"In one week alone in the Vuhledar clash, the Ukrainian General Staff estimates, Russia lost at least 130 armored vehicles, including 36 tanks. That estimate has been supported by drone footage reviewed by independent military analysts and by accounts from Russian military bloggers, who are ardent supporters of the war but sharp critics of its conduct by top Russian commanders."

"Moscow’s Military Capabilities Are in Question After Failed Battle for Ukrainian City
A disastrous Russian assault on Vuhledar, viewed as an opening move in an expected spring offensive, has renewed doubts about Moscow’s ability to sustain a large-scale ground assault."

‘“No reasonable person would have thought that,” said the network’s politics editor at the time, Chris Stirewalt, referring to the allegation that Dominion rigged the election. Bill Sammon, Fox’s managing editor in Washington, is quoted as saying, “It’s remarkable how weak ratings make good journalists do bad things.”
Fox pushed out both journalists after the 2020 election.’

‘“This filing argues a fire hose of direct evidence of knowing falsity,” said RonNell Andersen Jones, a professor of law at the S.J. Quinney College of Law at the University of Utah. “It gives a powerful preview of one of the best-supported claims of actual malice we have seen in any major-media case.”’

“as Fox’s ratings fell sharply after the election and the president refused to concede, many of the network’s most popular hosts and shows began promoting outlandish claims of a far-reaching voter fraud conspiracy involving Dominion machines to deny Mr. Trump a second term.”

damn, these folks are *really* cynical… and they think we are all dumb as posts:
“Fox Stars Privately Expressed Disbelief About Election Fraud Claims. ‘Crazy Stuff.’
The comments, by Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and others, were released as part of a defamation suit against Fox News by Dominion Voter Systems.”

What is the expected revenue gain in wealthy user segments per KB of JS?
What is expected revenue loss per KB of JS in other segments?

So don't take the next JS bro sales pitch at face value; the odds that it's wrapping a deep wisdom and understanding -- rather than an embarrassing amount of libertarian I've-got-mine-jack-ism -- is vanishingly small.

So let's stop beating around the bush: the JS community sold lemons at a furious rate, are embarassed about the terrible consequences of their predictable (and predicted) actions -- as well they should be -- and want you to continue to pretend they knew what they were doing all along.
Friends, Occam's Razor suggests they did not.
