gollark: I suspect you're ridiculously overgeneralizing and/or, er, what's the word, patronising? a bunch of people.
gollark: "Benefit to society" is vague and seems to mostly just work as a bludgeon to complain about things which don't have some obvious and Morally Pure™ justification to exist.

gollark: Sure?
