Just read The Dark Knight Returns over and over again.

It can’t be overlooked as a factor, but I don’t think it would account for less than a third of those who jumped ship. The vocal minority is always over-reported. More than likely, they lost a lot of these customers when they started doing "auto suspensions" due to inactivity and I guarantee that feature will vanish now that the numbers are dropping, and they will move to complicate the unsubscribe/"customer retention" mechanisms.

I sure hope that Verge/Netflix joint doesn’t get canned.

"This NFT fad is dying, quick, launch this feature."

I think there may be a better reason for this sudden hold: https://twitter.com/steveniweiss/status/1525072168073191424

tl;dr He didn’t want to use his own cash to buy Twitter if the Tesla stock permitted. The price dipped.

It’s clear that the shuffling of chairs is due to the Elon deal and Parag is trying to save his own ass/maintain some exec position when the deal closes.

They’re over the waterfall and paddling in mid air thinking they can fly.

I knew Twitter was pretty rudderless before the big news a few weeks back, but jesus christ. I don’t know if I should do like the comment above and be all accelerationist in the hopes it causes Twitter to implode, or not.

We’re finally seeing the long-term impact of COVID and Unionization efforts impact releases. I’d say take your time, but Bethesda Game Studios and ‘polish’ don’t belong in the same sentence.

What are the odds 90% of these products live to avoid the Google Graveyard?

Says he’s on the same page but wants to unban Trump. Okay bro.

Sad but not surprising. The prices for iPod Touches is already increasing on Amazon.

That said, I wish The Verge would turn comments on some articles so we can dunk on some people’s heads.

I didn’t even know of these websites until today. Good job judge. Good fucking job.

One of Tudum’s former writers has their own prescription for how Netflix can stop the losses. "Stop canceling shows that people like, stop green-lighting so many ridiculous shows that nobody’s gonna watch, and stop raising the price," they say. "That’s what’s making people get rid of their subscriptions. And they’re doing everything else but that."

And that’s all that needs to be said about how to fix Netflix.

As someone who played Eve quite a bit, we’re reaching high levels of peak irony.

You think Google is gonna sue Sonos over the smart assistant patents that Google certainly has on file?

You don’t keep digging when you’re in a hole.

"We can’t make any guarantees after the sale, though."

Avatar was just a really good movie that didn’t age well, due to its use of VFX and pretty wooden storytelling. Can Big Jim weave gold out of cotton again? I’m not holding my breath.

I’d love to see Mr. Freeze get his dues in the sequel, but I wouldn’t mind a Court of Owls or Hush either.

usually from someone who hasn’t created a fucking thing.

Ah yes this old chestnut: They didn’t make anything so their opinion is worthless.

Breaking news: Nobody has to make anything to know if its good or bad.

Oh boy. A VTuber on my phone. That’s just great.

Congrats! Don’t let it get to your head, Elon.
