That August, the streaming analyst Eric Schiffer told The Verge that the "golden age" was over as competition increased, and Netflix was putting creators on a shorter leash. But just as Netflix was pulling back from its most creative content, the streaming wars were heating up. Netflix is now churning out cheap and broadly appealing reality TV shows like "Is It Cake?" Despite positioning itself for years as the ad-free way to watch TV, Netflix in October launched a lower-cost, ad-supported tier in many of its major markets. As the cheap money disappears, we're starting to get a better picture of the actual price of streaming media.

Bertie Pikington, un băiețel de 12 ani din Newbury, Marea Britanie, va renunța luna viitoare la impresionata sa podoabă capilară în scopuri caritabile. Am aflat de la o fetiță de vârsta mea despre cum e să suferi cancer și cum este să nu ai păr. Este vorba doar de a da înapoi, datorită faptului că eşti norocos că nu ai această boală”, a explicat băiețelul. O pagină JustGiving a fost creată de Bertie, cu o țintă inițială de strângere de fonduri de 550 de lire sterline. Creată în urmă cu 15 ani, organizația caritabilă oferă gratuit peruci copiilor și tinerilor de până la 24 de ani.

For those living in countries where it’s not yet exported, Vegemite comes in massive 560 gram jars and travel-sized tubes.
