YouTube Balloon
I just cannot understand why they think that people will pay a higher premium than their competitors. I guess some companies have to learn the hard way before they realize their mistakes.
So if you think price increases in this day and age is going to keep subscribers with the current high cost of goods, think again.

Times have changed and so have people and technology. What was good years ago may not necessary be good today.
In my opinion I see this time changing pointless, year after year everyone changes their time and everyone thinks that they are saving energy, but where the proof. Where is the data supporting that this is saving us energy. I want to know on how much power changing my clock to one hour back and forward has made us saved. Let us see that information and let that information be easily available to everyone so that we can end this debate.

Win10 Lockout
In recent weeks Microsoft has been getting sloppy with updates and bugs and one such bug is a broken Microsoft 365 trial offer.
On boot up, users get a full-screen offer for a trial version of Microsoft 365 and your choices are to just enter your credit card details to get access to their desktop. This is the only option they have to get things back to normal and you can just cancel afterward to prevent being charged.
In my opinion, the more you look at it the more it is really like a marketing sham.

Netflix Ban
This has long been a problem with Netflix from the start and if they would have set their rules down when the problem started they would not be addressing this.
Since the company started it always tried to accommodate everyone and that was good but for a short time. Netflix never pulled the plug on sharing and consumers still feel entitled that they have the upper hand and that time is now up.
As Netflix begins addressing its problems subscriber rates will gradually increase and before you know it they will eventually become once again a supergiant.
So for all those users who have been sharing accounts for years, let's just say that it was a good ride while it lasted.
2/6/23
