OP said it’s 20% to 56% depending on currency.
Comment on RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it

The difference between $12 and $14 is not equal to 50% of $12.

Then he should put that in the title.
Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Thats fair, but equally you should read the post.
Like you have never had to dilute a clickbaity title before…

What we should do is blame OP for deliberately choosing a title that makes it look worse than it is.
papertowels@lemmy.one 2 months ago
Just to be clear, by “read the post” do you mean go through all the comments of the mega thread OP shared? That seems unreasonable as opposed to “OP could’ve been clearer”.
Is there a more summarized version then “all the reddit comments on a mega thread” anywhere?

But $12 to $14 is <20%…
ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
But there’s more than one currency.
olafurp@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Different currencies…
Weslee@lemmy.world 2 months ago
There are other currencies in the world.
Euro is going from 8 to 12.5, which is higher than 50%
ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
That’s 36% but I’m sure it’s higher in some other currencies.
semi@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
12.5/8=1.5625, so the Euro price went up by 56.25%
LeroyJenkins@lemmy.world 2 months ago

I shouldn’t do math right when I wake up.
Enoril@jlai.lu 2 months ago
Not sure, took me some time to remember we were talking about % increase.
Not everybody is natively good at math ^^
Itwasthegoat@lemmy.world 2 months ago
No, it’s a 56% increase. The increase is based on the before number, not after. 8->16 would be a 100% price increase
testo12@lemmynsfw.com 2 months ago
You divide by the old price, not the new one:
12.5 / 8 = 156%
Apollo42@lemmy.world 2 months ago
8 eur to 12.5 eur is a 56.25% increase. 16 would be a 100% increase.
intensely_human@lemm.ee 2 months ago
50% would have to be 18
Apollo42@lemmy.world 2 months ago
50% of 8 is 4, so increasing from 8 to 12.5 is an increase of over 50%.
