HookShot posted:In the apartment building we used to live in there was a bunch of water in the carpet one day so we assumed that a pipe burst, told the management company and went on with our lives because it was like three apartments down from ours. But if your mortgage debt service payment is breaking even from the rental payments, how can you expect the poor landlord to maintain his apartment??? That's simply not sustainable. Renters just need to adjust their expectations and learn to live without hot water.

I feel like both the tenant and landlord share some blame, but mainly the lovely landlord. (At least in Ontario) No - you're not allowed to withhold rent for any reason. It's up to the landlord to get someone to fix the problem (NB: he can get you to do it, but that's a separate deal). If the landlord doesn't do anything, you go to the tribunal who might give you permission to do it yourself and then withhold corresponding rent. Process might take a bit though.

That's simply not sustainable. Renters just need to adjust their expectations and learn to live without hot water. If I had to guess, I'd say Whistler has the best rent:mortgage payment ratio in the country right now. Seriously, a couple months ago there was a house up for sale for 900k with a suite generating 4k a month. You could live in the upstairs and have the tenants cover the entire mortgage payment. It's loving ridiculous. Kill all landlords.

The best case scenario for Hootsuite is that they will remain the de facto Twitter cron job vendor until Twitter becomes irrelevant, at which point their entire business will evaporate. Like at least BlackBerry had an actual product of their own making.

Hootsuite also acquired 6 or 7 of them over the past few years. They spent a loooooot of their cash on bedroom startups to maintain their position in the market.

Twitter's market cap has declined by 50% since April, and 62% since its peak, so it's not surprising that a third party app that heavily relies on them is really feeling the pain.

I'm getting this purely from a quick scan of their webpage, but it seems that all the things they do, which seems like a lot more than just tweet scheduling, applies to Facebook, Instagram, and probably some other social media services as well. Even if Twitter severely declined there'd still be value to the product. I think people are discounting the value of the service, though I don't work in internet marketing so I'm not sure how much of their product is truly unique and valuable and how much of it is useless fluff.

I feel like both the tenant and landlord share some blame, but mainly the lovely landlord. I've had to deal with a number of mentally deficient landlords who didn't realise there are things like "tenancy laws" or "basic human decency", so I've got a bit of experience in figuring out rules in BC. Even here, where the laws are heavily in favour of the tenant, you can't just hold back rent. That's one of the few things that a landlord can use to get an eviction notice. When you need to have emergency repairs done, you've got to call the emergency contact number your landlord gave you (if they realised they were required to provide one). If, after two attempts, they fail to respond in a reasonable manner, you can then get the repairs done, pay for it yourself, and demand (in writing) reimbursement for the costs. If your landlord continues to be a shithead, you can then withhold your costs from subsequent rent payments. You've got to give the landlord ample opportunity to sort the problem out before withholding rent. Blows my mind how many people on both sides of the coin can't use google. http://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/housing-tenancy/residential-tenancies First link that came up for a google search of "bc tenancy" Although, it can be pretty profitable for you if your landlord doesn't know what's up regarding returning your deposit. One weird trick to get double your deposit back: Idiots unaware of tenancy laws hate him!

I don't think I've ever heard about a region, in the US or Canada, where it's okay to withhold rent without dealing with a court or using notarized complaints first. If you unilaterally decide to just stop paying rent because your landlord is poo poo, it will destroy your case when it eventually ends up in a court, no matter how ridiculous the reason is.

Well, you shouldn't do it on the drop of a hat, but if you can't take a shower, and the landlord has been notified and done nothing, you should have it fixed yourself. Basic hygiene is not a luxury. Then, if they don't agree to pay for it, in writing, you should deduct it from rent. Let them take it to court, they probably won't win unless you're obviously trying to gently caress them by submitting an inflated bill.

Even if Twitter severely declined there'd still be value to the product. Instagram is pointless because you can't put links in your poo poo. The only companies that are going to use it for Instagram are big ones like say, Honda, and I guarantee you HS makes 90%+ of their money off small and medium (<$5 million a year) companies. Facebook already has this built in, and it's WAY easier to use than HootSuite. Companies need to tweet to keep customers a lot more than they need to do things with their other social media pages. If Twitter goes down, HS will go down with it. The only other social media service where I can see the HS model actually working well is Pinterest. They make it really annoying to manually pin things. I haven't used HS in a while though and don't know if they're supported... I'm pretty sure they don't have a normal 3rd party API so a lot of automated programs don't support it.

Hootsuite has always been more closely tied to Twitter than any other platform and a large amount of their valuation is tied to Twitter being an important/useful platform to advertise on.

Because internet marketing is so much more than you getting a Facebook post in your timeline from a company you like. A lot of it is the shadiest legal poo poo you'll ever see, and a lot of illegal poo poo too. And it makes billions upon billions of dollars a year.
