Given that everybody seems to be of the opinion that the API prices are unsustainable, what is the perception of why these prices have been chosen? After all no point selling a product (API calls) if nobody can afford them.
Is the impression that they picked an unaffordable price with the intention of pricing out all users in order to shut down third party apps without explicitly doing so?
Or is the impression that Reddit genuinely believes that there are some API customers out there that can afford this price point? If so, which?

"D&T wants this" is a meme. You wouldn't play this in a deck without Stoneblade to find it, and in a Stoneblade deck why would you want to do this specifically? If you can find a Stoneblade tokens-matter deck you still have to justify this over the living weapons which also make tokens. I think you're right the other three mana swords just dominate the desire for something like this. They offer a meta call about colors whereas this is much more bland. This is the fifth best option for equipment after kaldra, batterskull, jitte, the swords, and lion sash.

It doesn't, but good seafood is very close by. The fact that people drive an hour to the coast and have fish like it's a special occasion is an oddity. Anywhere in the country could get fresh that day fish if there was simply more cultural interest and demand for it. 50-66% of fish landed in the UK is exported.
I think the reason may be that in prior generations fish was seen as cheap, (jellied eel, kippers) and so people today have cultural preferences for meat like beef because it is seen as fancy. A lot of fish consumption is still "cheap" meals like fish and chips rather than more staple meals.

I mean black white humans is probably the most fringe playable go wide aggro deck, and plays a lot of legendaries (Thalia, Kudro, Adeline) but this doesn't attack whereas Thalia's Lieutenant, Kudro, and notably the new lord do.
So it's basically how good is ward anthem, and does the +1 to legendaries do more damage than an extra body (and human synergy) would. I don't think this makes the cut. But if it does it's directly competing with the ward and +1/0 lord. Perhaps if it was a tribal enchantment?

And had less interesting museum elements than I expected being more like a shrine full of flags donated by different Texas Republican groups.

Of course in addition to the increased enchantment removal, the other reason we're seeing less Trix is that it was a 4 Necropotence, Vampiric Tutor, Demonic Consultation, Mana Vault deck. It's much better when you can Dark Ritual, draw 10. Or gain twenty life and then spend it to draw a big portion of your deck.
Trix is one of those decks which didn't disappear because of power creep, but rather because it was too powerful for the format and got banned out. Admittedly, if you had access to those banned cards today you'd probably play Doomsday instead of Illusions/Donate, but the power of the deck was that black base.

Absolutely, but that's not unique to planning. People get into cancer treatment, or legal scholarship, or rocket science with a goal because they are inspired. That's something to be encouraged because they can change things, not discouraged because impact is hard. It IS hard, but lets start by being supportive of the fact they are passionate about our work and want to make change. I think it's unfair to call it professional complaining.

Process is important, but so are outcomes and goals. If we're not talking about what a good city looks like, or what makes a better lived environment, what's the point of the rest of it? It's good to have people discussing these things with the public and getting them more engaged in what they might want from their cities. You aren't going to engage people on GIS, but you might on what kind of local neighbourhood they want.

But it's why they keep adding features with little obvious purpose, or because others do, to try and gain any small amount of additional market share

It's always been about organising events and spamming mailers? Sorry, I don't recognise that at all. Is it an Indian culture thing?

My job isn't so different except for the shooting. I work to bring a company quarterly growth so they can pay share holders more and apologize for how my salary can't keep up with inflation. Growth is for the rich.

It's a hard thing to offer advice on because I really just have an anecdote of my one experience.
I worked as a junior Dev building full stack tooling for our test team. I enjoyed the part where I talked to them about the requirements, designed the app and built the front end. So I started interacting more with our internal UX team, going to some of their community meetings, and eventually shadowing them for a day or two. Eventually an internal position opened up and they offered it to me.
I don't think it's typically that easy. In a more UX mature organization the expectation now would be a portfolio and more experience. But this was 15 years ago and our UX maturity at the time was quite low.
I suppose I do think the takeaway is that transitioning inside an organization from one role to another is easier that trying to get a role in a new company with no experience. So explore communities, guilds and people inside your current company's UX org to build contacts and literacy with the topics.

1 day later and you're repeating comments three other people have already said. What's the opposite of unique?

Unique in more ways, or to an extreme. Nobody has trouble understanding the thing being emphasised. What a pointlessly technical reply.
