Maybe this is the people telling the other competitors to fuck off with their own streaming services. Maybe they think staying loyal to just one of them, things can go back to resemble how it was +5 years ago.

I don't think any company that becomes shit ever goes back to being not shit again...

Sorry, I can't hear you over how much they have businesses over the barrel with their absurd subscription licensing costs

How has MS become more friendly to FOSS? (Genuine question)
