What I get from the article is that only is the pay lower, there is no longer an “up to” part in the contract. Meaning you don’t get paid anything until you’ve created the full 500 videos. Meaning you can’t use it as a side hustle, it is a full time job.

I even think she didn’t navigate, but websurfed on the information highway

After clicking on several of the many, many links in that article, that without exception all lead to completely unrelated topics, I’m still left with the question: what was the reason kids were stuck on the bus till 10p.m.?

And as always: vote with your wallet. Stay if you find the new price acceptable, cancel if you don’t. There are alternatives, both in streaming and on the High Seas.

USD 16,99 should be around 15.40 euro. The announcement mail told me it was going to be 18 euro, or about 20 dollar. What could cause this?

You missed out on Mosaic? My main Gopher browser back in the early '90s.

I liked the idea of circles. I’m part of multiple social circles and what might be interesting for one could very well be meaningless for another circle.

Oh, I fully agree the mother and daughter should have used a platform that doesn’t harvest data. Facebook is famous for harvesting every scrap of data it can, and abusing it for as much money as they can. Zuck has no conscience whatsoever, and has proven to value money over lives.

Isn’t this just “Facebook complied with court order”? I dislike their data hoarding like everyone else, but I also think Facebook doesn’t get to decide to ignore court orders.

I’ve stopped using LinkedIn because it keeps defaulting to Relevant instead of Recent, and Relevant apparently means posts from 2 weeks ago. But at least there you can manually set it to Recent every time.

A social medium where sorting by Recent is impossible will be a no-go.
