There are literally lawn chairs in Hyde Park in London and if you sit in a dude rocks up and informs you that it costs like $2 per half hour to sit in it.
Can't wait for roaming fees on my oxygen consumption plan.
Is that dude a street scammer?
Nah, they even have a web site apparently: https://www.royalparks.org.uk/visit/parks/hyde-park/park-deck-chairs

Literally lawn chairs
It used to be like that when I was a wee child in the Paris parks. They stopped it in the early '70s I think. I seem to remember that the fee was 50 centimes back then for 1/2 hour. I've no idea what the current equivalent would be.
So I looked up a random inflation calculator and it works out to 1€ today, taking into account the 684% of inflation.
Oh. That sounds like fun. Going round collapsing all the unoccupied chairs, that is.

At least it comes at a discount right now
how are you getting an ad on lemmy ?
Poor guy is doing lemmy all wrong.
They're using an app which has an ad-supported version. I prefer Jeroba, which is only donation supported, but I'm not gonna stop people from making decisions.
They are using an app, which isn't great. Most of the aps don't do formatting correctly, which is a VERY low bar considering how much of Lemmy is text.

There's an ad for something, with the bell. We both use the free version of Sync.
oh i hadnt realized that sync had ads....
it evidently must be a great app otherwise if people are willing to use it
"sure, it seems like a lot but you need the understand the great value you're getting for that $70! Once you agree to a 48 month non-refundable subscription, we will ensure that our representatives do NOT follow you around with flashing lights and sirens and a big sign that says 'did not pay $70'! At that price you can't afford not to subscribe!"
follow you around with flashing lights and sirens and a big sign that says ‘did not pay $70’!
Why not just show ads? Paying the $70 reduces the amount seen. Of course we need lots of personal information to show the right ads. And everything you say or do will be recorded for AI training.
