"Titles in organizations keep people from properly encapsulating a problem at a point which allows them to be most productive."

Apple is horrible with billing, accounts, and online support. I got a new account (because my last account is lost in recovery hell) to try Apple TV in late June. Cancelled the sub within the month. Still got charged on Aug 3 and now can't even login to Apple TV to check the settings.

The old Google Finance main page was great: graph of major indices and changes for some of the stocks I watch. I would check it a few times a day if I had free time. They've changed it into something that looks awful and doesn't have the info I want (no graphs wtf?)

My apple ID was compromised, but the security questions stopped transfer of the account. Failing the questions causes the account to be locked out for 8 hours, and every 8 hours it gets locked again. So I am also prevented from recovering it. Lost in limbo forever, I guess.

Why do streaming services show me ads for their shows that they must know I'm already caught up on? And on the more expensive ad-free plan, too.

Videos that ask you to like and subscribe before even getting into the topic of the video get an automatic thumbs down. After content, it's a good reminder and most likely to get me to like & sub. Is there a better way to disincentivize content creators who do this?
