My analogy isn’t terrible, it’s spot fucking on. You just use the ice maker & wouldn’t want to lose it so you’ve attached more value to it than the Anova App.
Does the refrigerator not refrigerate without the ice maker? You didn’t buy an ice maker, you bought a refrigerator.
No one is pissed about the device not working. People are pissed that Anova is taking away a FEATURE.
Anova App = Feature included in original purchase price
Ice Maker = Feature included in original purchase price.
This isn’t about the value of what’s being taken away. It’s about the principle of taking away something that was already paid for.
If Anova wants a subscription based model, they’re welcome to it, but…
Their current customers did not buy into a subscription model & have the absolute right to be pissed off about being forced into one.
You haven’t been paying much attention to the current state of journalism, have you?
Twitter is a decent portion of their revenue stream, and given that none of us want to pay them for their efforts, what do you suggest they do?
Those clicks are their livelihood & we’re all sitting here reading the article pasted directly to this thread.
WE, INCLUDING YOU, ARE COMPLICIT IN THIS TOO.
E: “I don’t wanna pay for the news, I want journalists to forgo their living & only post their work on sites I’m actually willing to steal their content from”
Keep on downvoting children. Y’all suck as humans.
