Being anticompetitive is far from the only way a company can be shitty.
Steam had to be sued by the Australian government into following the law regarding refunds for faulty products.
They have always been at the forefront of shitty gambling mechanics in video games, with their random loot boxes and tradeable skins.
And until recently, the hyper-consumerist FOKO-inducing structure of Steam sales was pretty awful.

I thought I heard that California had a law requiring cancelling be just as easy as signing up? Is that not the case? (Assuming the name of the gym is an indicator of the city it’s based in, and not the state or country.)
- Comment on Live: ABC calls Labor win in South Australian election 2 weeks ago:
Sitting at 30-4-0-0 now.
Not quite the 0 seats that some polls were reporting a month ago, but still a shockingly bad defeat for the Liberals and a major indictment on their continuing rightward shift since Abbott.

- Comment on [Video] Australian police seizes “Wanted - Netanyahu" sign saying it is antisemitic 5 weeks ago:
An event hosted by the jewish community intended to try to ease tensions and rebuild cohesion after a terrorist attack directed at them isn’t an appropriate one.
An event hosted by an explicitly-zionist (and therefore pro-genocide) organisation is always the appropriate place for protest against Israel’s genocide. No matter what they ostensibly claim the purpose of that event is.
- Comment on Can One Nation turn its polling hype into seats in parliament? History shows it will struggle 1 month ago:
Our compulsory and full preferential voting mean that apathy does not matter to anywhere near the same degree as in most other countries.

- Comment on Cul de sac politics: Have the Australian Greens hit a strategic dead-end? 1 month ago:
Then he, probably rightly criticises Mather for pushing too hard, then failing, for a pyrrhic victory in a political fight on the job
Does he? I don’t really read it as that at all. I read it as him suggesting Chandler-Mather was let down by the Greens as a whole, because while he took a strong stance on an important issue, the Greens as a whole, particularly in other states (claims Jono), were much softer on that issue in particular.
I think the fact is that the Greens can never win with a small-target, modest reform approach. The right-wing media in this country will always ensure they are perceived as extremist, and any attempt to appear otherwise will simply fail to meaningfully attract the target audience while alienating people who do want to see more radical change. So to win power they need to take strong stances that make people excited to vote for them.

Honestly your first picture could also be a good example to demonstrate ring species, which are a great countertexample to the “reproduce to produce fertile offspring” definition of species.
