Honestly this is a great point. A lot of these discussions can be summed up as “what is your definition of useful?”

A gamer, a retail investor, and a backend developer (permit the one-dimensional characters) have very different ideas of what is useful/not useful.

Are you honestly arguing that Wikipedia or Google Maps can be reasonably argued to be not useful depending on the user?
Ease off the throttle a bit man, I'm not sure what the hostility is about.

Of course I don't think that, like I said that was a very one-dimensional example. Of course many things work well for many people. But I imagine different professionals have very different idea of what constitutes "useful" on the internet.

I guess I just poorly communicated my point, it's whatever. Not like I'm dying on this hill here.
