TLDR News has 3 Big Announcements 

Best comment

I'd vote for them, maybe. I'd need to see policy first.

@@JasonAtlas TLDRs policy: Current politics is TLDR so we're replacing all national and local law making with a single gameshow. If the politican can guess what number the host is thinking, their law passes. If they get it wrong, they get gunked.

If TLDR becomes new national tv, how are we gonna make sex puns out of their names?

Still gonna beat the Tories

Wait it wasn't?

He needs a shave. Looks better clean saven.

@@markgreene3483 don’t you dare!

... Russian spyfly 😁

Depends on how much of a buzz there is...🤷

Agreed, they even have fly perspectives!

Agree, the paywall could be for comments and interactions, but cutting out the majority of viewership may not be a good move

Agreed. Ive followed this channel for a long time now and it's quite disappointing

I agree, it would be a lot better and it could bring new viewers to have it for free RU-vid. It's not like I'm going to sign up just to see that one thing.

Agreed. This is a marketing slam dunk, and paywalling it will limit potential for new audiences to learn about TLDR

Yeah this is a massive marketing fail for attracting a larger audience. And like you say, if they want to PPV then fine, but attaching it to a £20 magazine is frankly bizarre

And if so, was it the original with Vincent Price, or the 1980s David Cronenberg remake with Jeff Goldblum?

I thought the same when i heard it. :)

By quality free do you mean of low value or nondescript?

Did you contact them?

Email us at hello@tldrnews.co.uk and we can get that old shipping issue resolved! That being said, there is indeed a digital edition if you'd prefer to avoid that going forward - Jack

Absolutely, the December edition every year will act as the end of year special, so feel free just to collect them! - Jack

I would hope the physical version also includes the digital version but no confirmation yet.

That's entirely fair - and we're really sorry about that. We've rectified the issue this time round, so you pay the import tax upfront and hopefully it's lots cheaper. We're also offering a digital edition for anyone who doesn't want to pay for any shipping. When it comes to printing in other countries, we will see if enough people from Europe order to make it worth it, but it could be possible in the future - Jack

Good old Brexit!

Yep, we'll be shipping from the UK. We've taken feedback from last year onboard though, so we registered with an IOSS scheme and therefore collect duties and tax at checkout for EU customers, making pricing more transparent for everyone. - Jan

Well, David Lammy is Shadow Foreign Secretary and so will probably be Foreign Secretary at least at the start.

David Cameron, he’d fit right in.

I would do the same for TLDR Ireland

iirc they already did that before, might have been on the... business channel I think? I quick youtube search should get you there easy!

Thanks so much for your support! Just to let you know - we took that feedback onboard and we now calculate and collect import taxes for EU countries at checkout (via an IOSS scheme), so there should be no other fees due upon delivery. We've also improved the overall quality of the newspaper: it is now a 60-paged magazine with higher quality digital print throughout, and thicker pages (which will lead to substantially less discolouration when exposed to sunlight for longer periods). - Jan

@@TLDRnews thank you, thats nice to hear and an incredible fast response from you guys

There is one already! And it's cheaper than the regular print edition - Jack

Hey! Please email us at hello@tldrnews.co.uk with your order reference number, and I can have a look. - Jan

@@TLDRnews thanks for getting back to me so promptly, here and via email 👍

otherwise our printer port/ lpt0 will burn

We do ship internationally, or at least into most countries. There's a list of countries we can't ship into on toolong.news - this is due to various restrictions & shipping suspensions. - Jan

We may well do in the future...

That's entirely fair enough - it's pretty rough for many European countries. If you buy the digital edition though it doesn't come with any additional import taxes so that might be a little more affordable!

It's all so sad really. I have read what is happening the UK. I hope you get your economy back on track in the next 50 years or so.

If you wanted a second language, I'd argue that Spanish would make more sense. Not only is it more spoken (there are about 500 million Spanish speakers, compared to only 300 million French speakers), most of its speakers are native speakers, so they'll be very likely to prefer watching in Spanish even if they also speak English. Spanish also has much less overlap with English. As you say, French is widely spoken in Europe, but English is also ubiquitous in Europe (in a lot of the same countries, in fact). Likewise, most Canadians speak English. Not only is Spain itself one of the European countries where English is *least* spoken, a large number of the countries where Spanish is spoken are places in South America where knowledge of English is quite low. Africa might be very populated, but not all of it speaks French. In fact, not only is it is not widely spoken in the most populous country in Africa (Nigeria), of the five most populous countries in Africa, only the DRC has French as its official language. Of the other four, only Egypt has a significant number of French speakers... And even there, there are more than ten times as many English speakers as French speakers. In total, you're looking at 100ish million people in Francophone Africa, vs. 200ish million Spanish-speaking South Americans. (Side-benefit, Spanish is very close to Portuguese. If you're translating everything to Spanish anyway, it's fairly easy to translate from Spanish to Portuguese, and that's another 200 million or so people. Most of whom are, again, native speakers.)

@@TriangleChloros There are more countries that speak French than those that speak Spanish (there are 27 countries that speak French vs only 21 that speak Spanish).

@@candyneige6609 I mean... kinda? 27 countries have French as an official language, but that doesn't mean they're actually places where everyone speaks French. For example, French is one of the two official languages of Chad, but only about 15% of people in Chad actually speak French. This is not particularly unusual, of those 27 countries I don't think even half of them are actually majority French-speaking. Also, like... Not all countries are equally relevant. Seychelles has a population of only 0.1 million. More than a third of whom speak English anyway. Meanwhile, Chile has a population of 17.5 million, almost all of whom actually speak Spanish... and only about a tenth of whom speak English.

@@TriangleChloros While it's true that Spanish is spoken in these Spanish-speaking countries, the majority of people in these countries also speak English. Meanwhile, in the vast majority of French-speaking countries, hardly anyone speaks English, with the exception of Canada, where there are many English speakers, and even then, there are more French speakers in Canada than there are English speakers.

Its a digital copy. Id guess youd get a link or an email with a link or a document in it

@@iceteal3mon108 I'm talking about the payment itself. Without SWIFT, I can only make payments to a handful of countries (UK isn't one of them), and my bank apparently doesn't have a page on how to make international payments to the other countries.

They split the hosting duties a while back, Ben handles UK while other people handle the other channels. the "guy with the glasses" does tldr global and tldr business for example :)
