The problem with this argument was their short-sighted business model. They sold digital games for the same price as physical games.
If consumers are accustom to “owning” physical games, and then pay the same price for digital, of course they would assume they own those as well.
If instead you needed to buy a subscription to each game that came out, and they only charged $10/month for the latest AAA game, the “you don’t own it” argument would actually be reasonable.
That’s like news reports that just say something like:
Scientists discover water is wet, after utilizing $500k taxpayer-backed grant
Which is definitely intended to enrage people who won’t do any further research, or read what the study is actually about, and will instead spread the misinformation and distrust of the scientific community

OP calls it the DiCaprio approach, but DiCaprio is known for breaking off relationships when they turn 25.
The joke is that the meme implies a 25 year old married for 30 years
(25years old ) - (30years married + 18 typical legal marriage age)
Dam, rich people are going after -23 year olds now? Someone needs to release those files.
Think this is the first time I’ve ever seen a headline with the world SLAMS and was okay with it
Voting is such an easy thing it makes no sense to purposely not do it. You don’t lose anything by voting, but risk losing everything by not voting.
People who refuse to vote as a protest aren’t demonstrating anything. So all they can do is constantly brag about how they don’t vote in an attempt to dissuade others as well.
I’m sure this thread can only lead to productive discourse.
I understand why he might have been anti-vax during COVID, as he probably had financial interest in that hydroxychloroquine nonsense.
But what is the point of being anti-vax now? What is there to gain? Is the plan just to sell the next snake oil? I can’t imagine killing off your own populace in droves for no reason. Usually at least there is a financial incentive to murder thousands.
Someone must be getting paid, but who?
Is that a metric, and hence a goal here?
The way I read it is that the drug trade has an expected demand. If the supply channels were interrupted, they might cut what did make it into the country, in order to keep a consistent volume.
Law enforcement may assume a certain purity coming in, but can only track the change in what actually makes it to the street.
I have nothing to add
I just also want to be told to “Kick rocks, communist”
Just because its free doesn’t mean it isn’t an ad.
Also, don’t kid yourself, it’s freemium. Making open source projects like this and then having a paid tier is a VERY common business strategy. Again, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but be honest about what you’re doing at least.
At this point you’re really just embarrassing yourself. Delete this entire post and save yourself from the bad publicity.

I think you don’t understand how advertising works. This is an obvious ad, which is fine, but the fact is, it is very low effort.
Why would anyone click an ad just based on a name of a product alone? It could be propaganda, a Rick Roll, or a 30minute video that takes 15min to explain what it is, and then I find out it’s something I don’t want anyway. Huge waste of time for everyone.
Refusing to explain what this is, and insisting people click your link is very obviously a weak attempt to raise the video’s view count.
What you should do instead is explain what it is, why its different than other alternatives, and only then encourage users who want to learn more.
Not uncommon for couples to share friends. No matter who it is, no one likes getting bad mouthed behind their back
Yes, but:

OMG so why did you guys break up? You were so perfect for each other!
He chose his video games over me…
Wow what a loser, you’re so much better than him
After seeing this meme, it did kind of remind me of this guy playing Buzz at some point but couldn’t remember when.
Seems like he played him in video games, TV shows, and all the stuff Tim Allen didn’t want to do

I kind of get it though. If I were the client in this situation I would trust closed source Google way more than some self-hosted app I’ve never heard of, which could be subject to user-manipulation.
That being said, for personal or nonprofessional use, this thing seems fantastic, especially from a privacy perspective.
