Has Grooby ever considered...

His title and sub-title say, "Has Grooby ever considered fairness for their customers?" You don't have to have a degree in English to infer that he thinks he's being treated unfairly.

I am not in any way associated with any business so that's why I'm not being diplomatic if I think it's unreasonable. It's not reasonable to suggest that people try to get porn for free because they're not getting the deal they want by paying.

Unfairness is being offered one thing, making a purchase and getting something else entirely. Or it's being charged all sorts of surcharges you weren't warned about. It's not failing to get the deal you wanted.

I read what he wrote, I took it as a legitimate question. Maybe his phrasing was off in the subject line, but what he brought forth in the post, to me didn't seem like he was bitching.

But now you're being a little kid and derailing the post. Everything has been said, thanks.

I did say that I thought his title and sub-title sounded like a bitch. I thought it colored the rest of the post.

I guess I sort of try to think about it like a proprietor would. You want to offer the best product to the most people, and you will offer volume discounts if it's attractive for all parties. I don't really see how anyone could be responsive to demands from individual parties when there are multiple tastes and circumstances to consider. I've seen a dozen or more posts like this and I've always been struck by how unreasonable and detached from reality they are.

I don't really see how you think maybe his phrasing was off. Go up to management at a business in your local area and ask them if they've ever considered fairness for their customers. What are they going to say? "Yeah, we've thought about it".

Actually, i don't think i'm being unfairly, and i said i pretty much always have one or two subscriptions.

Also you will notice the question mark after the line "fairness for customers"

I'm not saying "this would be fair" i'm saying "would this be fair?" hence the "?"

Of course Grooby can do what they want, it's their material, but at the end of the day they are providing a customer service, and any business in customer service should look at ways to A) keep their customers happy and B) increase profits

i think this idea would do both, offering this service to SUBSCRBERS only means you are giving extra incentive to sign up or keep subscribed, while selling shoots at i'm saying a reasonable and profitable price for grooby

And to this dude directly

1. Perhaps you do need that degree because you did infer wrong

2. What do you mean it's not "reasonable" firstly I wasn't threatening to do that at all, but it is a legitimatize problem for the porn industry, failure to recognize that is dangerous imo.

some of you need to be sure about what people are saying before charging in, because I feel all I did was make a suggestion.

You used a question mark "fairness for customers?"

Whatever you intended to mean, you communicated that it was unfair or question the fairness of it. :geek:

Maybe your suggestions were good. As for what you said, I think I read it correctly. I could only read what was on my screen. You're right that the tone of the rest of your post does sound lighter and more suggestive.

When you say, "has x considered fairness for their customers"?, you are implying they have not. It's not something most people have to consider as it's an intuitive thing. As you are a customer, you would be included in the group mentioned.

Theft is a problem, but I don't think people steal because they are not getting a good deal. They steal because they don't want to pay for a good or service and don't care how much money went into making it. Anyhow, since I read your entire post I did notice the uneven tone of it, with part being conciliatory and part having a different sound to it. Most people were swayed by the nicer parts. Whatever.

You also posted a link to a pirate site ... which I removed, that wasn't exactly cool either.
