I think it’s as a result of DMA that either Google has introduced this feature, or Apple cannot take it away

I never implied they’re good, I implied it’s not enshittification. There’s a difference.

If they were value-added features, we could opt-out and pay the same (plus inflation) without them.

This doesn’t even make sense because they were added to your account at no charge. That means they would actually have to decrease the price if you want to exclude them.

Lol I need to use this on more people

It does if you inflate the price of the base tier, then add a new lower tier at the old price. With ads.

That’s not enshittification that’s a price increase. They’re not obligated to keep the same price point forever.

Or if you have less content and charge more.

Not enshittification because that’s literally how the industry works. Now imagine they have literally all the content, won’t you be saying it’s a MONOPOLY, KILL THEM ASAP?

Or if you stop making content with creatives having control and instead make it based on producer led content.

Not enshittification.

Or if you start changing up the cover art of different content and sprinkle it in different categories to give the appearance of more content.

Wow person learns how algorithms and categories work. What a revelation.

Or if you claim to be about freedom of speech and not judging content based on being offensive or controversial, but then fire workers that you feel are offensive or controversial.

Not enshittification.

Or if you start buying your competition with the intention of having less competition.

Didn’t you just say above you wanted more content?

This is just people crying about something they don’t like. If you don’t want to use the service don’t use it.

What has Netflix enshittified? Ad supported viewing is a completely different tier and arguably they have provided even more value by bundling in mobile games that are completely ad and micro transaction free. Price increases don’t even count as enshittification.

This pic look like the back cover of an album where the songs are listed

I saw It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World recently and the whole movie was like 1 hour too long at minimum, with 10 minutes to both start and end the movie. Funny, but way too long.

Looks kinda cool, wishlisted for later.

Btw, a new Fediverse instance was recently setup for Indie Games https://indie-ver.se/ Why not try creating a community there, or if it’s a bit too small see if the creators of the instance can make a “this is my indie game” type of community for self promotions.

No I mean he also really wanted to promote football across cultures and invest into poor nations to grow the sport. FWIW he was insanely corrupt but also somehow an improvement on Havelange.

For Infantino that is more of a side to the side quest. He has done absolutely nothing for football.

Sepp Blatter was corrupt but he genuinely was in for the love of the game. Infantino is even worse.

Bit weird if they already didn’t take into consideration the costs of running a server

Wdym it was awesome

No worries I’m sure I sounded like one lol

It’s not just that, I meant more from an international geopolitics POV.

Countries are also for example getting rid of US dollar in favour of gold and silver, or investing in non-US solutions or income streams for many problems technical, agricultural, medical etc because the US might tariff them for no fricking reason. People are no longer looking as much to US as a place where they can settle with their families long term, or a place to conduct research because a large population is brainwashed into being anti-science and anti-immigrant.

You’re probably right, I’m just annoyed as fuck at how pointlessly cynical Lemmy is. If you see the amount I post on this community (which is a lot because I’m an enthusiast and want to keep this place lively) there’s a decent amount of comments like that that pop up over and over when all I’m doing is just basically posting news.

Capitalism is going to help bring down the average American weight? 😭

I’m not an AI hater but make literally one functioning AI product bro before you say that

Yeah America is getting cooked for the next couple decades at least. Even if Trump literally dies tomorrow and his successor backs out no one is trusting them for a long time.

I’m making them realise what an irrelevant bubble the general population of Lemmy is in. Like saying “fuck Spotify” is going to rally the troops to march on their HQ or something. I can’t help if they’re getting offended over the facts.

Unfortunately for you, they say

• Subscribers climbed 12% Y/Y to 281 million.
• Monthly Active Users grew 11% Y/Y to 713 million.
• Total Revenue increased 12% Y/Y constant currency to €4.3 billion.
• Gross Margin improved by 56 bps YoY to 31.6%.
• Operating Income reached €582M.

Remember, you are zero, zilch, nothing, nada, शून्य, irrelevant, specks of dust, grains of sand in the universe to what they say.
