    You don’t have to not use it. You just have to not consistently use the app for 6 months. This is not about the users. Its about the abuse of the users. Regardless of if they did or did not use it for 6 months, the company should not force things upon you at random. I don’t understand the mentality of attacking people who are ignorant of the evils companies do. We all walk different paths, and no one learns without being taught.

    We should not be shaming the consumers, but educating them. The blame is on the companies for making such a terrible product in the first place, the consumer only found out how bad it was after. Sometimes, you can no longer return a product because its X days out of policy.

    Not that I don’t completely agree with your sentiment, but to make people start advocating for themselves, you have to make them see you are a friend, and the company is the enemy.

    (not that the oop would ever see this post, comment or reply because who on twitter is also using lemmy, but you get it right?)



  • No ones getting emotional, however saying that phrase is a common tactic of people who are arguing in bad faith.

    However, I’ll entertain your “BUT- BUY SOURCE? SOURCE ? PEER-REVIEWD SOURCE PL0X” since you clearly don’t know how to use a search engine.

    Over the three years since 2019, the cost of food and drinks has escalated, particularly in the most recent year, with the prices of healthy foods and drinks increasing at almost double the rate of increase in prices of unhealthy items.

    https://www.cnbc.com/2023/12/27/healthy-foods-are-often-more-expensive-heres-why.html

    “The data very clearly says, there is this fixed high cost for fresh fruit and vegetable, which is not there for other products,” Thijs Van Rens, one of the authors of the Warwick study told CNBC

    https://extension.usu.edu/nutrition/research/does-healthy-eating-cost-more

    A recent study found that following the MyPlate Dietary Guidelines would cost a family of four between $1,000-$1,200 a month ($12,000.00-$14,400 annually) depending on the age of the family members and the percentage of fruits and vegetables that were fresh, frozen, and canned (Mulik & Haynes-Maslow, 2017). For a comparison, the average middle income family in the United States spends roughly $6,224 on food each year with the average low income family spending even less at roughly $3,862 per year (USDA, 2017). With this information in mind, following these recommendations may not be feasible for the typical family.

    And just for good measure let’s throw it back to you. I would love to see a source on how junk food is more expensive than vegetables in countries where obesity is an epidemic. That means no countries that actually tax processed foods to make the healthier option more affordable.

    Edit: and you think Im not going to go out and find the sources? Dumbass.

    I think its hilarious how before Trumps 2nd term, the libshits would argue "but if they use executive orders to push through {legalization of abortion, marijuana, socialized healthcare, public transit, any number of good left leaning policies} the R’s will do it back when theyre back in office!!

    Now look where we are.

    fucking libshits and MAGAts.
