  • I mean this is kinda bs. We had some really good movies released this year as well.

    Barbie - besides all the bitching on lemmy, it's actually a good movie

    Oppenheimer - Maybe an all time classic

    Spiderman Across the Multiverse - maybe one of the best superhero movies ever

    Super Mario Bros - Not my type of movie but a commercial hit

    Guardians of the Galaxy - Another really good superhero movie

    John Wick 4 - Super fun movie

    And that's just halfway through the year.

    Edit: and mission impossible this year too

  • I am saying you pay for something as long as you think it's worth it and as long as you think it's working and improving and then support an alternative when you don't. Things getting too expensive for their value has been a cornerstone to driving new innovation throughout history.

  • Here, since you have difficulty following, let me copy where the original thread started.

    The amount of downvotes on comments trying to help people not get price gouged and comments supporting these subscription price increases shows me just how many corporate shills are actually out there. No wonder these corps keep getting away with this bullshit.

    I am not the one who started the moral superiority, I just disagreed at being called a "corporate shill" before a bunch of insecure assholes started losing their shit.

    Maybe try having self awareness yourself before suggesting it to someone else.

  • We are in Lemmy through rising enshittification of the internet and you still believe that Big Tech sucking up all data and charging more for worse services everyday is what drives innovation? That everyone gotta bend over and give up what they say they are owed? C’mon…

    Big tech getting greedy is how we got reddit in the first place. And reddit getting too greedy is what is leading to lemmy. So ya it is driving innovation. People either think it's worth it or driven to develop an better or suitable alternative.

  • How the world works is that people get what they can get away with, and we who are on the bottom ought to keep that in mind instead of idealizing a model of fairness that only helps those who are already powerful get away with more.

    It works that way because ultimately that's what drives competition and innovation. I am open to a more fair alternative however I am aware of none that has actually been successful.

    Instead, if you do care about fairness, think more about those who need it.

    I said things have a cost and I think based on the market alternatives, what YT is charging is still fair. You may disagree and that is your right to. I did not imply however that the world itself is fair or even needs to be fair. It's not and never has been and whether is should be is a much bigger philosophical debate outside of just YT pricing.
