I know Auckland lockdowns were longer and more difficult. But they are incorrect. They weren’t “the worst in the world”. Melbourne had the longest lockdowns in the world.

Auckland had an extra 3-4 months than the rest of the country (for a total of about 6, but Melbourne had basically 9 months.

Well you’ve been reading incorrect.

I live in NZ and was here all through covid. We had, outside Auckland, a total of 8 weeks lockdown, then some mild restrictions for a few weeks, then business as usual.

Places like Melbourne and the UK had over a year of restrictions and many more months of lockdown

NZ had relatively a very short lock down and were one of the few oecd countries that was back to regular life in 2020. Other than wearing masks in certain places you could go to restaurants, movies, regular shops etc.

Eventually there was another lock down, for most of the country it was much shorter. One town had to go longer though cause they kept having cases pop up.

Yes and no. Similar with apps, you can say “well if you’re not paying/seeing adds then we lose nothing by you not visiting”, but, depending on their growth stage, it’s very hard to grow and get investors without a sizable audience.

Say you’re a startup. If you have 10k people and you ignore ad blockers and people who don’t play subscriptions. Then you start preventing people with ad blockers and no subscriptions from your platform and it drops to 1k… You lose investment pulling power.

The effect is amplified, or much worse, if you actually require user generated content as well
