Monopolistic abuse by Google and Apple taking rent form every mobile app.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Huh? You can buy it from the app. Therefore they don’t care about the 30% fee. They’re doing this just to spite you and make it difficult to cancel.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ehh, I'm sure it's something like if they let you manage your subscription through the play store, Google is entitled to their 30% cut. If you subscribe through desktop, they'd like to keep 100% of the money opposed to 70%. Might be off base, but I'd wager that's the reason

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

But they're saying you can buy through the app. It's desktop to cancel.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Because more obstacles in your way like this give you more opportunity to get discouraged and just leave the subscription active longer.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago

Did you actually purchased the subscription on the app, or you just mean that it's possible to do so?

If you subscribed somewhere else, the monopolistic owners of the app stores explicitly forbid to manage subscriptions in that case.

If you subscribed on the app, just cancel in the play store, subscription panel (I never subscribed to any app, I boycott software with subscriptions)

I pay to be able to share larger files

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (2 children)

You know you can use Vencord or BetterDiscord to do this for free right? You just get the magic-upload plugin and you're good

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

This is desktop only though right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

If you're on Android, you can use Aliucord with the UITH plugin

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I'll check it out thanks

[–] [email protected] -3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

You know there are free hosting websites right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The convenience is surely worth it for some.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Surely. Information is also good to have for those uninformed but apparently people didn't like how I worded it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Gofile, Pixeldrain, Fileditch, Filen, Files.fm, Mediafire, Mega, MegaUp. I'm sure the list goes on.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

I could've sworn this practice was recently outlawed? If not, it 100% should be. If you can buy a subscription from one location, you should be able to cancel it from the same location. I feel like I remember reading about a case recently regarding notoriously hard-to-cancel gym memberships resulting in a requirement that you could cancel subscriptions whenever and wherever you wanted, but maybe I'm misremembering.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

Because you might cancel it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Why do people pay a monthly subscription to use animated emojis lmao

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

For me, its exclusively to be able to share larger files through it

[–] [email protected] -4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Imagine paying for bigger uploads on Discord when Mega is free.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

It's especially images and videos that load in the actual channel. I too use mega, Dropbox, one drive, Google drive etc but yeah I pay to not have to upload there, and share the link to that. Call me lazy

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Mega is the worst though.

A pain to download from with very limited download caps.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

There's also higher quality live streaming.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Doesn't even make sence because the app is just chromium. Theres no way it cant render the manage page.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

ackshtually it's react native

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Oh. Well even if it was electron damn thing is so bloated it should be able to render the page

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Cause discord is stupid af, move to xmpp/irc/matrix.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The thing though is, that the communities I'm in don't just move.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Completely understandable problem, same for me where I have managed to move some smaller part of my community to xmpp but most would want to move to matrix.

With the way things are in my communitty I will prob just selfhost matrix server just to see how it goes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

At least you don't have to mail in a request to quit I guess
