floofloofThe era of cheap streaming is officially over
NacktmullBack to piracy …
I’m not even going to bother with that, all the shows are shit.
Steaming and gamkng companies are so bad these day motherfuckers are actually going outside and enjoying life.
oatscoopI would never pirate anything since it’s illegal and immoral.
But I imagine the selfish criminals that do like the fact they can limit their media consumption to the occasional worthwhile thing.
CyanogenmonI honestly can’t tell if you’re trolling.
Also, “limiting their consumption to the occasional worthwhile thing” can also be written as:
“spend their well-earned time actually watching something worth the investment”
And “they might even assuage their guilt by paying for it…” as:
“if they find content they enjoy, they’d like to show that monetarily and hopefully boost the production of more content of that same caliber”
I just want those large, deep pocketed, sue-happy corporation’s legal teams to know I’m a good consumer that never violates DMCA.
If you could download a car, you bet your ass you would
That’s a far worse hypothetical crime than you realize: it hurts the profits of billionaires. How would they be able to afford to buy politicians and judges if consumers went out and illegally downloaded cars?
chickenZero guilt, never pay. Bonus: no guilt for dropping something midway through out of disgust at its poor quality, because you just wasted X dollars on it.
I actually feel more guilt dropping things I downloaded since I wasted bandwidth and storage on it.
If you haven’t spent extra money on that bandwidth and storage, what’s the problem? Just delete it and download something else?
But I spend more time and stuff on it then I would on a streaming service’s series.
For streaming I don’t lose anything by dropping a series, it’s not like I spend any extra money or time or anything getting the series.
Fair enough, that makes sense for streaming. I was thinking more along the lines of books and videogames, but this thread is about streaming.
In what world is it immoral?
Where do your morals stem fom ? A child’s book ?.
That is an alternative I´m not going to argue against, you wholesome motherfucker :)
all the shows are shit.
That was one of the main reasons I cut cable years ago.
The amount of content worth watching (let alone worth paying for) had become far too low.
Combine that with the constant price increases and worsening of the content-to-commercials ratio, and it was a easy decision to make.
It’s going to be even worse for a while with the writers strike.
Especially since these services will drop their original content after awhile…
Is Willow considered lost media yet?
