I remember reading something a few years back that said even still a majority of iOS users subbed directly in the app despite being able to sub from the web browser in the very same device. The human mind is something else For the most part these companies are not allowed to advertise or make mention anywhere in the app that you could pay less by signing up on their site. Many apps have been banned/blocked in the past for some vague reference in an FAQ, buried inside the app, that subscription payments are handled through the website. This has somewhat soften in recent years due to apple getting hit with lawsuits but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He brought attention-starved hectobillionaire Elon Musk on stage. Cameras... Elon got the shit booed out of him. But he isn’t mad. You can’t put in the papers that he’s mad. The more disturbing part might be Chappelle making fun of "the poors" in the upper levels in the back who paid tickets to see him live. And then going on to say fuck my audience, Elon gave me a jetpack. Yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CayceG Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Whatever Chappelle had planned, it was a bit that did NOT work out. To paraphrase his own words... "dude was having a bad set!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google charges more for YouTube Premium if you sign up through the iPhone App. It's like $16-17 if you sign up on iOS, but if you do it on anything else (and just sign in on iOS afterwards) it's $12 (even cheaper with a student email) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found out after paying $16 for about 3 months or so, then someone on here said "it's only $12" when I mentioned it was $16 in some thread on the Performing Arts forum here. I cancelled on my phone, then used my fiancee's (now wife) student email to get it for $7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewhyteboar Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 These new Twitter rules say you can't reveal someone's location in real-time, so I'm looking forward to a lot of sports accounts getting banned for saying stuff like "...and Edwin Diaz takes the mound in the bottom of the 9th."
