It's not that it's a physical object, it's that LOTR is particularly difficult to read, full of long-winded descriptions and chapters where not much happens.
So these communities attract a lot of people who like the IDEA of the lord of the rings, but aren't really interested in the works themselves.
It's yet another example of where some gatekeeping would be a good idea.
Applying for an unpaid internship is not "making a contract".
If companies have the right to make unpaid internships, we have the right to exploit them for doing so. Especially when so many unpaid internships are exploitative. This goes doubly so when they are combined with scammy government or educational services (like bullshit "work placement" programs which are mainly there to get free labour).
You're making it sound like these people signed up for these internships, accepted them, then turned around and went "nah fuck you" after signing a contract and after the company had turned down everyone else. You're also making it sound like unpaid internships are just a purely neutral system where there is no power imbalance, people aren't pressured into them for bulshit "it will help your career" reasons, and everything corporations do involving them is moral and above board. That could not be further from the truth.
Declining an offer after an interview is well within our rights, for a job or an internship, paid or unpaid, and we are not "unfairly" slighting a company for turning them down, even if we never intended to take the job in the first place. That's part of how the interview process works. Companies understand that they do interviews at their own risk and their own expense, and they should factor that in as part of their expansion (if a new job is required) or if they are replacing someone (usually for greedy reasons, like the old person left because they were being treated badly). We do not owe a company ANYTHING for being "generous" enough to offer us an interview and we owe them nothing for agreeing to participate in one - that's already factored in to the fact that our work will generally be more profitable for them than for us (otherwise they wouldn't have offered the job in the first place). It's simple economics which you don't seem to understand.
By your logic, if I walk into a store to look at some products, get into a chat with a cashier about a particular product, then leave for whatever reason without buying anything, then I have somehow unfairly wasted the stores time or somehow "owe them" a sale. That's not how any of this works.
Your position reminds me of the absolute worst that conservatism has to offer. Pro-corporate ass-licking hidden behind a thin veneer of "liberty" and "freedom". How does that boot taste?
