• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify axes 17% of workforce in third round of layoffs this year⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  At this point Spotify offers less than competitors with Spotify hi-fi being a bunch of bullshit. I only subscribe to spotify when they offer me 3 months for the price of one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HBO Max Shrinkflation: Removing features from my plan, with no reduction in price⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve definitely made a return to dark waters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon made $1 billion through secret price raising algorithm -US FTC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen the price go up just by putting it in the basket.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube cracking on ad blockers.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  YouTube is highly profitable already.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube cracking on ad blockers.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t watched live tv in almost 20 years because I refuse to sit through ads, and I’ll definitely won’t sit through them on YouTube. If it was a banner or some thing on the page or the side of video that would be more acceptable, but sitting through ads to watch a YouTube video….there’s just no way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russia says ban on Russians bringing cars, some goods into EU is racist⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  These guys are great at using words in a nonsensical manner. Racist is the word soup of the day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Surprise: Studio Ghibli’s Hayao Miyazaki has failed to retire a fourth time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  He probably feels tired and the pains of old age and thinks “this can’t last much longer. Better stop now and not leave unfinished work. “ But it then goes for long enough for him to get bored and feel he’s wasting time, so off he goes.

  Can’t be easy. We never know when we actually have to stop. Probably better to just going until the end.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Study: Streamers Now Wasting Record Amounts of Time Finding Something to Watch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The quality of shows they are outputting is quite worrying. They think they can get away without writers continuous input and it shows.

  Netflix in particular I’ve gone from following many shows to only a few.

  Please don’t link to reddit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We're monsters⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is useful technology…for tyrants.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WE NEED MORE SOLDIERS!!!!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m never logging into Reddit again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple says it will remove services such as FaceTime and iMessage from the UK rather than weaken security if new proposals are made law and acted upon.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it? Everyone know how authoritarian China is. Apple cannot show China as being hypocritical, because they consistently against privacy…Britain on the other hand, talks one way, and then acts another.
