They have coupons every so often on holidays for their worldwide esims. I believe they have one going for Chinese New Years that makes 30GB for $80. The data also has a 2 year expiration that rolls over on any global data purchase.
Downside is their esims (mostly? all?) terminate in Singapore, so higher latency outside of the Asia region.
They aren’t just monetizing they are editing which content shows up in the API, so it’s not just a matter of passing on costs, it’s a question of driving users to the corporate platforms.
We need an open pledge with consequences for companies who offer APIs at this point. Like Twitter, Reddit is screwing their third party ecosystem for shareholder metrics that will help their valuation, and it seems like it’s the pattern over-and-over again.
The shittification of the user experience always happens when the investors want to get paid, and the third parties that invested their lives and livelihoods into the companies precious promises are holding the bag as always. I feel like Reddit used their third party developers and joe are straight up harvesting their efforts — what dev is ever going to want to do this again?
Makes it almost impossible to warrant the effort of building a third party API-based ecosystem. I wonder if that’s something that can be fixed with licenses or something?
1Blocker has released an update for all platforms which adds a script extension to block YouTube ads. Doesn't help in the YouTube app or on the AppleTV, which is most of my usage, but is nice on the Mac (with today's Safari 15 release).
A large part of the jailbreak user community is pretty young agewise. Lots of drama/immaturity/people quitting out of the scene due to toxicity. Some of the people crafting these released exploits into a functioning jailbreak are in college or below!
There's a pretty big piracy problem as well (not just cracked iOS apps, but also cracked paid tweaks released by devs for jailbreak devices) probably due to the younger ages without access to $.
It seems to not be hiding IP, but it does inadvertently(?) do so for some site's detection methods I think. When I did an IP lookup, some sites reported correct while others reported one I didn't recognize (assumed its the one from WARP).
