If only you weren’t being facetious. I got an all-in-one with an idea that I could fit two machines that do all the work in the space where I’d normally have a washer and a separate dryer. Sucks.

that was some crazy snap oversteer

That’s a curse I’d like to have. No large bonuses here.

...code not one but THREE more different types of videos...

True, but with it maxed out, if I’m not doing after-tax savings, I won’t hit my goal. I don’t really feel like it’s an unreasonable goal either, so it’s disheartening to know that the system is setup to tell you you’re saving enough when you’re really not.

Hilarious, I love it. I’d totally buy this for upwards of $2000. Wait...it’s more than 10x that? CP.

Wanted to, but I already max out my contributions, so apparently I’m just not allowed to save more than I am for retirement...which I suppose is good because I’m maxing out my potential while still enjoying what money I do actually see, but it’s disappointing to know that I can’t just live like a college kid ‘till my…

Well, as someone else pointed out, the issue (the part I’m missing) is that content that is setup as #2 (ad supported) will apparently show up as ‘private’ to Red subscribers, making it unavailable. So you’d have to log out of your account to view the video...with ads...which you’re paying to not see. If true, that…

Or worse, trim your budget heavily to save into an additional Roth only to find out that you weren’t allowed to, then you have to liquidate it and take the penalty in addition to paying the taxes because you’re apparently saving too much...not that I’m bitter or anything.

meh. I like the option to put up my personal videos and allow the family to see it without a pre-roll of adverts.

AH! I see. Yes, that does seem like a terrible way to set it up. Whoever decided that ad supported content should be not available to Red subscribers instead of just removing the ads for Red subscribers isn’t thinking things through.

So...wait...what’s the issue then? People are upset because there’s potential for their favorite channels to get put behind a paywall at the discretion of the creator? Seems like the obvious solution is to simply not get an account. If the money isn’t there, then the creators will fall back to the ad model and…

No idea, the description in the article seemed a lot harder to follow, and I also don’t see anything worth complaining about with the 3 tier model.

Hasn’t it always cost money? Why did things suddenly change? Are you sure it isn’t about providing the content creators with a means of squeezing more cash out of the cow? As consumers we will choose our level of participation. Personally, I’ll hold off on a Red account unless there’s something there that I think is…

Seems legit. I see it as just giving the content providers different options. Perhaps, if you’re not a mega star, not being behind the #3 paywall will up your cred and earn you some more money. It’s all speculation, but it seems to make sense that a large amount of the content would still be behind #2 or, as you point…

The current model uses #1 and #2. I’ve got several videos that I just put out there with no ads because I don’t expect it to get more than a hundred or so views, and I don’t want to hassle those few viewers with ads. For the videos that actually got views, I added the ad revenue...some day I might actually hit the…

This seems like a really easy thing to get correct. Create 3 levels of video:

You’re not wrong, but it did sound like he said ‘intents and purposes’. Otherwise bang on.

There are after market kits to provide colors for the dash. As soon as I’ve got the money for it, I’m totally doing it.

I think I’ll stick with my usual set of events:
