Just like American consumers stood up to Netflix when they cracked down on password sharing?
I canceled my account.. but yes, sad trombone noises all around.
Tried to get my wife to cancel multiple times. She actually watches their content and "can't go without it". Imo Netflix has been shit aside from standup comedy for like 8 years now.
I recommend piracy
Once they became a content creator, the service went to shit.
I also canceled be cause of their bullshit but I don't agree with your context statement. People have different likes, I personally find they have put up way more content I actually like in the past couple years, so I just pirate it now.
They've been spamming me with emails since I canceled a year ago. Apparently they're also raising prices again so fuck them
I think part of the intolerance with Wendy's is that it's food. One can live without entertainment, but not without food. There's also the fact that tmobile (and I think verizon) gives its customers access to Netflix with their phone plans
No one needs Wendy’s. A lot of vocal people are annoyed with all this stuff, but I think it’s not their core customers being vocal. I for one stopped going there when their app started allowing me to order, but the restaurant receives a payment failed notice and never makes my food. Been through support multiple times and no one knows anything. Then I tried to relogin and Google login was down for weeks.
Wendy's is garbage in terms of health and nutrition but there are a lot of people who probably have much easier access to a Wendy's than a grocery store. That's the reality of life in America for a lot of low income people and it's fairly well divided along race lines as well. We can sit here from our white suburban couches and judge because there are 4 grocery stores within a 10 minute drive but that simply isn't how it works in some areas.
You are indeed correct, a food desert will certainly drive customers who have no choice.
Sure, but that’s a different problem.
I used to think this was the case, but I am not sure anymore, I am trying to piece it together. Yeah it sucks for the 1 in 10 of us that doesn't live near a grocery store, but we could probably save everyone by educating them on how to eat cheap and healthy - it's something you would only figure out if you seek the information yourself, and there is so much noise, doubt, deception, and misunderstandings in nutrition that the corporations must be doing it on purpose.
Verizon gives Hulu and D+ but both with ads
Actually yes.
Subscriptions went up in general but down in the areas where they implemented the change.
We showed them! 😅😥
