I guess they shouldn't have been vampires then, I guess. Who would have thought we had such a bloodsucker problem?

What's your point? The Private schooling/Oxbridge education is a marker of wealth.

What's going unsaid here is that for a while it was possible, because of a functioning welfare state, that an approximation of the fallback that rich people had was available to the rest of us povvos; this is the issue. It also applies to business as well as art too, to be fair. Rupert can found a business selling bespoke cat earrings or whatever and if it fails he has a fall back. If I try to run a business that's shit or doesn't make money and it fails and I default on my mortgage.

It's standard pearl clutching because the concentration of people who can afford to work in creative industries in the upper economic echelons of society is something worth complaining about because it matters and we're culturally poorer as a result.

Other than the ads, is there a compelling reason to?

Familiarity for one; it was a great Reddit client and it's a good Lemmy one too. I certainly made the shift to Lemmy a lot more frictionless.

It also has a sensible layout, decent customisation, the dev is (or was, at least) responsive to the users and it was a solution that 'just worked'.

I paid for ad free ages ago, moving from RIF and I hadn't looked back.

It hasn't been updated in a while though, so I'm playing with Thunder and it's been a pretty nice option as well. Plus, you know, FOSS and available on Droidify/F-Droid. It's far and away the best 'native' Lemmy clientnive used to date.

In this case they are analogous though, really.

Farmers are being asked to risk assess their land and install measures to prevent run-off reaching property and watercourses.

The best way to help prevent erosion is to plant trees. But farmers complained about that too when they forced policy u-turns because it would mean actually doing something to access grants.

"attack" is doing some very heavy lifting here.

How are these people brazillionaires and I'm schlepping away to not get my home taken off me by the bank? I can string a sentence together and do basic arithmetic, and I can count to twenty without taking off my shoes!

Have you paid for a service that uses AWS though? Youay never know if you've funded the big A.
