No ads or tracking across all Meta platforms/pixels? I'd say that's worth $20/month.

Yep, I'd consider paying more, even. There's a reason their products are so engaging and sticky—they're enjoyable to use! And they'd be significantly more enjoyable if you didn't have the Eye of Sauron watching yo

YouTube Premium has a clear value prop though w/no ads—I’m still not sure what I’m getting for Meta Verified… a blue check? Direct support if I (probably won’t) need it? Twitter Blue now allows for longer tweets, and there is (or at le

See, I don’t mind this process. It gives you a chance to re-evaluate what is actually giving you value. It’s like spring cleaning. It’s the same reason I enjoy setting up a new or freshly reformatted phone or laptop. Feels good to clean out

Apollo is so popular that API revocation would lead to a category 5 shitstorm among power users. I personally prefer Narwhal on iOS, but if I were forced to use native Reddit app—or really anything resembling ‘new’ Reddit—I’d immediately le

I rage quit when they raised the price to $65/month with no grandfathered legacy pricing. I joined when it launched at $35/month, and it was amazing . While perhaps loss-leading, it was an unbeatable deal for cable TV, which I ba

Jitterbug Perfurme, like most of Tom Robbins' novels, is just filled with gold nuggets on every page. Reading him is like eating mushrooms and strolling through the garden of eden.

This is my question. I've hired Matter as my Read It Later app, and it works great. They do seem to be putting some of their premium features behind a paywall, which is annoying, but I'm relatively happy with the app. Would love t

I've been experimenting with a new podcast app Snipd, which purports to do this: https://www.snipd.com/ It doesn't yet have an Apple Watch app though, and since (I assume like you) I listen to podcasts while out o

I've long said that a USB-C iPhone with Google Assistant as default would be my dream phone. Santa EU seems to be bringing me the gift I've always wanted.

I do have to say there is something innately refreshing about putting on a vinyl record, and not having my listening habits tracked by an algorithm. The other day, I happened to have some cash in my pocket and used that to buy a coffee, ins

I'd say reddit is a far more robust archive of conversational data. Tweets are engineered to be entertaining or informative in small bits, typically designed for maximal impact and/or clout. Sure, reddit has a karma system that in

No Logic on iPad and the sunsetting of Music Memos... I sometimes feel like Apple is becoming hostile to musicians.

They seem to spar off each other. Apple is notorious for hanging back and refining new tech, Android is faster to innovate, ship, and iterate. They’ve both got their pros and cons, innovations and derivatives. Neither are really ‘underdogs’

If you figure it out, let me know. I'm a content marketer recently laid off, and I've been dabbling in learning Python in my downtime as a general interest but also as a horizontal skill that... may prove helpful? In the meantime,

In case you haven't already read it, one of the greatest reddit comments/threads of all time goes into great detail exactly how fucked you are if you win—and what you can do about it: https://old.reddit.com/r/

My favorite pricing model is by the note-taking app Agenda[0]. It's called a Cash Cow[1] model—you make a one-time purchase, which allows you updates for the next year. At the end of the year, you can either purchase another year of up

It's kinda like listening to music on vinyl vs. digital. High quality digital is clearly superior sonically, but vinyl has a dullness around the edges that is so aesthetically pleasing. I agree that the Hubble images are just pleasant

It's true. I made an account last year and made a video just to try it out—a video of me playing guitar as my toddler climbing all over me making it very difficult to play. It was pretty cute, I posted it. 105,000+ views and 111 commen

I am absolutely caught in a loop between refreshing reddit, hopping to twitter, hopping to Instagram, and then back to reddit — a cycle that takes just long enough for all three platforms to re-popluate with more content. It's not heal

Last weekend, I ordered a Nintendo Switch OLED from my apartment in NYC, and picked it up at the 4-Star store in SOHO less than 30 minutes later. It was an awesome experience, and I'm sad that this might be the last time I get immedia

Been using it for a while, it's very cool. I'd love an Apple Watch app, as a lot of my post-fatherhood podcast time is on the rare occasions I'm able to get out for a run. But in general, Snipd takes a good crack at solving a

Every sober night ends exactly the same. You get tired, you say goodbye to the people still staying out, you go home, drink water, and go to bed. Drunken, joyful reverie without inhibition is living poetry. Sobriety is admirable, important,
