    I see it this way: If there are enough dumbasses willing to pay, go for it. I choose not to participate. OTOH, idiots paying subscriptions can hurt us all through enshittification.

    On Nextdoor.com I brought it up that Trump’s admin was trashing NOAA and the NWS, which we literally live and die by in Florida. One woman was quite proud to pay $15 for her Accuweather app. “And where do you think they get their data?”

      Damn these smart capitalists figured out how to get a weather satellite into space for that cheap? No wonder socialism failed/s

      For real tho it reminds me of that joke about libertarians being like cats. Also $15/mo feels way to high for weather updates
