Peloton Says Apple's Privacy Rules Limit Its Ability to Gain Subscribers

I’m going to come here and say the same thing every time a company complains about how the app tracking setting is hurting their business. If that’s the case, you are abusing your customers and I have zero sympathy for you. Stop.

Yeah I can totally see how not being able to spy on it’s user base unencumbered would prevent an exercise equipment company from growing its business ?

And stop calling Facebook Meta. Even if that’s what they say they changed their name to we still need to name and shame and show the connection. At least put “formally known as” every time it’s written. It’s the real reason for the name change, to create distance and rebranding. It’s our job not to let Facebook escape the evil they’ve become.

Also to make everyone say their name every time they talk about the idea of the metaverse. It is far too generic a name for trademark to be allowed.

I guess most regular users here have ad blockers installed. On the forums the paid Tapatalk app also rids you of any ads.

Just tried disabling add-blocker for a while. I was shocked! The internet is really a bad place without. Adds everywhere! Much worse than a few years ago. And adds for stuff I already bought. Just ridiculous.

But it’s kind of lame to pay the add-blocker companies instead of the content providers. It’s really upside down.

They actually thought they would be able to rely on creeping into user’s data and circumventing our privacy for years to come. Welcome to a new reality.

No one seems to be mentioning the huge recall Peloton had due to their treadmills killing pets and babies. Maybe that had a knock on effect to their sales tragectory?

Wasn’t there some scandal about them bricking a load of bikes too? Something about not being able to engage the resistance
