Unfortunately that’s gonna be a problem with a lot of companies for a bit, not just Discovery. Writer’s strikes are often followed by a flood of cheap reality bullshit since it’s the only content studios can make with zero talented people involved.

Are you dense? You’re making the top pay rate 5 years in vs 22 years in. That’s 17 extra years of getting paid at the top rate. That’s a lot of money.
That’s like saying a Lamborghini is worse than a Honda because you don’t spend as much time accelerating in the Lambo.

Neither does the person you’re replying to. They probably just learned the term “loss leader” and thought they’d sound smart bringing it up but have no idea how the concept actually works in practice.

What negative press? They’re no longer going to do business in a particular market for completely normal reasons. This isn’t some kind of scandal, it’s a standard decision for a company to make if it isn’t profitable. Everyone besides you seems to understand this.
You clearly have no idea what you’re talking about.

How is remaining in an unprofitable market a “loss leader”?
Sometimes you gotta take a small loss for the overall benefit of the company/system.
You really don’t think Twitch did some analysis on this matter before making a decision? Or do you just figure that your uninformed assumptions about their financials are more accurate than their internal analysis?

Having to contact my doctor every 3 hours sounds exhausting.

Extremely popular. That rumor spread across North America like wildfire without any Internet to help it along on its journey.

Second episode is configuring SPECIAL stats. The rest of the series is installing and configuring mods.

It’s the same problem I have with people who want me to fix their computer. Any issues that come up at any time in the future, no matter how much time passed or how unrelated it is, was caused by “whatever I did.”
No, Aunt Karen, the malware you downloaded is not from me restarting your Wi-Fi adapter 3 years ago.
- Comment on Stardew Valley creator confirms he's made "a ton of progress" on update 1.6 1 year ago:
Indie devs:
So many people are still playing it, and many new people every day, I want it to be the best it can be
It will never be perfect, but I feel an urge to keep improving it. Up to this point, it’s been my life’s work, and I care a lot about it.
AAA companies:
So many people are still playing because exploiting poor impulse control and FOMO are at the core of game design philosophy. We want it to be the most profitable it can be
It will never be enjoyable, but we will make sure people feel the urge to keep logging in to grind their dailies so their purchase of a battle pass can be justified. Ever since we started allowing pre-orders it was already profitable, and we stopped caring about quality.

The OP: Hahaha I bet that guy is so upset!
The other guy: Ah, looks like someone else bid on that item. Glad I set my max to $55!

That’s completely false. There are plenty of things that are not allowed to be on YouTube already, and there’s always room to discuss what additional topics should be excluded from the platform.

Somebody should let the GOP know! Surely they wouldn’t want entire generations of people growing up to be ignorant, conspiracy believing assholes with no critical thinking skills!
