Personally, I buy protein powder even though I know the ingredients are actually too cheap to justify the price. But I’m too lazy, and the reward of a cold chocolate shake after working out makes me forget about the outrageous cost. It’s a little guilty pleasure I’ve come to terms with.
Internet. I prefer the underdog, not giant corpo owned ISP… and by paying more, it’s only be ause those bs ‘sales’ the major ISPs put on to their plans that make you fight every 2 years or change provider to the other big corpo.
anytime I ask what the REAL price is, it’s shocking higher then what I’m paying…those promos can be cancelled at anytime, without prior notice becAuse terms and conditions those major ISPs use.
I refuse to play that game and would rather have constantly priced invoices from my ISP so I ‘pay more’… plus, the rare time that I call from issues, I talk to someone who actually understands networking and doesn’t have a script. my calls last maybe 20, vs the big corpo where it takes me 20-40 minutes to even get a human
I can get behind this. I use a smaller (though they’ve grown a bit since I got on board) ISP who makes a big deal about having on-shore customer support. I’m happy to pay a small premium for that.
