They're probably just leveraging the good will they have as the plucky underdog. I personally found the app clunky and that the videos loaded really slowly, but I don't blame them for offering a lifetime subscription.

Either that, or it's just price anchoring and they weren't expecting anyone to spend $300, but it made the other options look cheaper

SmartTube is some of the greatest software ever made

I think all these other countries only care about the fact that India has a burgeoning middle class and is going to become the next consumption led market. Everyone has too much of their own stuff to deal with at the moment, but they love the idea of huge cohort of new customers over the coming decades, regardless of who's in charge

Not to take away from your post, which is nuanced and interesting. But I think the buck stops at the economics for most

The only way I have found to get reliable IPTV services is to post on local Facebook groups. There is invariably a few middle-aged guys who can't spell properly and who can you "mate" who will know which service works best in your area and be resellers of said service. A few 24-hour trials and you can usually figure out what suits you best.

I suspect that these big corporations were advised by banks and the government to scale back work from home policies to avoid triggering a real estate market collapse in cities by vacating expensive office space en masse. This could cause defaults by landlords and a housing crisis as workers no longer need to pay premiums to live near offices. An exodus from cities would crater housing markets, which would severely damage the overall economy. Thus corporations are only half-heartedly pushing for office returns to avert an economic crisis, despite the cost savings of remote work

Good advice, thanks. And the heatmap idea in general is pretty clever

Looks like Cinnamon is the way to go, thanks. I'll give it a spin tomorrow, thanks for your help

Plenty of good info there, thanks for the thorough response. I'll probably go the live USB route, which I'd forgotten was a thing. That way any hardware issues should be apparent pretty quickly
