FYI, this is Forbes blogging platform. I keep seeing people link to these and put emphasis on "Forbes" in the title. Forbes is also at fault here for being intentionally misleading (and getting people to write for them for free).

Ah yes, poor people and people living on minimum wage don't need music. And if they really needed it, they would just skip a meal.
Indexing and data hosting is worth $11 per month? Music uses very little space and bandwidth. Listening to 3 hours every day for a month ends up being around 10gb of bandwidth. If they were using expensive on-demand AWS bandwidth, that would cost them 50 cents. They aren't, they have edge caches all over and almost certainly pay less than 10 cents.
How would you regulare excessive sugar? Have a weekly quota of sugar that can be contained in food you purchase? Are they going to ban growing fruits?
I presume you're not talking about Russia? You're going to have a hard time showing them those Nazis.
A person from 1950s will just be super confused when you say it because they're going to ask you what country is Nazi. If you say the US they'll just be confused further.
Gore... is childish?
It's not a dark personality to misinterpret things. It's just a poor grasp of the finer aspects of communication.
For instance, Kathy Griffin made a controversial video holding a bloodied severed head of Trump, who was the US president at the time. That rightfully received a lot of backlash for being in poor taste. Making death threats against the president of the United States in a serious crime, however she was not arrested because it was correctly not seen as a threat by the law enforcement.
Russia loves people like you who are doing their divide-and-conquer work for them.
Most of the right wing is in support of Ukraine. And every case of the government officials opposing more help for Ukraine I've seen was on financial grounds, not because they support Russia.
Support of Ukraine is one of the most bipartisan political position in the nation.
As opposed to moving to a decentralized instance?
Every lemmy instance is centralized, it's not a bloody blockchain.
An uptick after these changes make sense. People want to continue their comfortable routines. However now that it's draining their wallet, they will probably be on the lookout for cheap/free alternatives.
It's the same with increasing prices. Short term your revenue will spike, but it will bleed as you slowly lose customers because you offer less value.
But the people who were previously paying is where Netflix is playing with fire. They released the customers who were paying only because they were sharing it and didnt want to cause an inconvenience.
I think it's a pretty big gamble by Netflix, it will take time to see how it played out.
It's 4 Google engineers. They sure as shit didnt start this as a pet project.
He wasnt being 80% Elon. You were just unaware of how shitty he was back then because everyone was kissing the ground he walked on.
He's always been a massive PoS, he was just better at keeping on the downlow.
