Why The Internet Is Starting To Break | Asmongold Reacts

Paying money to still see ads…The absolute state of it.

I swear to God, if I were to cancel my Netflix subscription some day in the future, it might actually say, "Your sister really likes binging this show. Are you sure you want to deny her that?"

I litterally got fired from tech support, because I didnt try to do upsells, but tried to fix the customers problems instead. It really is messed up

I usually just cancel my free trials immediately after accepting the trial. If they are extra scummy though, they won't let you use the time once you cancel, but most places do still allow you to use the free trial time. Just think of cancelling as part of the free trial process

Ad revenue is drying up. Pay walls everywhere!

Pro tips: Pirate media. cancel subscriptions immediately. use ad block. dont use uber or door dash unless necessary/only order from places that deliver themselves instead of through a third party

Worked as a CSR at ATT around 10 years ago. Can confirm Zach’s upsell story. They didn’t care about fixing people’s issues. They only cared about selling their U-Verse service.

33:23 Genshin Impact by Mihoyo does this dark pattern. When you uninstall it, it shows up a message begging you to not uninstall with a crying character

Even worse on many subscription sites now is that when you select cancel, they bring you to a page that lists all the benefits and says "Keep Subscription" as a big bright button. And then you literally can't find the confirm cancellation because its almost the exact same color as the background and is tiny size 9 text at the bottom of the page. Its insane.

Thomas Sowell said, the biggest enemy of business is the businessman.

If anyone sends you to retention instead of canceling your subscription, just tell them your going to federal prison for tax evasion. They always cancel my subscription after that.

-Calls spectrum for technical support -Gets a representative in another country with an accent i can't understand. -Calls to cancel service -Gets charismatic person who speaks perfect english trying to sell me a phone.

Okay, one thing : Uber/Doordash driver here. When you pay for priority that only means you get your order first. It does not mean you get your delivery in 10 minutes, or 15 minutes. If you are priority it means you are the 1st person I drive to. You get no other special privileges. I don't care what the app promises you. Also beware. The driver could also know the other person address and could deliver to them first anyways. As well as they could be multi apping and have another to stack with yours going your direction. TLDR : Priority delivery is a scam. Don't buy it. Waste of money.

In Baltimore we call it hacking a Uber, that’s when you find a driver you like and get their direct contact info. The driver gets all the cash I get a ride for half price Win Win for me and driver Alil loss for the app

I can't use Uber anymore because I randomly got charged a $150 cleaning fee that I refused to pay.

I'm in Canada here, and when talking about Amazon pre-selecting the 'alternative delivery time' option, it is 100% true. My next day delivery (with prime) was unselected and the alternative one was. It does seem to be hit and miss though. Sometimes its there, sometimes it's not. It may be a situation where the item you're getting wasn't originally 'available' for next-day shipping but a particular deal/sale made it so and it was a 'new' option that wasn't normally available because the item usually needed to be imported.

This is the Cyberpunk story. The only remaining on the plot is for a Ai to malfunction (or rogue or anything you call it), to crash the entire Internet. Considering how much the economy is dependant on the Internet imagine the fallout.

Prime video just started charging an extra $3 or $4 a month JUST to not have ads even though we already pay an insane amount every year for Amazon Prime. Insane.

i have 0 subscrbtions. i pirate everything.

funny enough, some companies now cancel your sub right away when you cancel. Adobe e.g. if you have a monthly payment subscription for 1 year, they let you cancel within that year but you have to pay for whatever is still up for the year but cancel your access that same day.
