Just another way to pry more money out of customers...

Discovery +

Paramount +

Today, I just got a 23andme plus email. I did 23andME a while back...and for the "fee" you paid for the genetic test, you continue to get updated reports as they align more gene code. Well, not any more...now you need to upgrade to 23andME +.

Another fucking scumbag move my these thieves...

You pay to get something...then they move the goalposts...and you pay for the next layer...

A pox on them all!

Well played.

I worked in marketing and if you guys had to sit through some of the meetings I did you would be amazed at the ridiculous ideas.

Every couple of years there has to be a new buzz word to get more money out of people often times for the same product.

All it takes is something like X-treme with some wild graphics and these companies are then willing to remake a bunch of their food packaging with that crap spread out all over.

We'll have to plus up this thread to get a full understanding.

Ha ha.
I worked for a company that decided to market some new gizmo with a "-X" suffix.

The thing that I found amusing was the gizmo ended with the letter "s".

Example: graphics-X

The guy that give birth to that idea left the company a few months later.

"+" means "Plus your money to their coffers"

From our perspective its "Minus"

No, it’s definitely worth it. Why, for instance, I always go to Confession+ on Saturdays. A real value!

It's all marketing nonsense.

Whenever I see a business or neighborhood spelled with an extra "e," I know it will be expensive, snobbish, or both. Such as ""Crown Pointe Shopping Center.". .

Next iteration will be Discovery++ closely followed be Discovery+++. All the same content only with a bump in price.

The plus on chromosomes is never good....

Although, I like my Shield Plus.
