Wherever I wander I wonder whether I’ll ever find a place to call home…

  • What in the fuckety fuckfuck?

    The constant rising tide of “oh, we’re adding ads to your current tier, but here’s a new ad-free upgrade option!” was bad enough. But “Actually no, you can’t even pay for ad-free streaming if you want to. Gfys.” is sooo fucked. What are they even thinking, from a business perspective, do they really believe they have their user base so locked in that they can get away with this? (Don’t answer that; the sad truth is, they probably do believe so, and they’re probably right…).

    Also, that on-screen prompt better include an option for an immediate downgrade and/or pro-rated refund (it probably doesn’t).

  • They probably have a machine that trawls the internet for mentions of itself, then extracts the IP of whoever posted them, builds a profile on their entire web activity, links it to all the personally identifiable information that can be found on them online, then hacks into their devices and starts recording them through their own camera, mic, wifi, etc., and possibly mails them a brand new pager with custom modifications.

    So yeah, can’t really blame the OOP for censoring the acronym…
