What are you surprised that people pay for, when there are free alternatives in existence? (kbin.melroy.org)

I was going through my Wal-Mart+ subscription plan that I got for free and I saw their offers. One of which was EMeals, that was a 60-day trial. I thought that this was like Blue Apron or other meal delivery services so I thought I'd take a crack at it and hope that it would get me on a path to eat better.

Turns out, it's just a meal planner. And it's absurd to me why and how would anyone pay for something when there are countless and countless recipes and meal planners readily available for free. Who'd the fuck would want to pay for a planner? That's like paying for a calendar app.

Maybe it was good 10-20 years ago. What's it got to offer today? Why should we use a proprietary format when there are faster and more space-efficient open formats widely available today?

7-Zip has long replaced WinRAR, for me.

I just cannot stand the 7zip UX

Create archive: 7z a archive.7z file1.pdf file2.pdf file3.pdf ...
Extract archive: 7z x archive.7z

What is there to hate? It's pretty much the same as every other archive tool that I've seen.
