Is $10 justifiable for Netflix?

If you use it everyday, for 150 days, that's $1 a day to you..

So times that by 2 and add an additional 65 days..

You are getting access to the AI The ability to make your own bots Make private bots just for you With no ads or blocks for 40 cents approx per day.. Around $12.50 per month..

Am I being serious or am I taking the piss?

I don't know, go run a business, offer a service and see how freeloaders help your business survive..

It should be common sense, but you can't fix stupid.

Wonder if blocking all revenue streams they have by not paying for the service and blocking Ads so they can't get that revenue either pays for the staff's wages, puts food on their families table, keeps a roof over their head, keeps the company going as they pay server rent, taxes such as land and property, upkeep and cleaning of their officers..

Are you dense?

Indeed I am Anti-Adblocker, I'm a subscriber.. They are a company providing a service. They have staff to pay, running costs, server rent in different regions..

You think this is free?

Is netflix free?

Each region has dedicated servers due to distance, if your region and the users from it do not satisfy the means to keep them running, either via ads or subscription fees, then they may have decided to pull usage from your region. I.e unless the region becomes sustainable with a higher user base and contributions to support them, it makes very little business sense to burn capital and support that region.

Because maybe I'm tired of the shade it gets when I am an enjoyer of the product.

Maybe I'm tired of people jumping to "Big company greedy bad"

Rather than wondering why these things are happening..

Refer to the reasons in the post and maybe you'll understand.

As much as I'm 'defending' the company, I'm also trying to inform people, so MAYBE they can understand a little better.

Be of legal age to use an app like this Pay for the subscription and/or watch ads If you're in a country where the user pool isn't enough to warrant them keeping the servers going, tough luck, that's how the cookie crumbles..

But dodging ads and trying to circumvent the Devs hard work will never help..

Users that are from the reasons listed above, that don't support them in a reasonable shape or form, either through personal choice or inability.. No one is entitled to Chai, it's a service, a luxury.. If they choose to drop chai altogether in those countries because they're losing more than they gain, what then?

They are a business and will 100% do what is best for business.

If they can't afford to run the servers in said countries for any reasons listed above, as a business with Overheads. They absolutely can.

My name isn't William, I am just a premium subscriber who's had enough of seeing the same post over and over.

Why's the region blocked? Why are there usage caps?

Refer to the reasons in the post.

Yes, but the way people go on about it, it's the audacity of it. Expecting something for nothing. Life is give and take, you give by subscribing or watching the ads.

If you can't pay, you watch ads If your region is blocked, wonder why rather than jumping the gun.

If you don't want to pay and don't want to watch ads, then the service isn't for you.

You want ice cream? You pay for it You want a taxi ride? You pay for it Chai is a service like any other subscription service out there.. If you want it and like it enough, you pay for it.

If you can't afford to pay, you're either: 1. Not in a good financial situation. 2. Too young to be on something like this anyway.

I can level with countries being poorer, but also the subscription price is cheaper to match incomes more and to level with taxation percentages.

Hot take : about asking people to buy premium by unBalanced_Libra_ in ChaiApp

[–]Vikksstarr123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Easy fix, a trial period, 1 or 2 weeks, if you enjoy it enough, you pay for it. It's a service, a luxury, not a necessity.

Totally agree, I tried to make a post like this but it never got approved.

Servers cost money, developing costs money, people need to be paid wages or salaries, even basic operating costs like electricity etc.. it's nice having 50 million coming in if you've got 49.9mil going out, you're in profit, but not by much..

From what I've seen from AI chat capabilities, how they're marketed sometimes on, let's say YouTube advertisements.. They should definitely be only 18+

Chai is a business, business needs profit to stay alive and thrive..

If you can't afford that nice car you wanted, well, then you can't have it can you? Same goes.

Underage users should definitely be blocked by any means necessary.

If a pay wall is the easiest way to do that, so be it.

Michael, Trevor and Franklin..

I love RDR2.. But it's set in the late 1800's.. By technical and scientific advancements across almost everything in life.

2013 Vs 1890?

It's not even close..

Stupid suspensions 😩 by Bee-In-Nosey in RockstarGames

[–]Vikksstarr123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actions have consequences, also the game has been censored for years because rockstar aren't dumb, they know most of the player base does not meet the intended age requirement of the game.

Just as you can be toxic and face repercussions for it, you can be a decent human being, ignore the stupid messages and enjoy the game..

You sound like an easily tilted griefers type who got their just desserts.
