I was watching this happen day of for a show in Montreal just recently. There were few seats available for weeks leading up to the show with resale tickets around 200 to 300 CAD a piece, then day of big chunks of non resale seats came available for a fraction of that.
Artificial scarcity. Total and complete scam.
Expensive but worth it.
A world where you could picked based on the user experience of the apps instead of slice of content? Sign me up. To hell with that HBO Max app.
Personal Capital or whatever they rebranded to has been generally stable since I left mint a few years ago.
I honestly don’t get the hate. People obviously want to order restaurant food to have at home. Maybe they’re watching a series, studying, have kids, are introverts… like who even cares the reason. And they’re willing to pay more. Why not try to accommodate that?
To me it sounds like the issue is UX related (contacting customers) and store related (expediting orders in the best sequence). Neither of those seem like the solution is wishing people wouldn’t use the service.
Priority isn’t about LOE.
Radio does?! Wow, last I had it on the three pop songs on repeat surrounded by an annoying personality and tons of ads gave me the wrong idea.
Many people that did that have careers and families and a general opportunity cost for their time. Ripping CDs is so unbelievably far down on my priority list it doesn’t even register.
How is Spotify ruining discovery? Imo they’re absolutely crushing it, I’ve been loving their new DJ feature, used it exclusively on a four our car ride and the mix was awesome, and found a couple new bands. My only complaint is that their recent redesign and navigation patterns are a step down.
Or do you mean in terms of the free plan?
This is more UX than UI but the inconsistent volume is a nightmare, adding insult to injury. Everything I want to be equal or quieter is way louder.
That and the impact. The amount of communism or total and complete anti capitalism without nuance or depth, right or wrong. Reddit was very left, but not like here!
I don’t see it mentioned so maybe it’s not lesser known, but jackfruit is amazing. SEA like most amazing fruit but have seen it more often in North America. Fresh, not the prepped and sauced vegan style.
And the versioning of those textbooks to make sure it can sell for exactly nothing.
So you’re saying it’s proportional all the way up and not a big deal, or people love assholes and upvote all their material and comments for greater proportional impact?
If anything I would argue that the first and early adopters are less likely to be assholes, to where eventually you reach that tipping point and move back towards the average, which feels worse in what is a collection of niche communities, because the average engages slightly different content than early adopters.
Moreso, I think it’s just confirmation bias. OP is hyper sensitive to a change in the culture so every example of it weighs a little more.
To be clear, like most things, I don’t think it’s one thing or another; a little from A, a little from B, and probably a slew of other factors.
This mentality explains a lot of open source.
Give it time and they won’t. The desktop redesign they rolled out recently is such a big step in the wrong direction imo. I’m in there everyday and haven’t really “gotten used to it” but sure hope I do.
What does this mean.
Is there collapsible comments yet? There wasn’t when I tried (or I couldn’t find it) and that’s a deal breaker for me.
I agree, however, for my use cases little to none of that quality content came here and I’ve struggled to get it through other channels. My local subreddit I’ve taken a peek at and it’s as active as ever, along with a few others that are top of mind.
I’m glad to have learned about the fediverse but it is, currently at least, something different and I’m disappointed I might work in a quick web based scroll through some key subs.
Honestly the same thing I used to do with Facebook before it became a total and complete wasteland.
