During the preshow I heard Benito remind Christina about muting her microphone so I’m very excited not to hear any typing this episiode!!!

“Typical Jews become visible” made me laugh very hard :joy_cat:

Regarding the price hikes, I also noticed that Netflix seem to have upped the number of ads they show. It used to be one every 1.5 episodes of a show, yesterday, I got the same Nintendo Switch 2 ad 5 times in a 45 minute show.

Interestingly, Google upped the price of YouTube Premium Lite by 30% this month, because I am paying for it through Apple Subscriptions on my iPhone.

If you saw my previous post it was a false alarm; my Premium expired today :joy:
