• Nearly half of streaming subscriptions are for plans with ads — I wonder how many of these ad-supported subscriptions are ones bundled with other services.

As a casual gamer, every time I would get close to having enough points for the one reward with any value (a $5 gift card), my points would expire.

I initially decided on Omnivore before deciding to go back to Pocket. I thought I dodged a bullet as Omnivore shut down a few months later, but it looks like my decision to stick with Pocket finally caught up with me.
