I go to concerts/look up who’s touring with the band. It ends up being more than the subscription cost, but it goes to the venue and band rather than Spotify and Joe Rogan.

Becoming a monopoly and tech giant is pretty nice…
To add, you have to become a partner before ever seeing a penny, which means you’ve fronted all the start up costs.
It’s not supporting terrorism. Citizens should not be judged by their worst counterparts. Otherwise, we’d fucking burn America to the ground because Trump ran us deep into nazi territory.
No shot the bottom left was ai gen without human help. AI has so much trouble delivering words and text.
You mean added ad content that’s not removable or blockable, charging a subscription for no new features, and blocking users he doesn’t like.
Yeah I’m not buying a car from a megalomaniac that might flip the switch for Tesla over 6 months to become his new biggest ad/subscription machine.
The problem right now is the incentives.
Banks are incentivised to buy homes. It increases the homes for sale and reduces supply.
Banks are deincentivized from building homes. It increases supply.
Increase supply, and the whole first bullet crumbles. They’ll run out of money eventually, and if they don’t, at least we have more homes on the market to balance out rent.
This is the real reason why Dems won’t bring her in. People will make excuse after excuse. Your first main point was disproven and you just come up with another.
Not just that, imagine something with a lot of users like universities or hotels. Who the hell is supposed to take accountability there?
Conspiracy hat on.
Banks have gotten high on their own power. They realize they can compete in residential real estate and starve out the market by artificially decreasing supply and hiking prices. They know the US loves circle jerking (American) auto makers, and will funnel tax money to make them survive.
Banks will want in on the action and will back automakers to follow suit, cut supply/artificially decrease it, and increase prices (more than they are).
In that scenario 1 of 2 things happens, 1) we pay more cash for cars that are necessary for American life 2) we lease/finance ridiculous prices and the bank makes even more profit.
It’s win win for them to support auto industry and supply them with the real estate they’re holding on the side lines.
To play devil’s advocate, used car prices do not follow supply and demand. They follow perceived supply and demand by a conflict of interest. If you try to buy a used car, your salesman gives you info to push you to pay more. They have other lots to make it seem like there’s low supply.
Carvana and CarMax operate similarly.
And if you feel like knowledge is power, Manheim/Cox numbers don’t matter when you’re purchasing through a greedy middleman.
You mean never get awoken in the middle of the night by a dying fire alarm? That’s got to be at least bottom of A tier.
I always say this. You’re one person. Facebook was once a trillion dollar company that hired teams of engineers, phds, and marketers to device the most abusive ways to keep your attention. There are literal studies showing how insta promotes depression in young girls and yet they’re still allowed to operate.
Social media’s marketing schemes are the new generations tobacco industry.
I’ve never wanted to zuck someone off more.
Abuse my right to view ads daddy zuck.
We know women are heavy shoppers, thus they have more competitive ad space.
We know people like to scam elderly, thus they have more competitive ad space.
Sounds like big insurance might be complaining that they’re worse at SEO than the Nigerian prince.
Can’t wait for this bullshit to get denied because writers/actors are already striking.
Pricing should protect indie and small businesses. When it destroys those, we need government to step in because we’re on track to create oligarchs in every industry that are too big to fail.
Make bad decisions and blame it on AI. Make good decisions and blame it on CEO.
Just bought an EV from a local dealer. Went in on Saturday because they had a 2 month used listing on their website for about 10k under MSRP. They told me, oh no that sold, but please check out the new cars. I entertained them and told them they’d need to bring down the price 10k to get me to sign because it’s simply out of my price range. They also mentioned these things (ioniq 6) are selling extremely quickly and they only have a few on the lot.
They insisted and played games for a week, with offers OVER msrp, so I let them waste their time. They pushed me to come in, so as I was about to sign, I told them, actually, no. I need an offer 10k under MSRP or I’m leaving. At this point that was a 15k cut. They’ve now wasted a week of negotiation and suddenly found the used one I originally requested, but it was at their off-site lot.
We drove over there, and it was a large 5 story parking deckcompletely filled to the top. They even had cars parked in front of cars. They tried one last game and made me wait for 3 hours to get it out.
All that is to say, let the fuckers bleed. If they can’t afford Christmas, maybe they need to learn what the fuck capitalism really means. If they can’t afford new years, it’s time to make a new resolution and if they can’t afford spring break, it’s time to find a new job.
