Hmmmm but it’s true


Don’t let companies trick you into this manipulative marketing trick

There’s got to be a name for this

What they don't tell you is comcast either outright owns those programers or they own the content on those channels. So you can drop cable but you're still paying cable companies.

No i know a site were i can watch every movies and TV shows for free 😌
@DeluxedEdition I like Tubi and Pluto, but FreeVee crashes on me a lot, I'll be halfway through a movie when it suddenly stops and it goes back to my Roku homescreen during or after a commercial, or it'll freeze.

@NativePortlander1970 i personally just don't like freevees content. I mostly watch tubi and youtube
@DeluxedEdition FreeVee is essentially Prime Lite, Amazon's non subscription channel. I sub to youtube premium, it's ad free, allows me to download to my devices, as well as listen to tunes with my devices on standby.

It's called subscription.

I’m curious if there’s a name for this particular marketing strategy

Sell items by placing them at lower prices but you’re selling them individually

Bundling is a marketing strategy when companies package several of their products or services together as a single combined unit, often for a lower price than they would charge customers to buy each item separately.

So you can call it de-bundling.

The government has a role, here, but in fascist America, nobody allows it to protect you.

"Capitalism" 🫠

@DeluxedEdition Russia went from communism to far-right ultraconservative authoritarian capitalism and it's the same corrupt cesspool as before lol, it's almost like taking dictatorial countries to prove a point in favor or against a certain economic system doesn't work. "Communist" China until not too long ago was poised to overtake the US economy within the end of the century.

About the price of bread / salary ratio you're getting there too, except through the capitalist pathway.

In any case, I'm not here to defend one system over the other. You asked a name for the behavior in the post and I've simply provided it 😜

@Elessar actually, Russia became a communist country because they Went through a communist revolution as well, which was first initiated by socialism
Elessar · 26-30, M
@DeluxedEdition Communism became popular because they had enough of the Tzars, that were pretty much absolute monarchs like the kings of France before their revolution. But this is one century ago, now the current regime (post 1990) has absolutely nothing of communism, it's a far-rightwing authoritarian hellhole hyper focused on "traditional values", and arguably the country functions even worse than when it was communist.

It's the place that is ungovernable, it doesn't matter which system you implement over there it'll fail spectacularly.
