What a fucking dystopian world: copyrighted tools to detect natural dangerous events..
Like, pay us or die. Seems like blackmailing to me..
Weather alerts are FREE! Jesus people, you'll believe anything that falls in line with your outlook.
Just got this, for FREE. Take a look at that pic, notice all the FREE options for weather alerts? My FREE weather app gives me alerts.
If people are dumb enough to pay, I got no problem taking their money.
They're only free because NOAA publishes the information for free. Several private interest groups (companies) have been pushing to cut off public distribution so that people have to pay them to get access to severe weather alerts. Like, deliberate, targeted enshittification; no value adding, literally just inserting a paywall.
Come on; it won't be that bad. Just watch the 30 second add to get to the critical information. Don't forget to do the captchas and dodge the popups. /s
