  • If you wanna compare it to hiking, it’s like hiking a long distance in the wilderness alone without bringing any water or food or map or compass or a phone or anything besides some shorts and flip flops.

    Even for people who are experienced in the wilderness, there’s a reason why you are supposed to take basic emergency supplies with you (and really the most important emergency supply being a buddy).

    See: that guy who famously had to cut his own arm off. Also he’s “one of the lucky ones”. Experienced people die in the wilderness every year, just like experienced free climbers die.








  • I got nitro for higher audio quality so I could stream background music while running a DnD campaign over discord.

    It also increases your streaming resolution and file upload size limit which is quite useful.

    It also lets you use emojis from any server in any other server, which isn’t “useful” but is fun and I do it all the time.

    For these 3 things I think it’s worth it. It’s worth noting I have a grandfathered Nitro plan that is more features than “Nitro Basic” but less features than the next tier at a cost that’s in between.

    The real enshitification I’m worried about is the gradually increasing prevalence of ads in increasingly prominent places.
