I know from experience some of these apps use mac address to enforce the free trial period (e.g., download 3 things for free then be forced to pay). If you have a means to install it in a vm and change the mac...

overall yt accounts for about 75-80% of my households streaming on a tv

By all means, you do you...but if I were watching that much yt, I'd probably want to upgrade to a Shield or something else I could slap
SmartTube on and stop the recurring/increasing payments.

Yeah, a big part of the appeal of reddit was being anonymous. I signed up without even using an email address, and being able to do that was a most of why I was willing to create my account in the first place.

I'm on an Xperia 1 III for the same reason. It's been a fantastic phone, and I'm only now realizing how old it's gotten by noticing they're up to V.

I saw them complaining about another user by name doing the same to them yesterday or the day before. I remember because I clicked through, noticed it was going both ways, and thought it was stupid to bitch about something while doing it as well.

Spot on. Even when they've been caught doing things most people thought was shady (e.g., last year's /r/place manipulation), they tend to not outright deny it, but rather admit it and offer a half-assed explanation and end the conversation at that.

They wouldn't do something that flagrantly disregards EU/CA privacy laws. If they did it, they'd have have a justification they thought would hold up in court. If they had a justification that held up in court, they'd happily plop it in a comment that's pinned with a few dozen rewards and ignore any responses after that.

Anyone whose purchased Russian oil in the past couple decades?

I wound up moving entirely to Plex and it's janky Tidal integration because of that use case. Too much local/obscure music out there to not be able to add my own tracks.

Wow, what shitty behavior and shitty response in that post. The more interaction with reddit admins I witness, the happier I am with my decision to stop using the site.

and for something dumb too

What something was that?

At least we could all collectively stop worrying about the climate stuff, right?

Google Play Music days and it’s evolution.

I take offense to to this phrasing, as it implies GPM grew and improved. It didn't evolve; it died and was replaced by an inferior product.
