Quality Contributions Report for April 2023

This is the Quality Contributions Roundup. It showcases interesting and well-written comments and posts from the period covered. If you want to get an idea of what this community is about or how we want you to participate, look no further (except the rules maybe--those might be important too).

As a reminder, you can nominate Quality Contributions by hitting the report button and selecting the "Actually A Quality Contribution!" option. Additionally, links to all of the roundups can be found in the wiki of /r/theThread which can be found here. For a list of other great community content, see here.

These are mostly chronologically ordered, but I have in some cases tried to cluster comments by topic so if there is something you are looking for (or trying to avoid), this might be helpful. Here we go:

favoring the producer has the benefit of incentivizing more people to become producers. Which benefits everyone

The hypothetical really well coordinated cartel needed to ensure price discrimination and prevent shopping around in an attempt to defeat it would surely enact legal barriers to entry. The sorts who would form a cartel would also engage in regulatory capture.
