Spectrum, also known as Charter Spectrum, is one of the biggest cable and internet companies in the country. But today, the company is facing some of the strongest backlash we have seen in years. From rising prices to rude customer service to major service interruptions, many customers say they have reached their breaking point. For a long time, people have been calling out Spectrum for what they describe as bad business practices. Many say the company does not treat its customers with respect. Others say the support they receive is rushed, cold, or unhelpful. When people call in for help, they often feel like they are being talked down to instead of being heard. One customer I spoke to said, “It feels like they don’t even care if we stay or leave. They just want the money.”
And that is a feeling many others share. The biggest complaint by far is the sky-high prices. Bills have gone up again and again, while the service itself has gotten worse. People are now paying more money for internet and cable that hardly works. This has pushed many families to say, “Enough is enough,” and start looking at other companies. But beyond the price, there is another major problem: service interruptions.

Entire neighborhoods report losing internet or cable for hours, sometimes even days. When customers call for help, they say the response is slow or dismissive. With so many people working from home today, or depending on their internet for school or business, this kind of failure is not just annoying — it is damaging. A popular speaker named Yogovinay recently talked about this issue, saying we sometimes need to let God handle the situation. He also reminded people to read their contracts closely and follow the guidance God gives them when making choices.

His message to customers was simple but strong: don’t let rude service keep you down, just move on and find someone who will actually help you. That message has been shared widely because a lot of people feel the same way. They are tired of arguing with customer service. They are tired of being blamed for problems that are not their fault. They are tired of waiting on hold only to be treated poorly when someone finally answers the call. If Spectrum wants to keep its customers, something has to change. People want fair prices, good service, and basic respect. They want to know that when they call for help, someone will actually care. Right now, many customers feel Spectrum has forgotten that. And until the company fixes these issues, more and more people will continue to walk away.

During the podcast, Renae and her team noted that the censorship reports became more frequent shortly after news outlets began acknowledging the existence of the leaked emails. Listeners were shown examples of creators whose videos lasted only a few hours before receiving automated takedown notices. In other cases, creators who have no history of community-guideline violations suddenly found themselves flagged for “harmful or misleading content,” despite citing publicly available documents or referencing mainstream reporting.

Journalists covering the episode emphasized a key concern: the perceived unevenness in how enforcement occurs. While smaller independent channels face rapid action, larger corporate outlets frequently retain full access and monetization on similar subjects. This inconsistency fuels speculation that YouTube’s algorithm — or internal moderation teams — may be more aggressively targeting non-establishment voices discussing the case.

Pinellas Park opened a brand-new Bojangles at 7930 U.S. Highway 19 North, but locals are shocked to learn it doesn’t serve bone-in chicken. As a tourist state, Florida expected better. Let’s talk about the disappointment.

If there is one thing Floridians can agree on, it’s that when a new restaurant opens especially a national chain people expect the full experience. That’s why the brand-new Bojangles location in Pinellas Park, sitting right at 7930 U.S. Highway 19 North, is causing such a stir. Instead of excitement, many locals walked in with high expectations and walked out asking the same frustrating question: “Where is the regular bone-in chicken?”

Today I want to share something that God spoke to my heart — a real revelation that completely changed how I look at relationships, love, and even heartbreak. It all started when my daughter called me crying because her boyfriend had cheated on her. As a mother, my first reaction was pure anger. I wanted to protect her, to fix it, to make that young man understand what he did wrong. But as I sat with God, He began to speak to me in a way that stopped me in my tracks. God said, “He had no obligation to her.” At first, that didn’t sit right with me. I wanted justice. I wanted to see him feel the pain he caused my daughter. But then the Holy Spirit began revealing the truth to me — that if two people are not married, there is no covenant between them. Without that covenant, there is no spiritual obligation to faithfulness. It hit me hard because I had to admit that my daughter, as much as she was wronged, also stepped into something that wasn’t protected under God’s design. See, in the Bible, God makes it very clear that intimacy and commitment belong within marriage. The Word says, “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.” It doesn’t say “he who dates many women” or “she who gives her body to prove love.” Marriage is where that protection, that sacred promise, comes in. That’s where faithfulness isn’t just expected — it’s required before God. So when we enter relationships without that covenant, we’re stepping outside of the safety God created for our hearts. We’re “playing house” — pretending to have a life together without the covering of marriage. And that’s when people get hurt.

That’s what happened to my daughter. She gave her time, her body, and her emotions to a man who was never obligated by God’s standards to protect her heart.  And I say this not to judge her — she’s my child, and I love her deeply — but to share what God opened my eyes to. We live in a world that encourages dating, hookups, and situationships like it’s nothing. But God’s Word hasn’t changed. When we choose to go our own way and ignore His order, we’re stepping out from under His protection. That’s why so many people today are heartbroken, confused, and angry when relationships fall apart.

But truthfully, if we never made that covenant before God, can we really expect His blessing on it?  God showed me that a lot of us are slaves to sin and don’t even realize it. We chase love, attention, and validation, but we do it outside of His will. Then when we get hurt, we blame the other person instead of looking at the fact that we placed ourselves in a position where sin ruled the situation. But God says, “You don’t have to be a slave to sin.” You can walk away from it, you can turn back, and you can start over His way.
