Can anybody please share your thoughts on what would indicate "getting your money's worth" or "good value" would be for something like this? Are some much more exposed than others where it makes sense to pay for it? Is it because they continue to remove data whereas for the average person that would be unduly arduous?

They advertise removing data from somewhere around 190 sites. What are the repercussions of missing sites like they claim competitors do? What's the end result if even the monitor plus service misses some?

How do I know if over time the service goes through "enshitification"?

This interests me, but I lack the savvy to know how it improves my life or if I'll ever notice a difference. I'd like to know what are reasonable expectations for it.

"Don't mess with us" is the translation of the lyrics of the song playing at the end the execs are dancing to. Earlier in the video they do say they want to crush their competition and show a clip of a hand crushing a soda can.

The song is played as the outro so could be interpreted as a last word on the video as a whole. It's not exactly clear what the intention of the lyrical translation is.

The CEO also states in the video that they are no longer asking nor negotiating, but informing of the policy. Seems pretty straight forward that it is a demand and that employees' jobs are at jeopardy if they choose not to comply.

I've purchased every DLC and game, at release, since the original Total War: Warhammer in May 2016. This is the first DLC I am not buying because the value has completely dropped off.

To me, the series peaked sometime late in TW:WH2's cycle. The third game has been fun in doses, but just hasn't felt the same. It doesn't keep me in "one more turn" mode. The majority of the battles wind up feeling like a chore instead of the highlight reels of your campaign map choices.

Thousands of hours in this series and I'm sad to see CA cap it off with a price gouge. So it goes...

It might be longer form than what you are looking for, but I have been listening to/watching the Big Blue Banter podcast. The two hosts are Giants fans and also cover football for their full-time jobs. Dan Schneier is a fantasy football analyst for CBS and Nick Falato writes for BigBlueView. I would say Nick has a stronger background of film analysis and technique, but they both watch film and give their opinions on how the players are performing. They do a pretty good job, IMHO, of covering Giants specific news and seem to give an honest opinion not a complete homer view of the team.

You can find it on iTunes or Spotify to listen to and last season they started a YouTube channel where they would do film breakdown after each game. I learned more about the X's and O's watching their YouTube channel than I ever have before. I hope this helps!
