maybe don’t make such a general blanket statement that anyone could take offense from, next time maybe? maybe don’t blame anyone for corporate greed except the corporates who are greeding instead of getting upset about nothing

bro we used to have everything without paying out the nose. that’s the whole point lmao, way to miss it.

you’re just glossing over what people are typing because you’re ok being shrouded in ignorance. that’s a choice, alright.

lol seriously: how the fuck do you think any of what you typed out is, ‘simple,’?

it’s not ‘simple’ because all of the companies and studios have ALL tried to make their own offerings - so ‘stuff you want to watch’ has been parceled out to 5 different streaming services, genius. can i have some of what you’re smoking or what, pal?

I disagree here, Capitalism itself didn’t provide society with jack squat.

Because this isn’t good for the consumer only short sighted leftists who love others taking control for them are cool with the government telling companies how they can make their products

Name one lmao

Lol this is such bull shit

It’s not about motivation it’s about need

Nobody is clamoring for this accept the EU government and some right to repair fanatics who most likely don’t repair jack in their own lives and haven’t needed nor requested replacement smartphone batteries

Because nobody needs them anymore lol. Market buddy if this was something important we’d be getting it

Agreed. Too bad the 11 disagrees didn’t have the stones to voice their dissenting opinion

You don’t seem to know it, but nebulous jargon like ‘technical expertise’ can be applied to anything like using a microwave so Apple includes instructions. Not seeing how this invalidates their point

Most people did not do this nor needed to since the very beginning of cell phones

We literally do not need replaceable batteries in 2023

lol zero production costs because they’re not a production studio, genius, lmao. they do have a shit ton of overhead costs though - look into it instead of acting like it costs nothing to be the largest video hosted site on the planet.

lol this post is nothing more than a tantrum from a leech of a service they’re too cheap to pay for and scrabbling for reasons other than said cheap-ness

you may get likes on the internet for this wholly selfish take but we all know it’s nothing more than that.

lol you hate the service so it makes it ok for you to steal? K good sirs, keep on pirating

they have day 1 dlc guys

haha it’s funny i felt the opposite - when i got here at the beginning of the ‘exodus’ i already felt like Lemmy was a small but thriving little community that i enjoyed much more than reddit.

not sure why some want it to be just like reddit but the fediverse. i don’t and i’m glad it’s a smaller bunch of people and hope it stays that way.

the step of paying? lol. i’m not sure that constitutes difficulty.

that argument of ‘they have money’ doesn’t make fucking sense lol. them having money has zero to do with them asking for payment in exchange for a service like every other company out there. the fuck does their bank account have to do with the costs of hosting millions of videos for millions of viewers? bupkus - that’s what.

lol oh no, they lost a ‘potential’ sale from someone who probably was never going to spend anyway. if ya were, you would have done it already.

Is this their first or second price hike? I’ve had it since it was Red - I’ll probably just hang in since there isn’t a great alternative.
