> [@brownie55](#): > > You can still get a latte for less than a gallon of gas? The prices seem linked here, to high test. They’re about even right now, unless you get the latte with an extra shot. Not saying that’s what I do, mind you. That’s, uh, just what I heard. > [@Casey1505](#): > > The degree of “touching” in the crayon drawings lovingly crafted by the 5 year old boy will be in direct proportion to the gas prices in your area. I mean, if you’re only paying $2.50 a gallon, your drawing won’t be quite as touching as the drawing sent to the sponsor who is paying $2.98 a gallon. I just tanked up. $3.27 a gallon. Some tears were shed at the pump. So at those gas prices, my friend, those damn crayon drawings better make me weep like a little girl who’s just put $40 worth of gas in her car. _And_ a certain 5 year old boy better be using the Big Box. Maybe even the glitter crayons. ---

> [@Kythereia](#): > > _tosses scarf into thread_ Hat trick! > …Er. What’s the gist of the argument, for those who are hopelessly confused? I think it’s general anger at the Readers unwillingness to fork over their financial records to those of the teeming millions who have been so put upon by the google ads. It could just as well be a paycheck pissing contest. Your guess is as good as mine. ---

> [@Kythereia](#): > > What’s the gist of the argument, for those who are hopelessly confused? The thread was not initially about how much cash the reader is netting in return for molesting our eyeballs. Nor was it initially about TubaDiva and her every other word contradicting themselves. It wasn’t about how I’ve anted up twice, bought Cecil’s books and a t-shirt, and yet the Reader’s business model is so shitty that it still isn’t enough. But I think those are fine topics. ---

> [@jrfranchi](#): > > […] > Did you think my math was good or bad? […] I thought it was very reasonable, but in light of Ed’s comment it was possibly somewhat too high. Anyway, we have a ballpark idea of what they get off the subscriptions because they have been throwing numbers around all over the place. That said, they don’t disclose financial information… ---

> [@Campion](#): > > I just tanked up. $3.27 a gallon. Glad I wasn’t the only sucker who did that today. And I couldn’t even “fill 'er up.” The pump had a built-in $60 maximum charge allowed… Are we bragging about gross or net? Because my gross kicks ass, but I have almost $3000/mo taken out pre-tax to pay medical expenses. ---
