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.

Personal Capital or whatever they rebranded to has been generally stable since I left mint a few years ago.

Lol.

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?

It sounds like you have a problem with tax rates more than the technology. Are we also fed up with being able to translate web pages with a browser extension?

Why?

What?

Aren’t some of them just learning to type on an actual keyboard? I thought I read they’re a very mobile-first or mobile-only generation. I think it was in the context of the video game market, indie games, and mobile games.

I doubt it.

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 think that’s a portion but I know a few people that just take the path of least resistance. Right now, that is absolutely not the fediverse. In a few months with all the apps already in development, it might be a better experience with better content.
