Also kind of ignoring the fact that the point of insurance is that most people, maybe around 81% for instance, don’t need to use it to its full extreme. And obviously those people are going to be more likely to have a generally positive view of it.
First time I’m hearing about either of these which is going to be a problem.
chattel* slavery

My reading is that the classic search listings are coming from Bing and the the quick answer type stuff is coming from DDGs systems.
They “just” merged the Team/channel and Chat systems together ala Slack.
What basic features?
Is that regional? Ours is working fine out in the midwest.
Scripting, both frameworks and finished code with testing and iteration.
More often than not it gives me decent answers for the kind of info I’m searching for. Saves me a lot of time digging through ad layden pages and search results.
Dang, my nightstand printer is such a great white noise generator too. ;p
Posted through a Proton connection, what’s your VPN? As others have stated this is likely not .world directly, but rather a symptom of Cloudflare (DDoS) protections.
Of who’s money? 😜
Background is probably black because it’s still pointed at the old, non-onedrive, path that no longer leads anywhere.
As with many things, it really is likely a mixture of both. Very possible that 9.99 was unrealistically low, but the current streaming market and “inflation” smoke screening is also enabling some real squeezing of consumers.
Obviously it isn’t, if it was there wouldn’t be a user facing cost. The fact this is a private venture basically proves that wherever this is, the municipality or building owner is only committed to providing tap water (which we see here is “free”) the cost is for the extra, private, infrastructure that has been added in order to provide cold filtered water. If you aren’t US, I’ll note that municipal water treatment and filtering vs the more “Britta” level implied here are entirely different and very much a thing for some people.
Refrigerant and filter systems need to be powered, replaced and maintained, that DOES cost money. What math, if any of substance, was applied on top of that cost to reach the subscription price is debatable. Though perhaps ironically, if they didn’t expect many people to actually bite, then the cost per user would end up being abnormally high.
It’s going to sound like I’m defending them in some way, which I’m really not because the whole thing is stupid, but they’re not charging for the drinking fountain they’re charging for the cold filtered water, which is going to incur some kind of power and maintenance cost that’s while negligible at scale is beyond the norm. Room temperature tap water is still free here.
The heart of what you’re saying is right, but it isn’t 1.99, it’s 1.99x whatever their expected ussage/power/maintenance metrics are.
Maybe I’m just a doomsayer, but the same backlash that has been oh so successful at keeping climate change/environmental policy in a good place? -_-
I would say there is a meta element to this kind of attack that is less directly about public perception, though that exists, and more about the target’s perception and how “they” want to be seen. And yeah everything influences everything else but that level of rabbit holing is rarely constructive. // I also think this is less about foot fetishism in specific anyway and more about Trump being sexually subservient to Musk, this is just about as graphic as you can get with the concept while remaining PG-ish, or at least public display safe.
