Yea, I can pay 7 different services 10$ a month just so I can keep access to the tv shows I like. And pay another 10$ a month per service if I want it in decent quality. And install 7 different slow af apps to use them… and I’ll have to hope they just darn cast to the tv this time.
Aw dangit my show isn’t on Netflix… Hulu? no, amazon prime? ah Disney+ perhaps? Ow wait no I have to sign into the tv for that one, where’s the darn remote. Oh man, they discontinued one of my shows, I was halfway through!
Oh hey, totally_royalty_free.mp4 is on this 2nd result on google. Adblock does it’s job, nice. I wish Netflix was still this convenient. Why can’t billion dollar companies work together?
Gabe Newell said it best
“Piracy is almost always a service problem & not a pricing issue”
Though today, It’s definitely a pricing issue with streaming companies getting super greedy
I’d say it’s a service issue. I can see a trailer for a movie and have no idea where to watch it. And there’s a tonne of places to check where it might be. And even then, they all have their own app? building? payment plan? device requirements? style?
Then there’s the seven seas, nice and consistent
Try Justwatch you see where movies and shows are available (if anywhere).
Agree on everything, except
They do work together, just not publicly.
Looks bad when all the banks, supermarkets, insurance companies, oil and gas cartels set their own rules in mateship. So its purposely hidden, oh yes we are definitely in competition when its a duolopy/oligarchy *wink wink
