I am a software developer, I understand what goes into developing software. He is allowed to value his work at whatever he thinks it's worth.

But as users we are allowed to think he is asking too much or pushing too many ads or whatever. It's not disrespect, it's an opinion, about a mobile app that now has ads on the main feed and in every comment section, that only works based on a platform that is very specifically known for being open and not pushing ads. And it's an especially high price for an app that is still very under development and has only recently just gotten an update for the first time in months, even when some features had stopped working.

I have no issues with him asking to be compensated for his work, and I am glad he makes it available for free, but the ads are getting intrusive, and we are all entitled to our opinions. I don't think there was anything disrespectful about the way I shared my opinion, but I do think it's crap to tell us we are being disrespectful just because you don't share that opinion.

There's way too many people in here that either don't know the difference between succession and secession, or don't know how to spell, or just were too lazy to look at what they were typing or what was being autocorrected.

Alright I'll get the AI on the case to see if it can determine those things from your post.

I never understood that whole tech/startup culture. I would absolutely hate for my entire life to be my job. And from the outside all these "cool" perks are very clearly designed to get you to spend as much time working as possible. No thanks.

It's just fanboys being fanboys. Doesn't really matter what brand it is. I just think there happens to be many many more apple fanboys than there are for other brands.

No, it's the episode of discovery where he is mentioned. It feeds his ego directly.

I reported his channel for harassment way back when this all started and I know a bunch of other people did too. So glad YouTube cares...

Like, I agree with you. But you know her supporters either don't care or will come up with some crazy way to justify it.

Sympathy? What a dumb take.

People still have wired headphones that still work perfectly fine. We used to be able to use them directly with our phones. We also had the option of using wireless too if we wanted. The option was removed, so now in order to keep using some of still perfectly fine electronics with our phones, it requires adapters. That's annoying. What is the benefit to me as a consumer now that the jack is gone? Some marketing bullshit about weight or cost savings? I don't buy it. Phones are larger than ever and more expensive than ever.

Because they removed something that was convenient to try and force people to either spend more money on adapters or buy Bluetooth headphones.

And if you need to charge at the same time? That's yet another adapter.

For what? Being a teenager? Nah. I used to be a teenager. I was very stupid.
