Google is killing its Pixel Pass subscription less than 2 years after launch. The plan bundled a phone with YouTube Premium, Google One (200GB), Google Play Pass, and the promise of a new phone every 2 years for monthly fees ranging from $45 to $55. But nobody will get that upgrade now. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/0

@jwildeboer I'm pretty confident that - Stream is neither idntical in packages and versions not guaranteed to be binary compatible.

I mean I've ran the numbers and when push came to shove it was cheaper to migrate a customer to @ubuntu and pay with hard 's than licensing @SUSE or even @redhat by a factor of 8 just by licening cost and even break-even if one were to account for > 1.000 hours of sysadmin time to do the migration...

@mgrass Personally I think that has to adapt and instead of toxic which only drives customers to that don't do that, they should embrace things like , and a regular button.

Or at the very least choose to make buying articles or an entire issue not more expensive and inconvenient as buying by having an easy option like @heiseonline.

Q: Why do ad-free tiers of subscriptions keep getting expensive?

A: It's math.

Say, a streaming service has 10mn users and makes ₹1000mn by showing them ads. Their ad-revenue per user is ₹100.

That means, ad-free tiers need to be AT LEAST ₹100 per user.

Suppose they price their ad-free tier at ₹110, which 5mn users take up.

But now, advertiser's only have 5mn eyeballs i.e. HALF the original reach.

So, advertisers up their offer to ₹120 per user.

🤷‍♂️

I'm taking @MonaApp for a spin, and I'm liking all the knobs to tweak.

There's one thing that is a bummer though: it's not subscription based, so I can't shake off the feeling that unless the fediverse continues expanding it will become unsustainable.

I see as a chance for an app to be around for the long run.

The best part of this article for me is the video with the actual button clicking. That's some 10/10 button clicking.

I can't help but think kids of the next generation are gonna look at our current goofy looking remotes and ask "what is this 'Netflix' button?" and "why doesn't it do anything?"
