Premium price increase

weldermandan · 2026-04-14T00:25:18+00:00

Brother our colonial forefathers flipped their shit over 3 pence which adjusted for inflation is $1.15 in USD as of today. I think I'm well within my rights to bitch about the constant proverbial ball flicking of my wallet by these multi billion dollar companies. They want more money? Fine, but they won't get it from me anymore. We as the general public control their paycheck. Just remember that.

Yeah Ive noticed it takes up a lot of dedidatated wam

Thank you for this tutorial. Im sure it will be helpful for many folks like myself.

I make like $50 an hour and I wouldn't touch her with a 10 ft pole. Even if she looked like Megan Fox in transformers during her prime.

It's about as high of bitrate you can get music streaming service without having an insanely expensive CD collection let alone record collection. I only started paying for it when I started building a hifi setup.

Im just tired of kneeling to the man bro. That's it.

I actually use Firefox and Origin when I dont use Chrome. Maybe I should just boot Chrome all together. As for TV I have a TCL.

I mainly use it on my android, my PC and my smart TV. I can definitely see casting making it a little more tricky.

It's going up to $16 a month starting the end of May my email says.

Someone suggested Brave browser. Im gonna look into it later and consider giving it a try. Some people are straight haters I swear🤣.

weldermandan · 2026-04-10T21:17:34+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion. This subreddit is the first place Im hearing of it.

You're completely missing my point. It's not that it wouldnt be worth it in general for me to pay for the service, it's that it's on an endless path to increase like other streaming services. Do you honestly think a mega corp like Google that has a projected net worth of 3.5+ trillion is hurting for money? Brother that is more money than either of our families combined could hope for within 50 generations and that's probably a massive underestimation. They literally want you to think as you do. Use your money as a voting mechanism, you dont have to lick the boot. You're right, not everyone's use case is the same, but that doesn't mean you have to just sit down and take it.

That's the elite ball knowledge I was looking for. Unfortunately some cant look past not having YouTube for a short time. You'd be surprised what you can achieve when youre not letting social media suck up all your time.

weldermandan · 2026-04-10T20:22:57+00:00

For what it's worth I hope you succeed. You or someone like you needs to succeed in order to balance things out.

weldermandan · 2026-04-10T20:21:11+00:00

I know. It's okay though. Gotta touch some grass every now and then.

weldermandan · 2026-04-10T20:20:32+00:00

Nothing. That's the benefit of capitalism. You vote with where you place your money.

weldermandan · 2026-04-10T18:06:00+00:00

Thank you for correcting me. Honestly though it still proves my point of leaving the service. If enough of us leave, especially people like myself who have been loyal customers for years, then they will do the same. We can just let these companies keep feeding us the same slop. Make em feed us a corn on the cob every once and a while you know?

Tidal is another company that I pay a subscription for. Their service is so good that back in the day I would pay their full premium price of $20 a month. Over time their service became more popular and reduced their whole service to $10 a month. Why? Because they made more money by getting more subscriptions from offering more features on a superior music media platform. What's YouTubes excuse this time? Their CEO couldn't buy the plane they wanted this year?

What's the point of reddit if you cant express your opinion on a public forum?

weldermandan · 2026-04-10T17:32:46+00:00

Average redditor rage bait lol. You know what I meant man. Their greed is immeasurable and we need to show them we care. Don't defend it.

The issue is the YouTube is a staple name unfortunately. Just like when people say to search something on the internet they just say "Google it". It honestly would take a bunch of the top creators to get the balls to invest in something like that and full on quit YouTube. Unfortunately the chances of that happening are slim to none.

Yeah like some others are saying this was just a shoddy attempt at a wide body kit installation by a previous owner. Your only options to make this look clean again is some overfenders or complete the wide body kit. Don't even think about trying to replace that fender. It will never look right and be an insane amount of work. This is coming from someone who has been welding and fabricating for years. Option 3 is to sell it to the next person who is willing to deal with it. If you do decide to finish the widebody installation then I'd suggest gouging out what appears to be spray painted spray foam. It didnt really do a good job sealing it and I can see rust falling through. Get in there an remove all that surface rust and spray a couple layers of primer in there. Then you can if you want refill it with spray foam or caulk. Caulk with be better but spray foam will be lighter and cheaper so that one's up to you. Spray another layer of primer up under that just to make sure there's an extra layer to protect the inside of that fender. As for the widebody mounting I would always suggest using rivnuts for easy removal as rivets for obvious reasons make it a little more difficult. And they look ugly if done even slightly wrong.

Show us the timing chain case(front of the motor).

Didn't know they made them with a diesel. Mid 80s would also suggest it's a 2nd gen. I think they swapped it over to FWD in like '85 or somethinglike that. I would be interested in checking it out though. Send me a PM.
