I used to be have a premium family suscription, canceled it the moment google increased the price by 30%, I considered such a jump unfair compared to the rest of the economy where salaries are hardly getting adjusted to the inflation.


You cancelled YouTube Premium because YouTube was trying to keep content creator income on pace with inflation?


I read it more as katrotz cancelling YTP because it became more expensive while katrotz' income did not increase by the same amount. If things become more expensive and my wages don't increase as much I am going to cut some expenses.


Are you prepared to donate 100% of your income to all those poor "content creators" then?

Most people would like to have a roof over their heads and eat once in a while.


$22 a month for YouTube Premium is what I pay. Donating 100% of my income (a number larger than $22/mo) was not the issue being discussed in this post.


It was, because every "content provider" wants your subscription.

How many links that you clicked on from HN today are asking for a subscription, and how many have you supported?


Can't deny it increased transparency,nowadays I consciously visit a website knowing I am tracked by a few thousand add services

Unfortunately there is no correct approach since both sloppy and overengineered codebases backfire. What helps me find balance is following the philosophy of 1. Make it work 2. Make it right 3. Make it fast


The results may widely vary based on the context, but often writing something from scratch is easier than refactoring something existing.


Found the choice of words "Get a free scan" on their website button funny. My first involuntary thought was - it is a scam.


It's super annoying. We also have that when e.g. trying to emphasize what we're doing to protect your privacy, since "caring about your privacy" has become distorted to mean its opposite at least in my mind.



I found it extremely entertaining to follow the twitter epopeea around Lk99 topic. Apparently the Iris posts were not just empty words and trolling.


Epopee/epopea/epopeia is epic [Greek] poetry. That's a new word for me.


Had to refresh the page more than a couple times as I was not able to scroll passed the first “video” only to realize I have to keep scrolling to get to the article. I genuinely thought the website is broken
