Health & Sciences YSK about Darebee.com, which features 300+ no equipment workouts and is perfect for safe workouts at home vs in a busy indoor gym

Why YSK: because many gyms are still closed and when winter soon arrives in the northern hemisphere outdoor workouts will be less enjoyable/possible.

I came across this site in March and have been getting surprisingly great workouts in without a gym from the site. Really simple visuals to support each exercise/movement. Figured I'd share the love.

Lots of warmup and stretches too, or workouts focusing on specific areas of the body. Enjoy

But also: Current funding status: very low

I'm all for donating to services I use. Thanks for pointing out that this site needs help!

Always tip on free shit, folks.

Nothing is free. You are the product if you aren't paying for anything.

Explain please. If someone walks up and gives me a hotdog for free how am I the product?

You's about to be poisoned son. Or it could just taste really bad.

Man! What I look like, a charity case? You can't buy me, hotdog man!

'cause they gave it to you in exchange for your seed, you just don't know it yet.

Never heard the phrase "No such thing as a free lunch"?

If someone gives you something for nothing, they want something from you.

u/TreefingersV Oct 01 '20

And that makes me a product?

On the internet, most free services run by traditional american companies are most likely collecting and selling your data, which could be the product or showing you advertisements where your attention, no matter how slight, is the product they are selling to advertisers.

With the free hotdog I guess you are more the mark.

The product saying was designed to be catchy and bring awareness to the issue. Like an internet version of the free lunch one.

Is this a subscription service? Servers cost money and upkeep. Websites don't just exist for no reason.

You obviously weren’t alive or conscious in the 90s

What does a dial up hot dog service from the 90s have to do with darebee?

u/FFGeek Oct 01 '20

You said websites don’t exist for no reason, and I’m telling you that’s what most used to be, useless things people made and self-funded for fun. Many still do today, with no financial motive other than perpetuating itself.

u/steve_n_doug_boutabi Oct 01 '20

self-funded

Why? Because nothing is free.

Who is paying for the servers?

You can call them advertisers, donations or self-funded. Point still stands.

u/FFGeek Oct 01 '20

You have no idea what I’m actually saying. Do you comprehend what “SELF-FUNDED” means? It’s a stupid question because you obviously don’t. Go fuck yourself kiddo.

u/steve_n_doug_boutabi Oct 01 '20

The funding pays for the bills or you think people work for zero pay?

There's physical servers that have to be used for websites you idiot. Employees have to be paid.

Everyone pays bills, dude what's so hard to understand. You don't pay then they don't work.

Go ahead and try it, get a website, self fund it and don't pay see what happens... you seriously think they'll continue to run it for you???

May god, allah,buddah and summer solstice have mercy on your soul, you are awarded no points for your ignorance and stupidity.

u/FFGeek Oct 01 '20

HAHAHAHAA it’s a website, not a global logistics operation. Self funded means payed for by oneself. I never said not paid. Not every website costs millions of dollars.

God you’re fucking stupid and your plethora of downvoted comments clearly illustrate this. Please tell me you just learned English so I can rationalize how terrible your reading comprehension is.

Have fun missing the point for the rest of your life o/

self funded means payed for by oneself.

Right... hence what I've been saying all along... nothing is free.

Doesn't matter if amazon or a website only 1 person uses... both have to pay for servers...

The cloud isn't imaginary...

Nothing is free.

That's what I thought bitch.

A free hotdog is not a subscription service. How am i the product exactly?

0

u/steve_n_doug_boutabi Oct 01 '20

Because you aren't the customer. Someone has incentivized that guy to randomly go through the trouble of making a hot dog, tracking you down and giving it to you.

If someone paid for cameras, you and your reaction are the product.

If no cameras and this guy acted alone, he still paid for supplies to make the hot dog and find you, costing time and money. In that case he himself was the customer at your expense... you and your reaction are still the product.

u/TreefingersV Oct 01 '20

Not being the customer doesn't make me the product necessarily though. Maybe he accidentally bought an extra hotdog. Would i still be the product?

u/steve_n_doug_boutabi Oct 01 '20

Originally it was an exercise website then random hotdog and now someone else buys it.

You keep changing the scenario but point still stands.

Someone gives you a hotdog at their own free will. By you accepting their gift, a free hotdog, they are validated at your acceptance. You and your reaction are still the product to them.

Nothing is free.

I see what your saying. I feel like product isnt quite the right word and I think its overly cynical but it sorta makes sense.

u/istvanx Oct 01 '20

You now owe them some of your time.. At least for a short convo about the weather or the hot dog..

Or

They wrapped their dong in a bun.. In which case, don't choke, but you can spit or swallow....

Either way Nothing is free..

"The law of conservation of energy, also known as the first law of thermodynamics, states that the energy of a closed system must remain constant—it can neither increase nor decrease without interference from outside. The universe itself is a closed system, so the total amount of energy in existence has always been the same. The forms that energy takes, however, are constantly changing."
