OP said it’s 20% to 56% depending on currency.
Comment on RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it

The difference between $12 and $14 is not equal to 50% of $12.

Then he should put that in the title.

Thats fair, but equally you should read the post.
Like you have never had to dilute a clickbaity title before…

What we should do is blame OP for deliberately choosing a title that makes it look worse than it is.
papertowels@lemmy.one 2 weeks ago
Just to be clear, by “read the post” do you mean go through all the comments of the mega thread OP shared? That seems unreasonable as opposed to “OP could’ve been clearer”.
Is there a more summarized version then “all the reddit comments on a mega thread” anywhere?

But $12 to $14 is <20%…
Weslee@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
There are other currencies in the world.
Euro is going from 8 to 12.5, which is higher than 50%
ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
That’s 36% but I’m sure it’s higher in some other currencies.
semi@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
12.5/8=1.5625, so the Euro price went up by 56.25%
Itwasthegoat@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
No, it’s a 56% increase. The increase is based on the before number, not after. 8->16 would be a 100% price increase

you’re trolling bro wtf
Enoril@jlai.lu 2 weeks ago
Not sure, took me some time to remember we were talking about % increase.
Not everybody is natively good at math ^^

You divide by the old price, not the new one:
12.5 / 8 = 156%
Apollo42@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
8 eur to 12.5 eur is a 56.25% increase. 16 would be a 100% increase.
intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 weeks ago
50% would have to be 18
Apollo42@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
50% of 8 is 4, so increasing from 8 to 12.5 is an increase of over 50%.
