This is what I assumed, especially because I saw something like like it on Shark Tank. Although that may have been for the chemical that you could treat your own clothing with and not shirts themselves. I don't recall.

Yep, because they know that paying less over a long period is still more enticing than a one-and-done fee. Then you get roped in; it’s so dystopian.

@Daxrcy Did you watch the video? The earbud company will deactivate them when you stop paying and “may pursue legal action” 😂

@Daxrcy But why would someone do that? You just wasted $10 on some earbuds that you can't keep. It doesn't matter if you cancel the subscription they still get $10 out of you. It would be more smart to just buy some earbuds you can actually keep.

Btw multiple car companies have started doing similar tactics. Companies like Tesla, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and even Toyota have tried to make certain features subscription-based and remotely deactivate the feature if you stop paying. They range from small stuff like auto-start on a key fob to bigger features like heated seats or even Autopilot in Tesla's case.

For we must all appear before “the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.” (2 Corinthians 5:10) We will be judged for every deed we do whether is be good or bad. This isn’t something to worry about even if our bad deeds out weigh our good. Because none are good before God, all have sinned against Him and cursed His name, but He in His tender loving mercy hath given us His Son as our ransom. When Jesus was dying all of Gods wrath and judgement was poured out onto Him even though He was sinless. He was sacrificed and tortured on our behalf though we are sinful and carnal. Christ payed our sin debt with His perfect sinless blood so we may escape judgment and have everlasting life. But this great gift is only for those who accept it and accept Him ❤️

There's a few devices to get socks on easier without bending. As for shoes, you could buy shoes that have a little loop on the back heel, then using something long with a hook you can pull back on that while putting on the shoe. You could also get a long shoehorn. My father had one and I still use it. Having hurt my back several times I know how difficult that can be for a person. Hope this helps. ❤️

That’s true :) I didn’t think about that… people who have to manage their energy very carefully might also appreciate those.

It's the same with 'as seen on tv' stuff It's like "lmao this shit's so goofy"; but a lot of it was originally made for people with disabilities. For example, Snuggies were originally made for people in wheelchairs. It's just that they have to advertise it like something kooky and fun in order to sell it and make money off the general population :y

So true! Like pre-chopped veggies - game changers for people with poor dexterity, but able people just think it’s about being lazy. Unfortunately these things are priced higher than their counterparts, it’s like insult added to injury ☹️

@@definitelynotashark1799 I haven't heard of em. I'm assuming they don't have enough of a reputation to ruin. Or so many other companies have bad reputations, that they assume it doesn't matter.

The hope that they forget their subscription could be a reason for why the company has such a long subscription for you to sign up for right out the gate.

yup happened to my sister from WIsh ordered a shirt that never showed up and they insisted it was delivered so we had to call the credit card and they gave us our money back

Do you have this kind of scam when they call you pretending to be a bank worker and ask for your card info to buy things or transfer money? Does your advice also work in this case? Because it doesn’t in my country, so I was wondering.

drew said it could only be paid for with real money (peep that google pay payment option), he can’t call his bank for help if the transaction wasn’t made through the bank. This is how scammers make sure you can’t get a refund, it’s the same method telemarketing scammers use to rob old confused people of their life’s savings, a lot of them make them buy gift cards, others have them send the money in cash hidden between a book’s pages, etc. It’s very VERY difficult to get your money back in these situations.

@@ariariaris The scams you're talking about are real, but that's not how Google Pay works. It's just Google facilitating your use of actual payment options (like a credit card or your bank's debit card) without you needing to remember those payment details, so he definitely could have gone to his bank/credit card provider to get his money back from the scam.

@@quasimofo6811 have you ever had to try to get a refund for a purchase made with either google pay or paypal from smaller and/or international retailers when an order is missing, even if it’s technically not a scam? it’s a fucking pain. If you’re not dealing with bigger retailers like amazon it can take weeks of back and forth emails and you still might not get anything. I didn’t say it was impossible, just very difficult.

I just read an article saying that car manufacturers want to start experimenting with "subscribable" features in new cars. Like if you want your phone to use bluetooth to pair with the car when you get in it? $5.00/mo. Want a lane sensor? $20.00/mo. I'm imagining them asking you to subscribe to features like air conditioning and heat. Apparently now with everything in cars becoming so computerized it's really easy for them to add or subtract features just through software updates. They've finally figured out how to continue getting your money if you are the type of person who buys a car outright and keeps it forever (like me).

I did the Nura subscription last year - I wanted a pair of earbuds for running, and on the surface these seemed to fit the bill. They had a sound-thru mode that let the world in and wrapped around your ears for a sturdy fit. Sadly, they sucked. There were a bunch of annoying problems but mainly, the sound wasn't that impressive, it just sort of sounded like scooped mids and pumped bass, kinda like the stereotypical Beats profile. The sound-thru mode while running just resulted in constant wind rush and pop noise. So I went to return them (as Drew said, at my own expense) and wound up being out like, $30 rather than a couple hundred for a product I didn't like.
