I haven’t cancelled Spotify etc but I axed HBO max after what seemed to be the third email about another price increase in a short period.

Funny thing is, if they just had offered me larger one-shot price increase, I’d have paid it no mind likely. Something about the drip-feed of price increases in such a short time pissed me off enough to cancel though.


It does make sense if they position themselves to take hard power. That’s worth a lot more than money alone and worth losing even large amounts for.

Anyone of consequence will likely be ok. They have good revenue streams that they would prefer not be interrupted though.

> except maybe among a certain set of cranks.

Eh, a growing set of cranks. The diversity of political opinion in America seems to have exploded over the last decade. Cranks are now serious contenders for power and influence.


> I can't believe it's current year and this bigot doesn't want his country overrun with foreigners or to have a middle class lifestyle unattainable for the average man

Tsk tsk, peasants learned to live with their stature centuries ago why can’t you?


Man, a gun is so much cheaper.

And equally less visible (or legally visible).

> Its very much like google. Anyone can google anything. But at a certain point, you need to understand _how to google_ to get good results rather than just slapping any random phrase and hoping the top 3 results are magically going to answer you. And sometimes you need to combine the information from multiple results to get what you are going for.

Lmao, and just as with google, they’ll eventually optimize it for ad delivery and it will become shit.


Give it a few months and LLM-skepticism will be framed as domestic terrorism.

Don’t attention whore on the internet if you want privacy.

Depends. Can you stomach being an antisocial idiot, a shill, a liar? These are the talents we need.
