I was going through my Wal-Mart+ subscription plan that I got for free and I saw their offers. One of which was EMeals, that was a 60-day trial. I thought that this was like Blue Apron or other meal delivery services so I thought I’d take a crack at it and hope that it would get me on a path to eat better.

Turns out, it’s just a meal planner. And it’s absurd to me why and how would anyone pay for something when there are countless and countless recipes and meal planners readily available for free. Who’d the fuck would want to pay for a planner? That’s like paying for a calendar app.

    Okay, to preface I really hate giving Google money, but I hate ads more, and paying for Premium also removes ads on YouTube apps across platforms. It also in some minuscule way rewards the creators I watch, but real support comes from Patreon.

      YouTube charges too much. It costs more than Netflix! They need like a $6/mo plan or something.

        In Australia they offer premium lite for $9 AUD a month that removes ads on normal YouTube but still has it on shorts and music.

        I mean, it depends on how much you use it, no? I use YouTube more than Netflix and the like (most of the time anyway). Not that I have YouTube premium but still.

      Yeah I’m with you. I know there’s some way to block ads on any device if you are really dedicated but I don’t want to get a PHD in ad blocking just to not have ads on YT on my phone

      It also gives a “free” music service, and while it’s not excellent by any means, that keeps me from spending MORE money on another music service.

      I just like that I can log in on my AppleTV and it works immediately with no ads or bullshit.

      Yeah I pay because I get ad free videos and YT music, so I could cancel Spotify, which is almost the same price for only music.
