Thats a fair assumption. I think it might've just taken longer, especially if the ad-supported tier was there quickly too, or even as an option from the start.

I mean the very first year or two. As I understand they were burning money anyway, but it's too late now.

YouTube messed up by not being a paid only service first and later offering an advertisement supported free tier. That way around, they'd be celebrated.

Altering the deal eh, at least they take smaller steps.

When did the Zuck start to look like the most decent person?

Proton will be ready by then.

Even if it was free and ad-free I wouldn't want it.

Also layoffs temporarily raise the stock price, it's probably more costly in the long run… but who cares as long as the numbers go up for a bit and everyone gets bonuses.

That planet was clearly a particle not a wave.

This isn't even really normal entshitification, they added videos and some music cheap Spotify knockoff to their fast delivery flat rate. Nobody asked them to.

Then they slowly raised the price, essentially locking everyone that just wanted free fast delivery into a video streaming service and kept increasing the price.

They did this to force existing subscribers into their "new" business idea of a video streaming service, when they couldn't yet compete with the competition back then. Good news for them, their competitors are shit now.

Now they can include advertisements in it too and add more expensive advertisement free tiers. Essentially increasing the price again, but hiding it so people can't ask for subscription fees back in Europe.

Do they really think most people have forgotten they just wanted a fast delivery flat rate? They will never offer their delivery flat rate without video and all that stuff again, only if a legislature would force them.

AdGuard Pro on iOS is decent, but no where nearly as good as uBlock.

All because Amongus sold so many times…

It's almost funny how absolutely oblivious people like him are to their actions. Even if there wasn't a camera… he probably really thinks women are into this kind of harassment.

This goes right into my spreadsheet of examples how winning at capitalism does not require much intelligence or foresight. In fact, too much of either hurts your chances.

Nice timing, since the first remotely substantial upgraded iPhone in the past years just released. Probably just a coincidence.

Hasn't it been years since they figured out more lanes make it worse, not better? Well at least some profits were made…

They altered the deal, they will alter the deal further.

Jeez her whole hand, a finger should be enough.
