That does not mean it didn’t reduce them.

Yes that's explicitly what they meant. Most new passengers were people who were Walking or cycling before, but not a Lot of people who were driving before

Then you say the tram in Montpellier isn’t good, like what on earth does that have to do with anything?

That you should Invest the funds used for free Public Transport in improving the Network and it's quality.

Don't get me wrong, you should still offer cheap/free Tickets to People who need them, but nothing wrong to collect additional funds to finance the system

You mean Like in Tallin, Estonia?

Or with the 9€ Ticket in Germany?

The Countries with a high Share of Public Transport in the Modal Split like Switzerland have one Thing in Common, an extremely dense, Frequent and reliable public Transport System. The price isn't Just that important,

Just because someone has a different opinion than you, doesn't make it "Propagandist".

(I travel exclusively by Public Transport and I would love to have the Same quality as in Switzerland, but here everyone wants stupid cOmPeTiTiOn and lOw pRiCe Bro, and the quality in Germany is horrible. Montpellier is also not great, I've visited many Times for Holidays, and during the day it's okay, but the Tram Service terminates way to early in the evening. The prices were also already very cheap before it went "free")

East Germany doing East Germany things.

I mean they also don't believe the normal media anymore. They will just parrot what Putins Propaganda spoonfeeds them in their Telegram Groups and "Alternative Media"

There has also been hostility towards journalists over the past few days, especially after some 2,000 people joined a protest by the far right in Magdeburg on Saturday night. The Association of German Journalists said there had been aggression and threats against the press and appealed for greater police protection.

Those people and areas are a lost cause.

Same

But there are a Lot of people Out there WHO pay 15$ for YouTube Premium, If you can get way better content for that Money elsewhere

Unless they monetize the wanted Features Like Ad-Blocking. 10$/Month for No Ads everywhere is a Deal that many people would probably Take. Sponsorblock, DeArrow, Video Background Player Fix, there are many QoL Improvements that a Browser Company might include to sell a Browser Subscription or likewise

The Reputation comes from people who have never tried it and are looking for an excuse why they don't use it.

It's Not more complicated than E-Mail

You can cancel Billing Agreements in PayPal. It's quite convenient

Then they will Switch to another Browser, or there will be a drop-In replacement for Electron.

It's Not that hard for the developers to Block Chrome then

How is Manifest v3, Fingerprinting and the proposed "Web Integrity API" not enshittification?

They would have gone even further with this, if Firefox wouldn't exist. And Firefox is on life Support, because they can't afford for it to Go away otherwise they would have the Antitrust regulators Breathing down their neck

Was für ein positives Menschenbild

Da die größten Reedereien europäisch sind und China sicher nichts dagegen hat seinen Marktanteil im internationalen Seehandel auszubauen, denke ich dass China da am längeren Hebel sitzen wird.
