no
You can define "beta" whatever weird way you want but don't complain when it's not how literally everyone else uses it and don't complain when you're paying for something that uses the term the way everyone else does
- JohnFen 3y agoMy "weird way" is old-school, I admit, but it's not weird. It used to be mainstream. Google led the charge to deprive "beta" of actual meaning. I won't stop pushing back on it, because the redefinition makes it more difficult to talk about technical issues. > don't complain when you're paying for something that uses the term the way everyone else does I won't, because I won't pay to be a beta tester in the first place. I don't care what others do.
- insanitybit 3y ago> because I won't pay to be a beta tester in the first place. Apparently you will, because you started this thread with "why am I paying for this beta software?".
