I haven’t left, convince me to.

I wanted to get premium and while i was considering it they had 2 price increases.

No thank you, bye.

I am of the mindset: i want value out of my money, subscriptions that let you own nothing immediately falls out of my requirements so i need it to be a price i’m willing to pay. Which is a low price.

I cancelled spotify the moment they added €1 to the cost, all it gave me was a play button and a bunch of bullshit i don’t care for like a year in review. Dude, i was there…listening to that music, i already know what i played so i don’t need you to tell me.

But that’s just me and i’m the odd one out it seems.

I compare spotify like this; i bought a cd from the discount bin for €5 and got to play that for a whole life and i’d be happy if it was all i had. Spotify opens up do much music to you which is really cool BUT i used to buy a single album a year and copy that to a new cd/mp3 player to add it to the previous boughr cd’s. So my cost went from €5/€20 a year to €11 a month while i own nothing. In my head that’s automatically a waste of €112 euro’s that are spent with no real returning value.

The biggest value most subscription services offer is: they’ll stop literally pestering you with ads.

Because the big channels will get a significant drop in views which lowers their sponsor pay and willingness to work with them.

What is that video xD Dutch oven wth kind of nickname is that for a battlebot man i’m dead

Cycling, video games and lego.

So that’s why Instagram is the way it is, i assumed it was fairly small but it has attracted a rather toxic userbase and i don’t actually enjoy it anymore.

It used to be a place where i could share my joys and people with similar interests would follow me because they enjoy my joys too.

But now it’s just tiktok, at least i assume seeing it’s all reels and loud noises.

This reminds me of the blackberry ping days, everyone and their mom acting like a diva for having a sidekick blackberry just to use ping.

Those were better days financially.

I wanted a G8 monitor or the G9

The G9 is still €1799 and the G8 went from €888 to €840.

I’ll wait for an upgrade of either and see these drop to 2/3 of msrp or something.

Let them keep this shit up and you’ll find out.

Necessity is the mother of invention.

Keep it up, dumbasses.

Catch the hint…the harder you try the harder we do. There’s no trying from our end.

Turns out i’m gonna buy a steamdeck with them using linux and thinking of things like this.

I just need to wait a bit as the most expensive season is around the corner, i’m just glad our Dutch black friday doesn’t outdo any regular discount making it a near necessity to wait for black friday.

That’s some high res looking pikachu, i stole it.

I enjoyed it for about 70h, then i got sick of all the loading.

I just need properly updated skyrim. Better graphics, similar amount of loading screens, better npc’s, better mechanics but the same old fantasy setting.

Oh and all the mods, something about sculpting my own vuloptuous barbie doll character to turn into the ultimate killing machine.

With stuff like that, depending on the rarity obviously wouldn’t it be better to get a regular version to read?

I often decline their cookie bull, they’ll just keep asking with every new page i load from that website. Preferably with a pop-up that covers 2/3rd of the screen.

Please don’t the 17 attempts for me to surrender my cookies are already exhausting my willingness to use the web.

I have those magnet balls and over the years (sounds more dramatic than it is) i bought 10 sets which usually sit on my desk in some fancy shape as decoration.

They can get fairly expensive (mass/price) so i opted to buy a single set every so often as i haven’t found a magnet shop that sells individual balls for less.

Sometimes i get so invested i’ll mess with them for hours.

Lucky you, it seems.

They sound really dramatic and difficult to deal with (an assumption based on what i usually hear about people that are similar in preferences etc).

If this is right, take care.

I’d give them a call: “i don’t mind these changes for 65% of the previous fee, unless you want me to cancel right here right now”.

See if they are willing to compensate, if not just cancel and yarr matey.

It’s just entertainment in the end, nothing we can’t live without or have loads of replacements available.
