OMG! You think we're doing "Comedy"?! Thank you sooo much. That's the nicest compliment we've received since my parents said: "We'll love you no matter what you do."
Thanks! I'm the guy on the right and this is my first youtube show. Suggestions and constructive feedback appreciated. (There's also an anonymous feedback form linked in the youtube comments.)
By your logic (which I don't agree with), it would have been okay ONLY IF the side boob were written into terms of the contract, stipulating that there must be tit for tat. And then we can assume that there would also be an article double d: "$50,000 will be left on the dresser."
tl;dr: "Right now, today, we can't see the thing, at all, that's going to be the most important 100 years from now...But whatever that thing is -- people will have to think it. And we can, right now, today, prepare powerful ways of thinking for these people. We can build the tools that make it possible to think that thing."
Love this! Just discovered that I'm paying a monthly membership to my fiance's old gym when she hasn't been there FOR OVER A YEAR...because she moved and (thought she had) cancelled it.
The gym is an interesting special case because there really is value in the commitment device of "I paid for this gym membership so it will feel really wasteful if I don't go all month". Our second biggest competitor -- http://gympact.com -- turns that aspect of gym pricing up to eleven, charging you more for not showing up (and giving you a kickback if you do).
As far as auto-canceling subscriptions, the gym could also make an argument that they have to provision a lot of physical space and equipment based on how many people have paid to use the space. They don't recover that cost when you don't happen to show up.
None of this applies to most SaaS companies though!
