I agree, but the current landscape is such that it feels like seeing a street performer only accepting tips in Bitcoin. Do you want my money or not?

It's made clear to me every time I want to go watch something and am willing to pay money for it but it's not available on any of the platforms (read: middlemen) I pay to subscribe to; I have to subscribe to yet another one just to see that show. Or it was there until yesterday, then it was removed without warning.

I found myself in a position recently where the only way I could watch a particular show would be if I went down to the store and bought the box set on DVD. But I don't own a DVD player, haven't needed one in years, and wasn't about to buy one..



So just don’t watch it. I don’t get why that’s so hard.


Nobody here got anywhere in life by making a habit of giving up at the first sign of resistance.


You know you are talking about tv shows and movies right?


people survive when if they don't get to watch their favorite show
