lol so Amazon Prime announces they're moving everyone by default to an ad supported tier unless you pay more, and now Disney+ is also introducing an ad supported tier as well as account sharing/login restrictions on devices outside your home a la Netflix.
Media companies you had an ecosystem where you could still make money and it was cheaper than cable and more convenient than "piracy" so us consumers were all for it.
"Piracy" was basically defeated and now the tides are rising again.... 🤣
@totalclaireity on top of all the inconvenient moneygrabbing, streaming platforms silently yanking things from availability is driving it for me. I saw a tiktok ad for a HBO Max animated series and all the top comments were "so it's going to get quietly cancelled, no physical release, and become totally unavailable after a year or two, right? just like infinity train?"
the reasons for pirating that have nothing to do with saving money just keep on growing
Yeah removing content for tax write-off purposes annoys me for so many reasons.
At the very least I feel if their able to pull it for tax writeoff reasons, they should be forced to make the content public domain so it's still available to everyone.
