Nearly 40+% of all streaming users canceled a subscription this year.

We’ve been championing the rotating subscriptions month-to-month instead of holding them year-round) on this sub for years, but a massive new market report just revealed that the general public is finally catching on.

According to the latest industry data published this week, 47% of all streaming users canceled at least one major service recently, citing subscription fatigue and out-of-control price hikes. The average cost to hold the top 5 ad-free streaming services simultaneously has officially crossed the $87/month threshold.

For the group hosts in here: Have you noticed a massive increase in buyers dropping their shared slots after a single month? It feels like the days of finding reliable, long-term profile sharers are completely over.

3rd year senior from BITS pilani, CS. here is my advice

If you have around 15 days left, please stop behaving like you’re preparing for JEE Advanced.

I’m serious.

Every year I see people wasting the last 2 weeks trying to complete entire theory from scratch, solving super hard questions, watching 8 hour lectures on chapters they should’ve left long ago.

BITSAT is not that exam.

This exam rewards speed, composure and decent accuracy MUCH more than being some olympiad genius.

A few things I genuinely wish someone told me earlier:

    1.Give mocks even when you feel underprepared.

A lot of people keep “waiting” to finish syllabus before starting mocks.

Worst mistake possible.

BITSAT is heavily about stamina and decision making.

You need to learn how to move on from questions quickly.

     2.Don’t ruin your confidence with JEE Advanced level prep right now.

If your goal is BITS, focus on BITSAT level questions.

Getting humbled by some insane physics question everyday is not helping your confidence.

     3.English + LR can literally save your score.

People ignore these sections completely and then panic in the exam.

Spend 30-40 mins daily on them.

Easy marks.

      4.Fix your sleep schedule NOW.

You do not want your brain lagging during a 3 hour speed-based paper.

      5.Stop comparing mock scores.

Seriously.

BITSAT mock scores fluctuate a LOT.

One mock you’ll get 180.

Next mock 250.

Then suddenly 210.

The exam is weird like that.

Instead of obsessing over scores, analyze:

A)where you wasted time

B)silly mistakes

C)chapters giving free marks

D)questions you should’ve skipped earlier

And finally,

please stop thinking your life ends here.

Half the people giving BITSAT are burnt out JEE aspirants who think they “failed”.

You’re not alone in feeling exhausted.

Give these last 15 days properly.

Not perfectly.

Just properly.

PS i am a mentor for BITSAT in the crackIt premium community, mentoring potential students who could get 280+, if you get the mocks and score consistently above 280, then im possibly going to be your mentor to push you beyond 300+

why is the other driver's insurance asking for my whole life story?

I got rear-ended last month and I'm dealing with some lingering back pain. The other guy's insurance sent me a medical release form, but it’s super broad. It basically asks for permission to see all my past records, films, and even stuff from other doctors not related to the crash. This feels like a total invasion of privacy. I read a post on the Tina Willis Law site that warned about these "fishing expeditions" where adjusters look for old injuries just to claim your current pain is pre-existing. Has anyone here actually managed to limit what they see? I want to be fair and show them the accident records, but I don't think they need to see my records from five years ago. Just wondering if I'm being paranoid or if this is a standard trap.

I was filming one of those casual walking/talking clips outside earlier and halfway through recording a guy stopped me and went:

“Your mic is backwards.”

Apparently I clipped the transmitter onto the inside of my jacket by mistake instead of outward 😭

The worst part is I ONLY noticed after recording like 15 minutes of footage.

I kept blaming traffic noise because the audio sounded weird and muffled, then realized the mic was literally facing fabric the entire time.

These newer tiny wireless mics are great because they disappear on camera, but sometimes they disappear so well that my brain forgets they even exist.

Please tell me other people have done dumb stuff like this while filming in public.

I am trying to figure out a fair price for MT2. Getting stuff shipped to Australia is already a hassle and I do not want to get ripped off.

I see some places selling kits for super cheap and others charging a massive premium. One supplier warned me that low prices usually mean bad purity, and since a lot of cheap sites do not show real lab results, I am hesitant. I just do no want to overpay and I definitely cannot afford to pay to test the vials myself.

Without dropping vendor names, what are you guys generally paying? How do you know you are actually getting real MT2?

My passport expires in like 4 and a half months and I have a trip coming up before then. I keep reading that a lot of countries want 6 months of validity past your return date but other people say they've traveled with less and nobody cared.

Renewal is a whole thing I don't really have time for right now. Has anyone actually been turned away at the gate or is this one of those technically required but never enforced rules?
