Video bandwidth is expensive. Plus YouTube pays the creators too for producing the content. I subscribe to YouTube, and haven’t had a real TV subscription in years. Totally still saving money. In terms of hours per dollar per month, it’s gotta be pennies for me. Plus YouTube music and downloading to my phone to save data is kinda nice too.
I’m on about #2 or #3 IPhone from eBay.
No issues, but I always made sure I purchased ones that were in the condition I liked in the photos and also were listed either for the carrier I had in mind or unlocked and then threw in a mvno sim as soon as I’ve got it. eBay is pretty good about processing returns that are legit and I’ve always tried to vet the device the day I received it. Issues with other electronics I’ve filed a notice report immediately and either returned or accepted a partial discount.
Looking to sell my old devices on eBay soon. Not going to make a fortune, a few bucks helps, yanno.
Yeah, depends. Sometimes they’ll run a deal to multi-year registration as like a bill discount. Seems more rare these days. I look up a good renewal rate on www.tld-list.com and then have to actually go to the registrar and make up a fictional name and then see if it even allows registration for more than a year and what the cost is for 10 years.
As others mentioned, Verisign administers the .com space and they’re raising prices. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/04/09/website-domain-more-expensive-00023524
I do like to keep track of the budget gTLD renewal prices at tld-list.com and use that for my personal use. I have an offbeat domain I registered for 10 years for something like $25 a few years ago.
