every pirate related theme song getting increasingly louder in the background
I have a feeling part of their plan is to sink all the pirate ships.

If watching One Piece has taught me anything, it’s that if you try and kill a pirate all that happens is you make better pirates.
They’re like spiders
Yo-ho, all together, hoist the colors high. Heave ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die!

Already downloaded 4tb of movies and shows :)
Don’t forget to seed!
My average seed time is well over a year. Private trackers love me.
I even upgraded my pipe to fiber so I can share Plex with my friends and family. Built a machine with 16TBx6 RAID. Cost me a shit ton more than a year of all the streaming services but fuck them.
cost me a shit ton
Yes but now you have an elephantine Silicon Schlong

Arr!
The slow march back to cable is unstoppable.
Pirate everything. Share everything.
Piracy is an access problem, not a consumer problem.
It turns out cable wasn’t some unique product or way of doing things, it’s just the natural form media delivery takes under capitalism. Streaming services are convergently evolving to take that shape too.
I mean that’s not even a little correct.
Streaming allows you to watch videos on demand, and allows you to choose from a littany of providers, where you were previously limited to whoever laid cable in your neighborhood.
It felt inevitable at some point this was going to happen after they got caught off guard by the strikes to make sure that it never happens again, but the fight is not over yet.
It’s more important than ever then for you guys to support the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike, fight for workers, and fight for unions.
Otherwise, they’ll just keep squeezing and squeezing, until there is nothing left.
Imagine missing the point so completely. Streaming, what a joke now.
They’re capitalists. It’s what they do.
Lobbying should be fucking banned.
It is far more likely that remarks against lobbying will be banned, because someone would lobby for that.
It’s still a useful mechanic to be able to influence government policy in between elections. Not all lobbying is pushing for this dystopian stuff, this is just what ends up in the news.
In Canada anyone can review federal and provincial lobbying activity. Eg:

I’m guessing there is something like that for the US.
This is honestly what Google should’ve done with Fiber.
Big tech’s lobbyist dollars would have beaten Comcast’s with ease.
Wtf is shudder!?
I think it’s a horror movie/series focused platform
Spot on! The past few years has seen them get bigger budgets and they’ve pulled off some pretty clever/creepy movies
Horror and scifi based streaming service.
It slapzzz.
Oh sounds interesting, not available were I am compared with the rest in the thumbnail but sounds cool. Although clearly is one of those of subbing 1 or 2 months and leave, because it seems very focused on certain content. Unless is super cheap of course.
Its cheaper than the main ones (hulu, prime, etc ) and such and honestly a lot of good content. But i love horror so maybe im bias.
Oh sounds interesting, not available were I am
Try mullvad vpn and change location to the usa, maybe?
Maybe works no idea but usually they check for the credit card being from USA or other checks but I haven’t check maybe there is a way.
It’s so good. They pick up some pretty niche shit that bigger services wouldn’t even think of.
Agreed.
Check out
The Beach house

Dagon
Thanks! I haven’t watched The Beach House yet, but Dagon is great
Streaming has ultimately taught me how little I ‘need’ to watch since it trains you to really only seek out a couple things per service. I’ve also become very advertisment sensitive being blessed with tools to avoid that and companies honeymooning people for a while with fewer ads compared to what cable did.
Obviously, the dipshits are springing their ‘trap’ but I’m not bullish on the strategy of forcing consumers to suddenly tolerate a return of ads everywhere and always on entertainment. I just see folks running away again/further disconnecting from traditional media.
Yup. The high seas are looking more attractive every day.
The search for something to watch and to evaluate what streaming service I should subscribe for the next 2 months or so has become so tedious and the overall quality so low that I’m simply giving up on them as a whole. The price increase and ads weren’t even necessary to drive me away. They only ensure I will not come back.
The Expectables.
With our powers combined we are CAPTAIN (old) CABLE!!!
This can only be a bad thing.
They will win and like live nation, will merge with more well placed companies until they are printing their own money.
Great, now let me pay a single fee for the SIA, and be able to watch anything on any of those channels. I’d happily pay a higher amount for that privilege.
