Wait until they see “Smoke Hub” in Bakersfield, CA.
It’s literally the porn hub logo.

Yep. Disney+ (for now).
Netflix, HBO, and Hulu gradually cancelled over the last few years.
What’s stupid of them is that if they’d stayed around $8-10/mo each (ad-free), I probably would have stayed subscribed forever. Now they each get nothing.
I don’t mind Spotify increasing.
Inflation is real. And nobody wants to see the service turn into a Little Caesars “$5 Hot N Ready” pizza that erodes in quality, rather than gradually price increase with inflation.
The advantage we have with music streamers is that nearly ALL the content is on ALL the services. So, if one service goes bananas with pricing, we can jump ship to a cheaper one.
But TV is siloed into mini monopolies. The only source of capitalism competition they face is use choosing to do without. And frankly, if I’m gonna be forced-fed ads, I choose to do it on YouTube which costs me $0 and not $7.99 a month.
Netflix is gone. And as someone who leaves The Simpsons running 24/7 on Disney+, I’m frankly getting thiiiiiiiiiis close to dumping their asses, too!
So, 2003 called…

Exactly. How are exactly actors support to “share in failure” as their nonsense quote suggests?
I’d complain, except it hasn’t gone up in a decade.
Prices needs to go up a little bit every year to reflect CPI and inflation.
I agree. There should be some sort of a la carte service where you can pay a couple of bucks and use it for like a day.
I know this is a piracy community, but honestly I don’t mind paying for newspapers.com. I use it a lot just to read up on old articles and stuff and they seem to be doing a pretty good job adding new newspapers to the archive all the time.
For me piracy is great when the product is just outright overpriced because some corporate tools in New York or Los Gatos are trying to make their VC people happy.
I feel like Aaron Swartz exiting and later dying played a role. There was no longer his voice to check bad business behavior.
