See 10 years ago it was ALL in Netflix and everyone was happy. Studios got to get passive income and we only needed one service. Then the business bros got greedy and decided they needed more money and exclusivity while spending millions to stand up their own inferior services.

lol I was just yesterday saying that I fully expect these to fold and all the content to go back to Netflix where the studios can earn passive income with no more expense than paying their lawyers to write contracts.

And recently India too. There’s a hacking for hire scandal going on beyond just this incident. Worse: it was Indians hacking Indian journalists using Israeli spyware.

There’s a used media shop down the street and I’m contemplating getting dvd/bluray box sets of my favorites so that I have offline media available.

I’m trying go back to ordering directly from merchants rather than use Amazon. You don’t always have a choice though.

It’s fun to watch people react and move on rather than stop and consider.

My prediction is that it all goes back to Netflix when they decide it’s not worth the time and expense to run their own services. They had a nice passive income thing going on there for many years and can have it again if they just license their IP again.

Spez wanted to be Zuck and just like Zuck, he allowed bad people to abuse the site in order to hurt others.

I already had inactive subs removed from me. Not like anyone would ever recreate them. It’s weird.

For me it was a sub I participated in for years whose mod suddenly accused me of advocating for the abuse of children, told me I had mental health issues, and permanently banned and muted me. It was weird and I haven’t been back since.

16 years and agreed.

When I’ve gone back for a look I’ve found just the opposite. It’s just bots and trolls.
