I had this issue with produce. I stopped buying it because it would just go bad before I used it.

WHAT'S UR OFFER

as others have said, generally a privacy issue type deal. Sometimes regarding data being collected then sold.

I don't agree with the mentality tbh, if you were concerned about that just don't post. Nothing is stopping the data collectors from collecting it anyway(I'm sure they already have their own instance set to auto sub and ignore deletion requests), the only people who are effected by it are the users who wanted to see the post, and the people who put effort into responding.

I had a photo kiosk at an old job that I wanted to put something like that for their USB cables. I swear you touch them during transfer and boom your download = canceled.

Firmly agree. If I notice a trend on posts being deleted after posting, I just block the user so I don't see the new posts. Nothing is more annoying then putting a bunch of effort responding to someones question, especially tech related, just for them to nuke the post later on so it was all for nothing.

Thankfully though, it's few and far between on the communities that I usually look at, so I have not noticed it a whole lot.

I want to say the amazon driver had a sense of humor and this wasn't meant to be taken seriously. I know I got a chuckle out of it. I only hope the original person didn't complain XD

One interesting detail is that all three games have a delivery-by date that’s a few days past the release date

Ah so basically worthless to a consumer if they wanted it release day then. So this will help existing games, but it's not going to help anyone who wanted a game release day.

this is what my grandfather would have to do almost yearly do get an affordable direct tv bill. The year he switched to fubo is the year that they stopped giving him the discount. He refused to pay 150$ a month for the three channels he watched

as is I still find it rediculous he's paying 80$ a month for them now.

I remember that. They actually had quite a bit of trouble when they first tried to establish as an officially licensed company because of the fact that their initial user base was sailing the seas.

I don't doubt it with some of the translations I've seen. I think it would be better for them to just release the main content and then release subtitles further on down the road, But I assume there's probably some sort of accessibility law that forbids them from doing that.

It just gets super annoying watching a show and either having poor quality subtitles or subtitles that blatantly spoil parts of the series.

For example, in one piece

Early on one piece spoilerWhen you first meet Blackbeard, from memory, he doesn't say who he is. He just stands there as an old drunkard. And you're meant to expect that he's just some crazy drunk person that's interacting with the main party. You don't actually find out who he is for a good 5-10 episodes. However, if you had subtitles on, they clearly label him as Blackbeard during the first encounter, so it ruins that entire revelation.
I use subtitles because I have ADHD, And as part of that, it makes it so I struggle to keep up with audio versus comprehending it and subtitles give me a short delay of being able to catch up and still be able to read the text to understand what happened. when the subtitles are broken, I end up hard focusing on that. or get lost requiring me to rewind. Super annoying.

I should clarify it depends on your definition of fan. When you're making a derivative work, there's two versions. There's fan which is The person is enthusiastic about the content and then there is the intellectual property variation of it, which is someone who is doing it for non-commercial reasons under fair use(or said countries equivalent). However, once you start requiring money for said process, it removes the protections the creator has shielding it and generally changes the definition to that version.

Additionally, I agree a donation jar would be much better, but even then it's been shown that that doesn't resolve all liability because fan projects have been taken down for having a donation button even though the project itself is free, heck projects have been taken down for having advertisements on the projects website despite having nothing to do with said project
