  • That’s called survivor bias mate.

    So you do me a favour and grow the fuck yo up you clown.

    Edit: Survivorship bias or survival bias is the logical error of concentrating on entities that passed a selection process while overlooking those that did not.

  • What a take. I would hardly describe that persons comment as bootlicking. Like sure they absolutely should not be able to amass such a fortune and think they can play Odin my redistribution in a way they see fit, but come on. Perhaps you could go ‘bellow’ your nonsense elsewhere.

  • I too miss the days of CDs.

    There was even a time when Music Zone (store in the UK) would let you return cds. Well it was free reign to buy them, copy them and then return the original.

    I recall having a printer that could print the album art on them.

    Or even recording from the radio on to tape or mini disc. And even Smash Hits for lyrics.

    You’re right, relationships with music were different than they are now.

    I can’t lie though some things are better now. Take Apple Classical for instance. I can listen to the music entire collection of classical music by opening an app. It’s amazing.

  • I do use ublock on my pc but still see some ads.

    On my phone in iOS but I use NextDNS which gets rid of a lot of ads. So much so that if I search for X and you get the shopping results I have to turn off NextDNS to be able to follow that link.

    But I still see ads.

  • Check this, I worked at Apple on the bar for 3 years and every year we would wear blue for most the year, red for Christmas and get this, green for Earth day.

    So they would ship shirts around the world every year for these. You could use your old ones but they always gave more.

    I brought it up to a manager that the green one is laughable as we are celebrating earth day by shipping green shirts around. I’m pretty sure they stopped it now but it always struck me as insane.

    I also, had some discussions about how well we got treated in the UK but my American counterparts not so much and my Asian counterparts even less, but I always got the we don’t control the Foxconn stuff etc.

    It’s all words really and their bottom line is making money.

  • Isn’t it a waste of time trying these scams on lemmy.

    I could be wrong here but I would argue the vast majority of users are somewhat tech proficient since it’s not reached mass adoption and the user base is well, just us nerds?

  • I believe I said if I paid for premium they would still be selling my data. Premium doesn’t come with ads ergo they don’t need to personalise ads they’re not going to serve me.

    Edit: I just reread my OC and concede I worded it poorly.
