Microsoft’s Sneaky Forced-Upsell to 365 Users; If You Don’t Need/Want Copilot, Don’t Pay for It
youtu.be
If, like me, you recently received a notification about a price increase to your Microsoft 365 subscription, you might not realise you have a choice...If you...

Summarizing video showing MS’ horrible practicies regarding Office 365’s subscription tiers, where they basically forcefully upgrade you to a higher tier subscription, and at the same time renaming the tier names so you won’t notice…

    I haven’t done office in a while. The inception of the subscription model killed it completely for me. Scrivener is better organized for big projects. And there’s plenty of small word programs that get the job done for things like resumes and such, in lieu of Microsoft Word.

    I had an older student office disc. Microsoft wouldn’t allow installation.

    And then Adobe stealthed onto my elderly parents computer and killed all their photo files. Demoralizing to say the least. They won’t even engage their favorite hobby any more.

    The enshittification is real.

      If they are on windows, did it just change the default program that opens photos? You can go in the properties and change the default program.
