Comment Watch/Binge/Cancel vs. Reasonable Annual Rates (Score 5, Interesting) 78

I was happy to pay for an annual subscription at a reduced rate for Disney+ (or really, any service) as it reduces the need to play the "subscribe,binge,cancel" game. But they keep trying to jack up prices more and more and more making it so that I either forced to subscribe, binge, cancel or simply not watch. They came out with the triple bundle for $20 and I was stoked! I don't really watch ESPN for much, but enjoyed some of the college football games. I subscribed and they nearly instantly jacked up the price by $5. CANCEL

I had Netflix nonstop for nearly a decade, but they decided to jack up prices so now I "subscribe,binge,cancel". Give me a full year at 40-60% off and I'll stay subscribed. Jack up monthly subs to unreasonable levels? I'll break out the old pirate flags or just not watch at all.

The MO now is to jack up prices and offer a "deal" for ads. F that. I'm NEVER going back to ads. I'll either pay a reasonable rate or "subscribe,binge,cancel".

Comment And tripled the spam it sends me! (Score 1) 68

I try to let amazon know every time I possibly can with feedback. The 3rd party seller "please rate me with a positive review" email spam is awful. I'm about to stop buying online and buying at brick and mortar stores again -- why? because when I buy a stick on deodorant at Target, no one asks me to post a review. If I really really like something (or hate it), I'll find my way online and post a review if I so desire. That is how amazon (3rd party or not) should operate.

Comment Worst launch ever (Score 1) 304

This was really the worst product launch ever. I was refreshing their page from 5 minutes prior and hit their distributor's pages in seconds after the announcement. Nothing... I couldn't get past the first page before the site went down. I have to say it was VERY disappointing. I'd have been happy with not getting one because I didn't click fast enough, but not getting one because of a random server outage? yea, I'm not very happy right now -- especially after following the product for such a long time.

Comment Go, meet people. (Score 1) 244

Dude, go. Meet people. Have a good time.

You have nothing to lose by attending, nothing at all. If you find it to be a waste of time after you go, don't go again if you don't want to. Life is about your experiences - if you're at home doing whatever it is you do normally, that's 1 less thing for you.
