@dennishorn das ist doch eine der Marken von #BendingSpoons .
Genau wie #komoot .
Irgendwie muss die Kriegskasse ja wieder aufgefüllt werden, um die nächste funktionierende Plattform zu kaufen und in die Tiefen von Mordor zu werfen.

💸💸 Harvest price hike hits business with 1500% increase in bills
｢ Harvest was acquired by the Italian tech company Bending Spoons in 2025, and changed its pricing structure the following year.
Many businesses who pay annually are only now finding out about the increase, as their payment is now coming up for renewal ｣ -
So, 🤡 Bending Spoons swoops in, waves a magic wand, and *abracadabra* 💸—your Harvest bills now come with a side of bankruptcy! Because clearly, nothing says "innovation" like a 1500% price increase to remind you that the only thing bending here is your wallet. 🤦♂️

1 day and 16 hours ago, harvest (now owned by the private equity company #bendingspoons) sent a notice that the cost to use their service would rise from $184/year to $1,158/year (USD)
a month ago, they disabled CSV export of invoice data, which i used to do my taxes
they've replaced their customer support with LLM gaslighting
i've replaced their service with a python script and a spreadsheet :blobcat_thisisfine:

Now that #Meetup is going all in on dark patterns, with #BendingSpoons having rewritten its mobile app to cram people into extra groups and pitch them unnecessary paid subscriptions, I’m looking to move a 500+ person group off. What do others use for free social group event organizing?

A $23 billion company with 1,000 employees that has never built a product you use. Bending Spoons just IPO'd. The machine behind it explains the extraction economy.

Weekly output: phone plans, Nvidia keynote, passkey adoption, Bending Spoons buys AOL, SpaceX simplifying Starship lander, Internet luminaries on the open Web
This is not going to be a great week for normal sleep cycles: Tuesday, I will wake up at around 4 a.m. to spend a 15-plus hour shift working as an election officer for Arlington, and then Wednesday I’m off to Dulles Airport for this year’s final business trip across the Atlantic. I’m departing for Web Summit in Lisbon several days early because the organizers of another conference, the Mozilla Festival, offered a press pass and a travel stipend to cover that event in Barcelona. I’ve heard good things about this conference over the years, so accepting an invitation to spend a few days in one of my favorite cities in Europe was an easy call.
In addition to what you see below, Patreon readers got a detailed recap of how this past week’s event-packed schedule left its own series of dents in my calendar.
10/28/2025: The Best Cell Phone Plans, Wirecutter
This was going to be a modest update to the guide that I’ve been maintaining since 2014, but T-Mobile jacking up prices while AT&T and Verizon inflicted more modest rate hikes led to us dethroning T-Mo on cost grounds and handing our “for most people” pick to AT&T, which has advanced its own 5G network considerably.
10/28/2025: In DC, Nvidia CEO Touts New AI Partnerships, Goes a Little MAGA, PCMag
Heading into Nvidia’s conference, I was worried that CEO Jensen Huang would go into the weeds about the finer points of GPU architecture. Instead, he used this nearly two-hour keynote to jump from topic to topic without getting into too much detail about any of them–and kept coming back to opportunities to praise President Trump.
10/29/2025: Passkey Adoption Sees Striking Progress, With One Obvious Leader, PCMag
I struggled to get this written at the end of a long workday, resulting in my getting some nuances wrong that required updating the post the next morning.
11/1/2025: Serial Dot-Com Purchaser Bending Spoons to Buy AOL, But Why?, PCMag
Writing about AOL in 2025 makes me feel so old, but as one of PCMag’s graybeards I had to cover the news of Bending Spoons buying the company that once ruled the online world. I got to this story a day after it broke, so I turned that lag into an opportunity to expand the piece with some quotes from a publicist for that Italian firm and from a podcast interview of its CEO Luca Ferrari last year
11/1/2025: After Elon Tantrum, SpaceX Now Prepping ‘Simplified’ Starship-Based Lunar Lander, PCMag
Since I wrote about Elon Musk’s childish reaction to NASA’s understandable concern over the pace of its Human Landing System work, I had to reach for a keyboard to cover SpaceX’s grown-up corporate response.
11/1/2025: ‘The Truth Is Paywalled.’ Internet Vets Lament the State of the ‘Open’ Web, PCMag
This Monday-evening panel was one of the first items on my calendar this week, but having event after event after event follow it led to me not writing it up until Thursday night. Once again, it was a serious treat to hear some of the Internet’s founding figures talk about the state of the thing they invented.
