The only problem I have with this is that you have to reverify just for changing a profile photo? I hope they aren’t assuming your profile photo is supposed to be some kind of personally identifiable photo because people and especially businesses often have them very stylized.
The price IMO should be nothing for people who actually have decent jobs or whatever… easily spend more on Starbucks each month.

India is an extremely price sensitive market, there is very little consideration for quality on majority of the products made over there. Designing a product is pretty much non existent. Sharp edges, paint blobs, uneven welding, poor hygiene in bakery restaurants the list goes on and on. Even the wax candles made don't have a straight wick running through them.

I was fascinated by it as a kid, but monthly subscription fees were way outside of my realm of possibilities then.

Pretty much. Same thing happened with Cloud providers. Term was coined, and then they started saying they've been in the cloud "for years".

Perhaps, up to a point. More likely, they will self-monitor and alert 'someone' that they are not performing optimally and need to be serviced.
Humans will become 'Keepers of the Machine'. :D

It depends on your job… if you work from home, yes it’s coming for you. If it takes less than a week to learn your job duties, you’re done. If you stand in one place most of the day, see ya later. Robots have been replacing humans for decades. Sometimes robots fail mechanically or electronically and won’t do their jobs. It’s at this time that humans have to intervene to repair them. Will they ever be clever enough to repair themselves?

I’m not sure what I’m missing here. How is he insane for doing it? Sure, less than 100k May be paying for it, so let’s say 80k, @ $11/month (iOS prices) that’s making them $880k a month just for people who want a blue check mark

Oh good, maybe this will result in “fair use” being defined to explicitly not include some asshole scraping the Internet and dumping everything they find into their copyright-washing “AI”.

Am I wrong in thinking that the only value the tick ever had was that you couldn't pay for it?
