Do you have reason to believe it didn’t?

It’s the only means you can use because it’s the only one the seller provides. Not your fault.
What is shady? You name it.
I mean first and foremost they’re a public-traded company that you’ll see on every storefront on the web, which together basically guarantees unethical business practices.
They automatically enrolled users into PayPal credit without their knowledge or consent. They advertised $10 free credit for new members, then just…didn’t give it. They charge late fees and interest when their shitty servers fail to process payments. They will almost always take the buyer’s side in any dispute, regardless of provided evidence, they automatically opt users into data sharing, etc.

The founder made it steal commissions for a company that they weren’t even affiliated with?

Aaron would be sadly disappointed, but probably unsurprised.

The fed should probably have their own instance, and the states should each have theirs as well.

It’s not just a higher price, it’s an ongoing subscription. That’s not something I would ever agree to. It makes zero sense. It’s just greedy bullshit, in my opinion. Give me a flat fee and if it breaks or you add new features, I will decide if I want to pay again for an upgrade.

RSS is as old as the internet but it’s been effectively killed, except for the websites that host it accidentally.

Shottr is legit. It’s really amazing that there aren’t more decent screenshotting tools when they’re so incredibly useful. People would rather just take a picture of their screen and upload it that way :cringe:

The founder of Honey no longer owns Honey, and hasn’t for some time. It’s owned by PayPal, a much more notoriously shady company that some people still use for some reason.

Like call up someone in another building ‘hey plug the jet into tower X so I can remote in?’
The whole idea is you don’t need anyone local. You leave it plugged in 24/7 so that’s it’s accessible remotely, as needed.
