Unemployment around the 2008 crisis peaked around 10%.

You're delusional if you think the 2008 recession remotely compares to the impact of the great depression. You just have 0 frame of reference to compare. I say that as part of the most impacted group: I was just getting out of college when that crashed and it killed my job opportunities.

    US citizen here. Stayed in many hotels. Never once tipped for housekeeping. I've tipped for lots of small extras, like bag service, valet, etc. I know it's a thing some people do, but it's certainly not standard or expected. Cleaning the room is part of the stay price.

    Steam's bans were (as far as I've seen) far more targeted at content that is a lot tougher to defend. It's a lot tougher to defend rape and incest content than just all porn and nsfw. Obviously it's all fantasy and fiction, but it's still more difficult.

    Itch.io went full into banning everything labeled nsfw, LGBTQ, violent, etc. The fact that Steam had a much more targeting impact implies to me that they used their stronger position to negotiate prior to the ban rather than itch.io that banned first and is now trying to walk that back.
