rather than this stupid fucking snip snap game where, instead of, as a user being able to buy into a company that’s building a massive, marvelous, library-of-alexandria-core archive of every good show ever made, you’re paying into some shitty ephemeral bullshit made by stupid greedy dickheads who have no fucking sense

    I was a huge supporter of Netflix when it launched. Easy to use, affordable, and lots of selection. As the streaming service has splintered and shows disappear without warning I find myself back on the high seas.

    As Gabe once said:

    One thing that we have learned is that piracy is not a pricing issue. It’s a service issue,

    If you make it harder to stream and keep up with what’s where then piracy it’s no surprise people will ultimately choose the latter. Though the price thing has gotten crazy too. Multiple streaming services can now equal or eclipse cable TV prices… And yeah, you can come and go but again that comes back to the service issue. I don’t know about you but I don’t want to have to evaluate monthly which streaming services I need then drop the ones I don’t and add the ones I do.
