I have also thought about that. Jon Ossof seems like the most likely primaries and general election winner. But AOC is also polling strong, second place in democrat primaries. The democratic party is almost split 50/50 between moderate and progressive wing, so it would make sense to have some sort of compromise ballot, where better polling moderate is the president, second best polling AOC is the VP, so both wings of the dems get something out of it.

I always select other and type in a minus sign or something. I am not doing unpaid labor of highlighting what’s wrong with YOUR publicly traded for-profit corporation to help YOU earn more money by screwing us over. It’s just not fair to help out a corporation for free that would never help out you for free, and would actually do all the agressive capitalist tactics in the book to extract more from you.

And that’s if any of them even care to read this feedback, since they only care about shareholders’ feedback nowadays, not UX. Otherwise we wouldn’t have enshittification.

I am still happy to help out for free if it’s a non-profit or privately owned company, and/or helpful, or a FOSS project. They deserve that stuff.

Why is it a bad deal? I understand roughly that subscriptions are terrible for your wallet and the less subscriptions you have the better. But streaming overall, it’s hard for me to point to a specific issue. Not saying there isn’t any.

No. Shifting blame from the corporation onto the consumer is bad, actually.
