3/ versus U})wJAL0}RhIr')Rgs{,&^>I3/based
It protects against password database compromise at least. Keyloggers, MITM, etc. are another matter.
I suspect a lot of users with silly warnings in their profile like OP described haven't bothered configuring their Upload/Download preferences. The tools for managing slot numbers and queue scheme (round robin v. FIFO) are all there.
'Socially responsible' is newspeak for corporate-controlled.
I question whether a lot of people even need sync.
Passwords in general don't change for long periods of time. Really the only rationale for doing so is confirmed or suspected compromise (two-factor processes make this rarer still). It doesn't strike me that an almost permanently static input merits regular synchronization.
The alternative is doing a one-off manual sync (copy and paste) between two local DBs, then locally moving one of them to the target device. Zero online connectivity has to dramatically reduce attack surface. Is five minutes' maintenance per year an unacceptable convenience penalty to pay?
