No they weren't. At all. The jokes about spotify et. al. were about paying rent for something you used to own, not that the idea was completely useless and unprofitable.

lol are you trying to gaslight me?

that doesn’t even make sense about uber, paying for what that you used to own?

How do you fail to understand that that specific point applies to Spotify?

[–] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

because you said

The jokes about spotify et. al.

What do you think et. al. means?

"and others". Why do you think that must project to where it doesn't make sense? Almost like you're too dumb to understand implication and context...

We are discussing my own experiences over the last 10 years with people saying uber et. al. are unprofitable and will therefore eventually go broke, the OP looks to be repeating this

If you are unable to understand what we’re talking about and use words you don’t understand maybe spend less time being a snarky fuck and more time thinking about what you type
