Techbros just needed to use the search engine optimization buzzword tbh.

Really wish the term virtual intelligence was used (literally what it is)

Online features, like the Brotherhood multiplayer, or those annoying older ads to use the mobile app while playing. The game itself can still be played.

Some of you are city dwellers and it shows

Good cherry picking about “current mix” and not something along the lines of “current cleanest mixes”

I can see your point, but I am also tired of pointing to CEO salaries and thinking that reducing them will make any meaningful increase on company wide salaries.

There’s always making cost scalable to reported profit. It’s annoying to see a company like Amazon make so much but pay employees so little because it’s"competitive pay" to the business they’re ruining through monopoly.

It’s better to place the burden on the company as a whole per revenue than per CEO pay differential. Amazon for example made somewhere in the 500 billion dollars in revenue for 2022 but for all ~1.5m employees only spent ~42 billion on salaries for an average of ~28k a year.

They have so much ample revenue to use for increased salaries that goes unanswered.

Yeah this isn’t Spotify’s fault really. It’s a cringe over prostitution of the industry with increased server cost, record studios asking more in premiums, and growing pains from increased salaries. It’s unfortunate we can’t ever just let something exist for the sake of general good without the greedy asking for their take when it becomes popular.

I worked on the river so I got used to every southern and local accent as the line boats came through.

Also from IL, southern. Near StL. The accents change like a proximity ring the further or closer you get to downtown, and even then going Ozarks MO is still different from Troy IL.

Pretty bad doomerism takes here.
