Why do you assume this has anything to do with a supply/demand curve? Because that's the first thing you were taught in Econ 101 and it stuck?

In reality, most people aren't that sensitive to small changes in price. And the demand drop is not instant. It might take months or years. Execs make the decision to raise the price, they don't see the demand drop off immediately, and they instantly absolve themselves of any responsibility for the effects of their price increase. After all, there was hardly any demand drop in the quarter in which they made the change.

Look at say, Coca-Cola. You could easily double the price in five years and the price is negligible enough that most people won't even notice. (Oh wait, they did this.)

you really shouldn't be using variables with the same name but different capitalization in the same sections of code anyway.

It's a standard convention. Notice step #3 here: https://scottlilly.com/learn-c-by-building-a-simple-rpg-index/lesson-08-1-setting-properties-with-a-class-constructor/

Edit: Step #4 is a different standard convention that also applies here.

It turns out that the easiest thing to program isn't always the best application design.

Nope. Completely different.

Case is often used to distinguish scope. Lowercase is local while uppercase is public. "Name = name" is a pretty standard convention, especially in constructors.

There is a ubiquitous use case in programming. There is not in the file system.

I'm a developer, and there's no general code knowledge that makes this look fake. Json is pretty standard. Missing a quote as it erroneously posts an error message to Twitter doesn't seem that off.

If you're more familiar with ChatGPT, maybe you can find issues. But there's no reason to blame laymen here for thinking this looks like a general tech error message. It does.

Dude. Paragraphs.

And you'd likely be held prisoner as a trading chip for Russian murderers.

Oh, god. Is this the future for us now? We can no longer write properly because it looks too much like AI?

Just to give a concrete example, there are a couple blatantly political posts on !fediverse. Do they belong there? Absolutely not. But by the time I saw them days later, the damage was done and they were already taken care of by downvotes. Should I really mod remove a week old post with 50 downvotes? The discussion there about why it didn't belong was fine, and didn't need to be hidden further.

If votes are anonymous and federated, it's very easy for me to add or subtract 900 votes from whatever I want.

You should consider anything you do on social media to be public. Even if Facebook tries to claim that it's not.

There's a purpose in showing that you put a little bit of thought into the email, not only for courtesy, but also because spending that attention can help you spot errors.

Which it seems you're missing the point of.
