  • Streaming services (especially when it’s only one) being the only way to watch a show legally is such a garbage way of distribution.

    The decline of physical media has also really hurt how media is monetized.

    Imo they should adopt a 3-free episodes system (streamed), then you can pay for the rest of the series if you want to watch. I think either by episode streamed (with download available), and/or get the season as a download and/or blue-ray or usb flash drive. And forget the drm, that shit isn’t stopping anyone.

    Of course none of that will ever happen because publishing and licensing companies are greedy leeches. But the “pay forever, own nothing” model makes it hard to not justify piracy.









  • Yeah it’s pretty sad. Back in high school a bunch of my friends would hang out at the Waffle House sometime between 10pm and 4am several times a week. It was 3.25 for coffee and a waffle. If you forgot your wallet you could usually scrounge for change under your friends car seats and make it happen. That was about 10 years ago, but man it feels like a whole different time, and just yesterday all at the same time. The cost of everything now makes me sick
