Maybe sometimes, especially among the bigger and more infamously privacy-invasive sites.
A lot of the time, though, it’s just that it’s the easiest way to write a website. Particularly if you’re using modern frameworks, you have to go quite a way out of your way to send static HTML that works well without JS enabled.

You mean like the Jewish Australians arrested today for standing up against the Israeli government’s ongoing genocide?
- Comment on Protesters arrested at Brisbane pro-Palestine rally featuring banned phrase 3 weeks ago:
I thought this was, yet again, a shit article on the subject from the ABC. A total failure to provide context to explain the ongoing genocide and our government’s support of the genocidal regime that leads to local protests having a very direct, real purpose. Literally no attempt to explain the meaning of the phrase, no contextualising the use of the term “hate speech”. Not even scare quotes around that term.
It’s quite telling that there’s no by-line on the article.
Here’s a better article. It doesn’t go as far as I would like in contextualising it properly, it but it at least does the bare minimum necessary for journalistic integrity.
Also, side note: according to a Facebook post/video by Michael West Media (but not any proper article from them that I could find), those arrested included Jewish Australians.

Sorry but I don’t trust that infographic. Over 50% in Australia? Try more like 15. If it got Australia so badly wrong, how accurate are other countries?

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 1 month 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 2 months 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 2 months 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? 2 months 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.
