@tauon @miiamustang OFC I think #OpenStandards and #SelfHosting should be welcomed, but only as an add-on feature, not something mandatory to do basic functions.
- Espechally not the whole #Enshittification garbage with mandatory #Apps and #subscriptions and shit!
In one of those moods again where I attempt to purge all of my email subscriptions. I almost think I need a couple of addresses, one for newsletters, subscriptions, and online accounts, and another for personal communication. I am finding myself getting distracted whenever I go into my emails. #email #newsletter #subscriptions
It's amazing how there is more #content, and #streaming services than ever, but I feel, for myself, there is less content i am interested in watching.
No substance. Just quantity.

Meta Bringing Ads and Subscriptions to WhatsApp
#Meta Platforms Inc. will begin showing #Ads inside of its WhatsApp messaging service, opening a new potential revenue stream while the company invests heavily in artificial intelligence and other long-term projects.
Advertisers can also pay to promote their #WhatsApp Channel and give it prominent placement within the Updates tab...
As part of the advertising push, WhatsApp will also let Channel operators sell #Subscriptions, meaning they can create special messages just for a group of paying customers
When I posted yesterday about Frequency, the federated photo-sharing service;
https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/@strypey/114679152915697804
... various technical difficulties distracted me from the main thing I wanted to comment on. Which is the false dichotomy that digital services can either be paid for via ads, or individual subscriptions. As @jesseplusplus points out, the subscription model of apps can be collective rather than individual. That's the model for the Bridge Seat hosting co-op I've been working on.
Mastodon - NZOSSStrypey (@strypey@mastodon.nzoss.nz)#TIL about @frequency@frequency.app, a federated photo-sharing app;
"I'm trying to be very upfront. Like, OK you're going to have to pay for this service. But I really want to make it as affordable as possible. I want to give you options to pay for your family and friends, to bring everybody in if there's someone that can't pay for it ..."

Nice move @trakt. $60/yr?! Guess it’s time to leave.
Grandfathering doesn’t mean anything now. Companies just want more and more.

Curious, in the Subscription section of #Youtuibes's left sidebar suddenly does not shoe #TheDailyShow anymore. I have to go to All #Subscriptions. Neither did I subscribe to another channel since I last saw TDS nor would a channel I watch 4 to 5 times a week be the first choice to kick out of that menu. There are channels I haven't opened for weeks [b/c they haven't posted in months]..
Strange.

@meadow @ReignOfRaining I never liked #subscriptions.
Only #offline #PhysicalMedia are safe from #Enshittification and #theft by the publisher!
Please, stop #linking to #websites that require payment and/or email addresses. I'm getting tired of clicking on #articles and being blocked by a demand for my info or credit card. Just, stop it. #news #subscriptions
