  • Front right: phone. Maybe keys if what I’m wearing doesn’t have damn belt loops.

    Front left: wallet and earbud case. Maybe a pair of sunglasses if I forget that I can can just tuck em into my shirt collar since I’m a dumbass.

    Back pockets: nothin’ because I’m not my dad nor a pyschopath.

    Bonus: If I’m wearing pajamas with no pockets then I guess it’s all going in my elastic band / undies.

    The truly, mildly infuriating thing is that they will most likely charge you as soon as the trial ends unless you cancel.

    As someone who already likes the product: The trial is just a bonus - you get that time for free.

    As someone who actively dislikes the product: You’ll likely only use the trial if it’s absolutely necessary.

    As someone who is skeptical of the product: You may want to use the trial to help decide whether you like the product.

    As someone who is frugal: You would not want to get charged for something unnecessarily.

    If I’m skeptical and frugal, I’d be wary of starting a trial which automatically charges me at the end. I’d be more likely to seek alternatives. Apple may not target this demographic to begin with so the point could be moot with this example… but regardless, the fact that many “free” trials do this is probably mildly infuriating to anyone who is skeptical and frugal.

    Additionally, when I do find a true free trial, I would be inclined to take that as a sign that the product speaks for itself and that I’m not going to get ripped off.


  • Oh thank you - seems they are there; I just didn’t expect the saved posts and comments to be mixed.

    However, I think I was initially convinced that they were no under Saved because when I sorted by “new”, I did not see the recently created comments i had saved at the top. I’ll test this out again to double check.

    EDIT: Okay, so I just tested it with your comment and I can confirm it did not appear at the top of Saved when I sorted by “new”.

    Seems the real root cause of my issue is with the sorting on Saved - it doesn’t seem to work properly.
