Your advice assumes his comments will be a deal-breaker for his candidacy. I think that’s optimistic.

Pollinators that naturally exist in the environment will do their thing. They are gathering food from the blooms and the transfer of pollen is a happy co-incidence. They are not being bred or compelled to do this, in contrast to animals who are being subjected to animal agriculture.

Exploitation exists when pollinators are bred and artificially introduced for the purpose of pollination. They are often non-native species that compete with native pollinators.

But yes, I hand pollinate a lot of things to keep help the pollination rates, most notably squashes which have a pretty short window. Many other crops I grow (tomatoes, corn) are wind pollinated or don’t need pollination at all (greens, potatoes).

To answer one part of your question, the limit is on queries per minute, not the number of users. That would be harder to control. I don’t think I would use an app that stopped working because it ran out of queries.
