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.... 🤣
Not only the ad thingy is very alarming but also the constant rise of "special channels" you shall pay for ON TOP of the "basic" streaming. Want season4 of lower decks? Oh look, now its on the paramount+ thing and not in "basic premium" (these words dont seem to fit well).
It really is. The /only/ benefit is that you can sub/unsub on a month to month basis to rotate out what you're watching.
That is until they start forcing you to sub for 3, 6, 12 month periods anyway (cause I'd be willing to bet that's coming too!)
I'll watch season 4 after the finale in November because of this nonsense : (
@totalclaireity @faoluin Sad.
But then you can binge it! And november isn't that far any more (for the better or the worse)
I'll wish you tons of fun already!
That's true! Maybe I'll rewatch seasons 1 - 3 again before I do.
