Re: UPS.
I'm hearing;
Banks have really good ones.
Trains have shit ones.
BT sounds like it's somewhere in the middle.
Can anyone say they're surprised?

Sky.
Got a letter offering me a no-cost upgrade to Sky Q.
So I call them and then start getting the sales pitch telling me that they can offer really good deals of packages. Told them I was happy on my current package.
Ah, they said, Sky Q has different packages which cost more.
Bye then....

Or, as the Viz Profanisarus would call them, 'Porridge Wogs'.
It's not funny, it's very offensive. Very offensive, indeed. And shouldn't make me giggle, but it does.

This isn't really a BYP, more of a
YouTube keeps nagging me to go 'Premium' to avoid adverts. So, basically, if you have the £ you can avoid the adverts. Meanwhile the advertisers are looking for people to buy stuff. Take this to the logical conclusion and the advertisers are paying a lot of £€$¥₩ to advertise to people that can't afford to avoid the
adverts. Just how much are they going to spend on stuff that's pushed at them?
(Even if you pay, various channels are sponsored and push stuff at you midstream so you'll get advertised at).
I assume, like Instagram, they'll gradually make it unusable....but Instagram hasn't started shilling for subscriptions from casual users....yet.

Let them have all my info, so they can hound me with 'relevant' advertising
Not let them have my info, so they can hound me with any old advertising, But I have to pay €9.99 a month

A dodgy debit on my Barclays bank account from Deliveroo.
Never used them, so called the bank who instantly cancelled my card and refunded me, so fair play.
Not sure how my card details were obtained as I'm pretty canny, but such is life. Annoying, but hey ho.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
We’ve just switched packages on Netflix to their cheapest offering which includes adverts, barely noticeable but I’d rather have the few quid saving in my pocket. YouTube is starting to take the piss in terms of number of adverts, I just hope the content creators at least get a slice, which is why I won’t pay for the premium content and don’t skip them on the channels I enjoy watching.Count Steer wrote: Fri Nov 17, 2023 5:40 pm This isn't really a BYP, more of a![]()

Youtube ads are getting irritating but I won't go premium as we all use different Google accounts.
The popups for premium are far more irritating than the ads.
