Oh sure, I agree that it's not always perfect, but neither is driving. I can't tell you how many times I've been randomly stuck in gridlock because someone got in a crash on the freeway.

The issue here is entirely that there is no choice that can be made. You either drive, or you don't go anywhere. I don't want to need a car, I want to want a car. Cars are convenient, but when they're required to do literally everything then they're a massive inconvenience.

If I was able to make a choice, I could share a car with someone else. As it stands, we both have to own one.

I just bounce

Even during my own parties or while I have people over. Stay as long as you like, even stay the night if you so desire, but I'm going to my room and passing out at 10pm no matter what, so you do you from that point on. It's likely I'll also forget to tell you I'm going to bed

I like the post but had to downvote it because the English is atrocious

You adding views to some random video absolutely does not offset the cost of your usage through ads. Ads can make a surprising amount of money for a platform (upwards of 4 or 5 dollars a month per free user). Based on YouTube removing premium Lite, I think it's actually very safe to assume that the consumption of free users is around that, so approximately $7 per month on average. Do you honestly think this would offset that cost in any universe?

It's okay to want stuff for free. Just make sure you fully understand the consequences and don't try to play it off like you're the good guy.

Not in the slightest unfortunately. Often customers don't even know what customers want, and the subgroup that actually responds to these aren't necessarily "average"

Thank you. I've personally not worked at a company yet that actually sold this data or moved it outside of our internal systems. It exists purely to drive business decisions

If the alternative is 1/4 or 1/5 voting, then it is a "win." Every step in the right direction is a win.

Oculus is by far an infinitely superior brand name

That and also that it's natural they would jack up prices to be at or just below the cost of maintaining your own servers, otherwise everyone would just run their own servers

Also don't forget that people don't like housing built near them because it "drives down housing prices." Homeowners themselves are more a problem than corporations are.
