For about a year I could cancel my 1€ subscription and renew it every other month 6€ for half a year was worth it. But the app lacks so much no way I’m paying more
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Same for me, I love taking peeks into rabbit holes without going too deep and for years YouTube was perfect for that. Get a glance of a community and move on while sometimes leaving a subscription for outstanding creators. Now it forces me down into small bubbles and I hate it.
The search function also became useless outside of music since almost everyone uses click bait titles.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Then why is Google using it for question like that?
Surely it should be advanced enough to realise it’s weakness with this kind of questions and just don’t give an answer.

I believe having lack of evidence being the evidence for a crime is problematic, but it sure is evidence enough that they aren’t fit for their job and they should immediately lose it. Everyone Including the supervisor who failed to run the team properly.

- Comment on MSI and ASUS hike GeForce RTX 50 series prices in official stores, now up to $3,409 for RTX 5090 9 months ago:
After a while it’s not cheaper. 2080ti should already perform at the level or above a PS5 and console games don’t get the discounts PC games have plus most indie games aren’t even available on console.
And for real you don’t need a 1000$ card to game up to date AAA games, a 600-800$ PC can play fine at 1080p
