People suck. Alot. And they lie. Worth a commercial insurance policy and an extra client a month to cover the cost.

Why? Insurance company has a "duty to defend" against claims. Their check, your lawyer in all the usual senses.

I'm marginally curious, can you give a high level example of the industry? Meritocracy is rare, anymore.

Haven't seen it in a minute, but it definitely used to exist.

I would 100% both use and pay for it - forces me to put a bit more thought into phone trees, making me less likely to get lost in them.

It's stupid af.... Unless you have responsibly charged your phone through your multi-day backwoods hike and it saves your ass.

Wouldn't suggest it as a frontline defense, of course, but... I can see a use case that saves a life, or at least a limb.

Hand-curated categories -> lists etc.

Think back to what Yahoo originally was. Drill down through categories, subcats, etc. to find what you're looking for.

Worked for the time, but for a technical query today would be an absolute non-starter

Long term, that's a decent idea - Mastodon and related platforms generally have a function similar to that, and it saves me scripting "Retrieve post, edit post, replace with '.'"
