I think governmental organizations should do the same. It’s absurd that FEMA or whoever essentially has to rely of Elon’s goodwill.
Thanks, that’s really interesting. The cancellation process used to be much more straightforward. I wonder when they changed it.
I’m curious how difficult it is to cancel a Prime membership nowadays. I’ve canceled twice in the past, and as I recall it was just a matter of clicking an easy to find link. Has the process changed?

You’re right, of course, but the person you’re replying to is also correct in that the firing of Victoria years ago was an early indication that Reddit seems to have decided as a matter of principle that it will not under any circumstances pay anyone to manage content.

I wish the micropayments model people were proposing twenty years ago had taken off. I don’t have any interest in subscribing to The New York Times, for example, because I just don’t read it very much, but I wouldn’t object to paying a few cents every time I happened to read one of their articles.
