Am purist. Grilled cheese doesn’t have meat, otherwise it’s a grilled x with cheese or grilled cheese with x. Maybe if like, there’s a shit-ton of cheese and a sprinkling of meat crumble it could maybe still be a grilled cheese?, but calling a grilled meat sandwich a grilled cheese is like calling a salad with rasins, soy dressing, and grilled chicken a cesear salad just because it has ceasear dressing. You can call it cesear WITH chicken, but the minute it departs from what a specific and narrowly defined sub-item in a category of things is, you need to clarify that.
Like maybe if you radically improve the original so much that it becomes the standard? Then you can use the name? Like how modern Caesar salads explicitly use anchovy paste rather than Worcestershire sauce, which is where the anchovy flavor came from originally. I’m okay with that being called a Caesar salad because it is really good and close enough that the distinction doesn’t need to be made unless it’s the topic of the conversation, but you still can’t just say it’s the original recipe.
Tldr: A grilled cheese sandwich is specifically a cheese-only filling sandwich.
I pay for it. I paid for it a little while after yt red came out. Then bought a family plan because it was such a good deal and not having ads and paying to support my creators is worth it.
But it keeps going up and I want to cancel. But, I guess so many people decided to block ads on yt instead of doing what I did (yt’s logic, not sure if the sole or primary reason), that now there’s a million long af ads? It’s kind of like the health insurance cost increase feedback loop (uninsured gets hurt, gets treated, drives cost for paying customers up, less people get insurance, more people driving cost for paying customers up, repeat).
Paying the 7 bucks a month (84/y)for yt red back then was a barely acceptable deal. But NOW I’m paying close to 30 (360/y)now for a family plan and that’s just not okay (when I first started family plan, it was like 13.xx/m (156/y), and that was a great deal). Maybe I’ll buy a pi-hole and cancel, because this shit is ridiculous and I can’t afford it.
