Just a reminder, you can still watch older #StarTrek on Pluto TV, Roku, H&I, any others? #FkParamount
@Phangurl Or you can buy them? But I guess that money still goes to Paramount... 🤷🏻‍♂️
@scentedmeat I did think about that. It'd be super expensive to buy all of them but at least the money would only go to them once as opposed to for years and years and years? I don't know. Oooh. I know...buy the DVDs used! (If you could find them.) But then again we want them to have a financial incentive to do more star trek. We do that by buying the dvds? Isn't P+ a publicly held company? If so, then Ellison has to answer to the board of directors if there's a massive drop in subscribers. He may be the majority shareholder? I don't know.
@Phangurl I only buy digital these days. Rather do that than have more "stuff. Sure it gives them $$$, but it's only once instead of recurring and it sends a signal about what people like and spend money on.
@scentedmeat that's true. And digital is cheaper and easier to access but there was a court case that said we don't really "own" digital. You don't worry about losing your investment?
@Phangurl I have been aware of this for a loooong time. As a very bad Buddhist, I know that attachments can be really bad. If I lose em, I lose em.
@scentedmeat I like that. At the end of the day it's just things.
