What they meant to say was "We didn't have the foresight to monetize these heavy users, so we will be doing that now. But first we'll create the problem..."

This is part of the reason why they chose the launch day

Oh you mean the unregulated, gambling industry?

Keep in mind, some of the "talented" people contributed to these issues. Some of them are to blame as well.

Won't matter. As soon as those alternatives get big enough, they'll either sell out or look for more ways to maximize profits. The Internet is wholely infected by corporations now. Just need better ways to beat them back somehow.

For me, I wouldn't say it's more enjoyable per se. I miss looking into interesting topics. However, I do find myself focusing on my business more which I guess is a bonus. But outside of that, it's very disappointing the enshitification of the Internet that's occurring.

Exactly. This logic can also be applied to fast food, hard labor, etc...

Of course, but the offer was prior to the issues coming out.

Unions, the bane of rich people that take advantage of their workers via positions of power.

That company is probably worth way more then that. Or at least could be. So if you're even remotely prideful, you probably think that's a slap in the face.

Always been part of the plan: de regulate, corner the market, profit.

Lol it's like going back in time. I remember the days when sites wouldn't support certain browsers because of differences in programming (accidental, if you will). Now, we've gone full circle and are intentionally blocking use of a site when not using a particular browser. Wouldn't this be considered monopolistic?

I mean, it's valid, if not for the incorrect reason. I personally fast past breakfast all the time , mainly because I'm not a huge fan of it. Otherwise, yeah...

I agree with the first point. Using our human bodies as an example when we get infected. It gets really warm. It's usually a technique used to kill bacteria among other defenses.

I don't personally believe it's some kind of "I got my peace for a brief moment and want more" thing. I just believe that we ramped up production after the COVID "recovery" period and we went back to business as usual at a rapid rate.

It's a tactic to pit us against each other rather then the proper people running to the bank.

This is also why most jobs should be unionized

I agree. This situation is a bit different, but my point was the general idea of price gouging of a product.

One thing I didn't like from Reddit, the elitism and gatekeeping posts from its users. OP, I'm right there with you.

Nothing wrong at all with charging for the main version to support development as long as it's not gouging. I don't think this is gouging in the slightest.

The people that make money off of it's monetization. I'll have to assume they'll have some sort of season pass.
