The problem is that they always want more. It’s not enough to make money. So the ads and intrusive garbage gets worse and worse until we reach an unusable nightmare.
TV shows have banner ads during the show. Everyone wants to send you notifications. Even cars are starting to have ads on their screens.
It’s exhausting.
Biden has done a better job than I expected, but he should clearly retire. I think this is a huge, and almost necessary opportunity for Democrats. Incumbents are way more likely to get reelected. Since Trump has pissed off too many people, and he’ll sabotage any other front runners for his party.
Wouldn’t it make sense to get someone younger and a little bolder in now for the Dema? They have a very strong likelihood to win this round, and then they’ll be the incumbents next term. We could finally replace some garbage supreme court members.
Charging for both a connection speed and a limit is ridiculous. The latter is obviously a cash grab, but paired with different tiers of speed just screams “regulate me”
Chris Christie is an idiot, but this is the first explanation that I’ve seen that makes any sense.
Trump is one of the dumbest beings on the planet. Egotistical delusions and tantrums are his M.O. This explanation lines up perfectly with that.
I’ve thought about this before, and you’re definitely right that games are technically cheaper when you factor in inflation. However, they sell to a much larger audience now, so it’s not like the major studios are starving. Even so, I would probably be fine with it, if it weren’t for the tendency to:
- include microtransactions, rather than achievements
- sell dlc that should have just been part of the game
- Release the same uninspired crap every year (call of duty, sports ball 2023, etc.)
- sell broken games
I’m guessing this one will be #4. Hoping to be wrong.
My mind boggles at this.
- Netflix was already charging per screen, so there really were never any free loaders.
- This represents a massive price jump for most users.
- Now if you want to use the service on the go, you basically can’t.
- There is a bunch of competition now
I just get so tired of everyone rolling over and taking whatever mega corporations dish out. I would have thought on a non-essential service would be easy to push back against. Clearly I was wrong. Now every other service will see this as an opportunity.
Sometimes I hate people.
