The Rise of Netflix Competitors Has Pushed Consumers Back Toward Piracy

You know, it’s almost like that was the fucking problem in the first place you stupid bastards

the absolute need for every online video platform to become just like cable tv despite the fact their success comes from not being like cable tv is just overwhelming 

I don’t know it actually feels like they’re trying to be worse than cable because

Disney, for example, will soon be pulling most of its fare from Netflix as it launches its own streaming service this year. Studies have shown that nearly every major broadcaster will have launched their own streaming service by 2022. And these companies are increasingly choosing to keep their own content as in-house exclusives in order to drive subscriptions.

cable doesn’t make you pay for each individual channel or every channel owned by one company separately. And from the looks of it, most of these specific channel and company streaming sites are about as much money, if not more, than the more broad platforms like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon.

What really gets me about this is how obvious it is they didn’t grasp what it was about legal streaming services that drove piracy down to begin with. People were finally able to find the shows and movies they liked for cheap! Sometimes even for free with ad support, was was Hulu’s old way of doing things and as is still most of how Crunchyroll handles things.

I think the worst part is it assumes either everyone just has that much money or everyone has some deeply embedded brand loyalty and will flock quickly to their favorite brand in absence of everything else. But as many of those millennial shaming articles love to point out, most of us don’t have brand loyalty! Especially with entertainment! We like more than one thing! We like variety! Why shouldn’t we? Why should we just take whatever the same people feed us forever?

The problem with these subscription services is that while they don’t cost much individually, it all adds up. If you want to watch all of the exclusive shows legally, then you’ve gotta subscribe not just to Netflix, but also to Amazon Prime, Hulu, Crunchyroll, DC Universe, that upcoming Disney streaming service, that thing Apple are doing, etc.

Doesn’t seem so cheap now, does it?

I only use a few streaming services. If the show I want to watch is not on Netflix or Amazon Prime, then I will pirate it, because it is not worth paying an extra subscription fee just for one show.

Thank you Canada that is a great name

I’M FREAKING CRYING I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT WAS THE INSPIRATION

TIL there’s a waterfall where nobody knows where the water goes. Minnesota’s Devil’s Kettle Falls dumps into a giant pothole with no seeable exit. Researchers have poured dye, ping-pong balls, even logs into it, then watched the lake for any sign of them. So far, none have ever been found.

im honestly disappointed that the raw water thing faded from public consciousness without us hearing about even a single insane rich fuck dying of some medieval disease

my little sister just found out at school that you can create a religion and wants me to help her turn Halloween into a year long religion. And i  never knew i wanted this until now. We will be the Halloween Cult. I am so ready for this.

My sister came up with some cult rules.

1. Do not deny the spooky.
2. Be nice to children.
3. Don’t be pressuring others into the religion, if they don’t want to hear leave them alone.
4. Every second Wednesday of each month is Pumpkin Worship, that is when you eat pumpkin flavored things, carve pumpkins, or burn pumpkin spice scented candles. Just embrace the pumpkin.
5. Don’t be mean to other people for reasons they can’t control, but hey if they are doing it on purpose just to annoy you, destroy them.
6. No touch other people if they don’t want you to, this includes hair.
7. Halloween is a holy day, embrace it and become one with the spooky.
8. Costumes are an everyday thing, but sometimes it can be inappropriate, be aware of when to embrace the spooky and when to just be a little spooky.
9. Don’t let anyone tell you you can’t be spooky, and if they do tell you then they don’t know what they’re talking about. You can be all the spooky all you want.
10. Be nice to animals.
11. Be ready to help others when you can but still remember that you need to put your needs first.
12. You are spooky, you are amazing, you are fabulous. Say it.
13. idk but i think we need more, go ask you internet nerd friends.

can yall think of anything else?

OKay i asked her how one would join the cult and she said to light a jack-o-lantern on a full moon then yodel into the night for the pumpkin king and if he approves you, you will hear someone yell “stut the fuck up” then you are part of the cult.

have fun yodeling my friends
