The most offensive part of the #YouTube app is the tiny “skip trial” button you have to find to get into the app on an iPad. This seems to come up every time I open the app (which is only about once a week because I hate it)
This acquisition of #FATMAP by #Strava feels like a personal attack on me. I had planned to cancel my Strava subscription and subscribe to FATMAP instead. Though the cost is increasing I guess I’ll keep it going since they will open up FATMAP to subscribers.

You’ve got to give #TikTok kudos for suggesting you take a break from watching TikToks after an embarrassingly long time in the app…
Interesting stats from #Vizio exec Mike O'Donnell: only 6% of usage of their #SmartTV is through HDMI devices, the remaining 94% is apps/content via their OS. #TV https://www.fiercevideo.com/video/vizio-executive-shrugs-competition-roku-tvs
It always surprises me that YouTube withholds support for Apple’s #iOS multitasking functionality (split screen and picture in picture) unless you subscribe to #YouTubePremium
We watch a lot of #YouTube on TV where the UI is pretty simple, so it is always jarring to see the mobile experience #connectedTV
#MississaugaMarathon was my first marathon so it is sad to see the event drop the ful marathon distance from the lineup. Though the new ownership of the race is spot on with their changes to the event, fixing a lot of the not so great aspects of the race. I hope they can bring the full marathon back for 2024! #running #canadianrunning #mississauga #marathon #halfmarathon
“We’re updating our terms of use” is a deceptive headline when the change is in fact #Starbucks doubling the cost to redeem a free coffee (used to be 50 stars, going to 100)
Guess I better stop hoarding points are redeem some coffees before the change on Feb 13th…
Direct marketing teams are doing overtime to hit that Q4 sales target #sms #marketing
