The overlap between "cares enough about image quality to not be okay with jpeg" and "doesn't know to install a third party app" is probably too small for most manufacturers to care about.
I've been on a jury a couple of times myself. The first time was boring and was a frustrating case. The second time was disturbing but very interesting and definitely a satisfying experience.
I understand that not everyone wants to serve if their employer doesn't pay them; it can be a burden. Luckily mine does so I always look forward to summons in the hopes I get on a jury now.
Not sure how old the program was OP watched but they found one void in 2017 using cosmic rays. I'm guessing the pyramids are way too solid for ultrasound or x-ray to work.

Somebody dumped these two in a nearby park. My wife found them this morning while on a walk so of course we brought them home. They're both social, flea-free, and still had full bellies so it much have just happened. We've got a pretty full house already so if anyone happens to be in the socal area and is looking for a pair of happy little voids, let me know!
They recently laid off 90 employees out of 700 total. There's absolutely no way they're about to start paying the roughly 21,000 moderators that are active on a daily basis. The fact that they're actively vilifying moderators as spoiled children wanting everything for free (gotta love that irony) really slams the door on any possibility of treating them with respect, let alone actual compensation for actually running the damn place.
That's probably why YouTube has such a hair trigger on demonetizing, removing, and copyright striking videos.
You should also know that normal driving will raise the temperature and therefore the pressure of your tires. This means if you've been driving for a while and set your your pressure to exactly what that placard says, you're most likely going to have low pressure the next morning. Tire pressure should be set when cold. If that's not possible, add about 4 psi more when you're at the pump. The next morning you can use any cheap pressure gauge to check and let some air out to correct if necessary.
Reddit's paid workforce is (was) about 700 strong. They just laid off 90 people. There are about 21,000 moderators that are active on a daily basis; each of them moderating subs on topics they're passionate about and are very familiar with. It's gonna be fun to watch the results if every current mod quits and they actually have to provide paid moderation.
It was a combination of the absurd pricing for the third party apps and that the people most affected by this would be not only those with accessibility issues, but the mods who do damn near all the day-to-day operations of the site. Reddit relies on unpaid moderators to keep subs from turning into bot spamming grounds and the official app is more difficult to use for basic functions and doesn't support many of them at all.
So they were essentially giving the finger to their unpaid workforce and then claiming that the complainers were mad about no longer getting everything for free. It's a pretty hefty dose of hypocrisy.
My money's on the chairman not learning from the experience either; he still blamed you even though he was totally unable to find a way to actually blame you.
Having spent the last couple of decades in tech support I'd say you're being very generous with the estimate of ~20% of people being willing and able to read so they can understand something...
Besides being too cheap, it's honestly not even practical. There are about 21,000 active mods on any given day. Replacing even half of that number would increase their current staffing of ~700 by 15 fold which doesn't seem likely given they just laid off 90 of them. That doesn't even touch on the fact that those moderators would know nothing about the subs they're now supposed to be taking care of.
Nah, you're totally right, this is the beginning of the end. The blackout might not do anything short term but they're certainly going to shed enough mods that quality will slip. Once that happens people will be looking for alternatives and Reddit will end up on the scrap heap of "used to be great" like so many that came before.
In my area the biggest factor is multiple families purchasing homes together. When you're splitting the mortgage it's a lot more affordable.
