I signed up with Sling yesterday to test them out for a YouTube TV replacement. Received this email today. My account isn't even 24 hours old. 😐

Content prices go up but in the years w/YouTube, I haven't seen technology improvements. It's only become more sluggish.

Although I created my Bluesky account awhile back when they were still doing invites, I just started using it more. I was socially exhausted after the last place became a dumpster fire. 🔥

Happy to be here and more importantly looking to connect with others. 👍
