It's really one of the worst things brought over from reddit

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I like to imagine people doing that in an every day conversation. It's ridiculous. No one would ever talk to them lol

Seems like a friendly enough response was given to your comment and you automatically assumed they were only interested in saying you're wrong.

Having a discussion is not "proving everyone wrong"

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Especially when they were wrong. They're obviously going to pass along any actual cost they have one way or another.

That's not what's shady or what's being addressed. It's the $60 ***(plus $100 in unlisted fees we literally won't even let our support provide or estimate on signup) to lie about prices that's the problem.

I recommend reading either the quoted text, or the article. Preferably both.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I did. "Passing on costs" is entirely irrelevant to everything.

The entire point of all of this is that service providers are using nebulous fee structures to lie about pricing. That's the entire thing. There is nothing else.

Um, do you only have conversations with people who agree with you?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

People in real life don't nitpick every word you say.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

No, that's fair. But also, when you're conversing in "real life", people probably aren't paying that much attention to every word you say and don't care enough to "nitpick".

I think it's worse here on Lemmy tbh

Edit: wait fuck did I just do it by accident?
