While it’s called a TIP, it’s not. Nor is it a bribe imo. It’s “door dash is too lazy to pay their driver’s a fair rate, so here is where you come in…” The higher the amount you put in there, the more likely your order will be received And delivered in a timely manner.
If door dash just paid their people properly, this issue wouldn’t exist but they feel the need to maximize their profits instead of doing what’s right for both their employee and customers.
Fuck it. I’ll just say this instead. It’s time to break up the tech monopolies. Google, Microsoft, etc.
To the Moon.
It’s a short story that’s made into a game. The gameplay piece of it is minimal, but it’s all about the story. I can’t say too much about it buts it’s an absolutely beautiful story with SNES style graphics that reminds me of the movie Arrival.
Had me speechless… Didnt know how to exist for a few after…
You’d be surprised how things can change, and quickly. It’s not going to be a overnight win for another platform. It’s going to have to start from the ground up, in probably a decentralized way, but it can happen.
We don’t know that yet. I dislike Kotick as well, but doubtful that much changes from the monetization standpoint of the company.
From a purely morale standpoint, it’s mostly a W. But it’s not like Kotick isn’t getting his golden parachute and wiping his tears away with $100 bills.
They’re serving ads just fine. They’re now targeting those that don’t want the ads and actively try to avoid them. That’s the main difference.
Plenty of ways. Targeting your most intensive tech crowd is not the way to do it. You want the masses that don’t actively try and block their stupid ads. This will eventually bite them in the ass harder then it’s currently doing.
We’ve replaced Kotick with Microsoft lol
These ad block users should be considered the cost of doing business and they should be careful with targeting them.
This kind of thing springs users into action to either find or use work arounds or create a alternative platform.
With my recent issues of sleeping horizontally lately, this seems like something interesting to try.
I told everyone that once contracts for cell phones were replaced with payment plans, companies would start gouging their customers with higher phone prices because the customers could now “afford” it.
Greedy ain’t the right word imo.
Have you looked at your phone recently? That’s all that thing is unless you literally don’t use it for anything other than calls and texts, and even then, phone manufacturers are constantly constructing their OS to guide you to other functions.
This is my same argument for gun ownership as well. While I’m not against people owning guns, to think that us civilians would survive any decent length of time of the government finally came down on us is laughable.
I appreciate it. I’m better now but I found it kind of comical lol
No, the way it is currently is any time someone in the news that is seemingly healthy but has a major heart issue (for example Bronny James) they immediately jump and say “IT WAS THE VACCINE!”.
What are the odds I see this shit right after having a stent put in…
High positions of power/money/fame tend to attract those types unfortunately.
I left out of principle but there are a few communities I’ll scan from time to time because they don’t quite exist here and I don’t have the energy to make it myself.
What they meant to say was “We didn’t have the foresight to monetize these heavy users, so we will be doing that now. But first we’ll create the problem…”
But the second you steal money from them, youll be only trial for your life pretty darn quick.
