The headline is a bit overdramatic. Google hasn't pulled uBlock Origin off its extension webstore. Rather, it's switching from Manifest v2 to Manifest v3, which won't support features the current version of uBlock Origin needs to work. We've known this was in the process of happening for months. It's a good reminder of what's coming eventually (namely, the fact v2 extensions will be entirely disabled by Chrome soon), but this is nothing new.

I was born in the late 90s but didn't get high speed internet (had dial-up ethernet growing up), wifi, or cable until the mid- to late-2000s.
To be fair, I've met a quite a number of millennials who don't know what internet safety is, either. Some barely know how their magic typing box (read: computer) works.

So how many people are below the poverty line?
You usually get BOGO for half price in my experience.
Not necessarily. In my area, most stores actually require that you get two. Publix is the exception.
Only one or two stores on grocery day, but I saw her cut a bill in half with coupons.
I used to work in a grocery store (not Publix). I once saw someone use so many coupons that the store owed her money. I have never seen that happen since. It blew my mind at the time that that even happened. It still kinda does.
I know a lot of people at my local Publix shop there primarily for the BOGOs. In my region, you don't actually need to get two. The product just rings up as half price at the register. (Apparently, in some regions, you actually need to get two for the BOGO to work. That's not the case in my region, though.)
That's not what they asked for in the slightest.
Not to be outdone by the classic Thomas the Tank Engine character skin.
Reddit is not a great replacement for Discord and its live chat features IMO.
I never directly paid for Reddit Gold (in the sense that I had a subscription to it), but I definitely gilded others' comments a lot.
So... a Reddit community with an exclusive Discord server?
You're not wrong about the high switching cost.
Switching from Chrome to Vivaldi (because of Chrome's whole FLoC thing) to Brave (because I didn't like Vivaldi's layout) to Firefox (because of Brave's whole thing) was a pain.
And I don't mean as a whole. Taking the time each time to change from one browser to another was always a pain. Transferring bookmarks and passwords was easy (Chrome and Firefox are at least compatible in that regard), but transferring extension settings was a whole different beast.
Some extensions had cloud sync support. Others had local export support. Some didn't have either kind, and I'd have to manually copy the settings from one browser over to the other. And that's not even getting into finding replacements for the Chrome-exclusive extensions (of which there were only a few, thankfully).
