That said, if you pay more up-front for something like a Brother laser printer, it should last you a lot longer and be on the order of 10x cheaper per page. People see Instant Ink as “cheap” because they’ve probably never tried the much cheaper alternative, and they see it as “convenient” because they’ve never had a printer that lasts several thousand prints without a cartridge change. It’s really sad seeing so many people who can afford the upfront cost of a laser printer falling for this scam so often.

Worth noting, however, that there are also rules on using one’s user page as a promotional piece. It’s much more loose obviously than the criteria for what goes in an article, but you absolutely will get smacked if you use your user page exclusively for advertising.

And anyone would complain even more if they’re paying much more and getting less.

I would actually think that the 9% they cut off would be more likely than the 91% to be using Reddit.

Your daily reminder that by paying for streaming services, you’re receiving a worse product than the alternative.

I don’t know what makes you think this would be a “free tier”; it’d just in all likelihood be an even more enshittified, slightly-less-money-flushed-down-the-toilet-for-an-inferior-product tier. https://archive.ph/mwfWY

Oh, cool, it’s MB/FC, which is based on US-centric left–right ratings that ignore the fact that the US political center is right-wing among developed countries. Nice day to block a bot.

Naturally develop an understanding of where different news sources land instead of letting an inherently biased left–right ranking system pigeonhole them for you.
