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

[–] flames5123@lemmy.world 5 points 10 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.

[–] GhostTheToast@lemmy.world 35 points 10 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

[–] Elkenders@feddit.uk 6 points 10 months ago

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

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 25 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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

[–] Moonrise2473@feddit.it 20 points 10 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

[–] onelikeandidie@lemmy.world 2 points 10 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

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

This is desktop only though right?

[–] onelikeandidie@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

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

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I'll check it out thanks

[–] winkerjadams@lemmy.dbzer0.com -3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

You know there are free hosting websites right?

[–] lud@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The convenience is surely worth it for some.

[–] winkerjadams@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 10 months ago

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

[–] retro@infosec.pub 5 points 10 months ago

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

[–] Chozo@kbin.social 13 points 10 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.

[–] Froyn@kbin.social 10 points 10 months ago

Because you might cancel it.

[–] ruckblack@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] regbin_@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

There's also higher quality live streaming.

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] joenforcer@midwest.social -4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 2 points 10 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

[–] lud@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Mega is the worst though.

A pain to download from with very limited download caps.

[–] BarrierWithAshes@kbin.social 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Aatube@kbin.social 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

ackshtually it's react native

[–] BarrierWithAshes@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

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

[–] crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz 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.

[–] zipzoopaboop@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

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