  • My kid did a discount trial of Taekwondo and they pushed all kinds of shit on us hard like special tournaments, extra classes, and of course gear which all came with added costs. It was really weird and I couldn’t take this middle aged white man seriously in his Gi as he tried to sell us expensive packages. The parents who did drink the kool-aid had those same creepy blank stares that fundamentalist Christians do and I wanted no part of any of it.

    Im sure your traditional stuff like football and basketball also come with training classes, travel, tournaments, and whatever else they can use to grift parents in addition to the gear.













  • I used to point this out about Hulu probably close to a decade ago on reddit and would get endless comments about how “it’s just a few shows,” “i never see any ads,” and “it’s not their fault.” I wonder if those same people exist here.

    There’s literally nothing compelling these shitty companies to advertise these plans as ad free when they do in fact contain ads. Just like cellular ISPs have no legitimate reason to call their data plans “unlimited” when they cap you after using a predefined amount of data.
