I like Apple and I like Jon Stewart. I thought the show was only OK. There were some really good segments, but I think overall it was underdeveloped. I felt that the editing was often "rushed" and sometimes awkward, presumably to get the episode to fit into the 1hr time slot. I would have liked to see them explore some of the subject matter a little more deeply, but at the same time I get that something longer would probably be a non-starter for most people.

I would have thought developers escrowed any advance they receive for services for just this situation. Guess that's not the case, hunh? 

I'm not really a fan of the subscription model, but at least if you're paying small amount every month and Reddit pulls the rug out from under you like they did the with API fees, then you cancel and it's over. If you paid a year in advance or a one-time/lifetime purchase then you're out even more.

You're also talking about making developers bridge the gap in the event that an API they use decides to change their ToS. I don't think that's something they should necessarily be responsible for.

Just great. Another streamer adds a service I don't want and charges me for it.

Remind anyone of cable bundles?

I’m not understanding this comment. If you don’t to pay, then cancel your subscription. Nobody is forcing you to subscribe.

You’re still free to subscribe to any other service you want. You do not have to subscribe to this abomination to have other services. Cancel it and send your money to a service you like, like Paramount+ or Hulu+ or Disney+ or ATV+ or even Netflix. 

The point is if you currently have HBO and they add Discovery and increase the price, that is a bummer. I agree.
