In 2021 at its height it was valued at almost 5b, yeah it's nose dived a LOT.

I didn't know how much broadcast.com was bought for tho, that is pretty nuts.

What do parents do then when they're working since childcare in the US is fucked

It's possible he knew more about yahoos future rather then specifically about his particular product being bad.

Internet radio was absolutely a thing, think iheartradio, it's fucking massive now, sure their main business isn't internet radio anymore, but it's not like there was absolutely nothing of value there.

For "every station can just make their own site" sure, but look at the state of streaming services to see how that ends up panning out. Not to mention the difficulty and ongoing costs associated with that, especially back then, much less plug and play stuff.

Not saying I support Cuban, he's definitely part of the class that constantly exploits us, just had some specific critiques lol.

In my experience it has more to do with how much less frequently issues happen and/or how often you need to go manually move files/folders around. Just not nearly as much need imo.

Similar situation with mobile devices, I remember rooting/roming/jailbreaking being much more common in the past.

I'd suggest it's directly in response to the police of the city stating there was no evidence to support Trumps claim, rather then just rolling over, now they get to investigate a bunch of bomb threats, maybe in the future a police department won't "speak out against" a claim Trump makes due to fear of similar harrasment

I didn't comment on the requirement or not, I just know I added my number long ago and have had my account for 8 years

There's no body shaming in the message you're replying to

Unless there's a multiplayer aspect where it gives an unfair advantage, while it might be a bit unsavory and potentially predatory, I think being able to get those mtx in game "legit" without it being a slog is honestly much less shitty then other MTX I've seen.

It's kinda like saying it's weird we want Boeing or Raytheon to fail, these are companies that screw us over in the name of profit.

For what it's worth, I've had my discord account for like 8 years at this point and have never received a text from them. I guess they might have sold it off somewhere but i get more political spam then anything else lol
