lol I just love the part where only your viewpoint is valid

Believe it or not, I came in here in good faith hoping to have conversations and learn. I was not prepared for the projected insecurity from so many who are the keepers of the super special knowledge that makes them important people

you and others have convinced me that this instance is toxic and to move elsewhere. I return you to your regularly scheduled bubble.

Yep. This is all a PR machine like what W had.

lol first thing I do when getting a computer is wiping the disk and installing Linux.

I think your ephithets proved my point better than I did.

In the end, I asked what alternative people proposed to Biden. There was no response, just personal attacks.

I’m referring specifically to older content. Is there really a reason that Star Trek the Next Generation shouldn’t be in Netflix, for example? Paramount isn’t enough of an offer so they may be losing out on a great deal of passive income.

What’s weird is that I’ve been banned in a couple forums just for trying to understand why everyone is pissed off. Thanks for the info, glad it’s not me.

Is it me or does she look like the Slitheen lady from Doctor who?

lol people keep saying this but it’s all bots and trolls when you go look over there

There will be something new and we’ll all become Gen Alpha’s boomers.

Being serious, however, who can predict? We’ll have to be patient and see what happens.

You’re probably right.

I suspect that even they know that this is their own projected insecurities and that they don’t have any real justification. Better question: why do we separate players by sex in chess? Why does that matter? Just make one group and call it done.

That model may also be dead. Nobody really sees movies anymore, not like before, and nobody wants to wait 6 months for the season to end. That’s very much a 1950s - 2010 model. Not sure what will replace it, but some combination of games and informal content like YouTube/TikTok etc might be where we end up.

These sorts of moves don’t tend to happen quickly. The board may be a bunch of pearl clutchers but there may also be more to this story.

In any case, reputational damage is fully subjective and they may have to prove that harm occurred or pay out a huge settlement.

Wow. Rhetoric is important. You have to convince people. Sometimes that’s doing it with them.

That’s part of my point. They don’t have to lift a finger. Just let Netflix pay for the storage, the data centers, the bandwidth. Studios will get something out of it for doing literally nothing. But they got greedy and broke the model.

Sorry, but I just don’t trust polls anymore. They never really get a representation of the public as a whole and instead end up talking with the only interested parties: bored conservative old people.

Many people have an attitude that if something isn’t perfect you don’t do it, even if it’s so much better than doing nothing. It’s a weird reactionary thing and shows a complete lack of critical thinking.

There’s probably a law that states when and how to bring a complaint and what the maximums are. Many states have such laws to put on limits. Those stories you hear about a jury awaiting hundreds of millions will usually be reduced by many orders of magnitude when the actual sentence/order is set.

See 10 years ago it was ALL in Netflix and everyone was happy. Studios got to get passive income and we only needed one service. Then the business bros got greedy and decided they needed more money and exclusivity while spending millions to stand up their own inferior services.

lol I was just yesterday saying that I fully expect these to fold and all the content to go back to Netflix where the studios can earn passive income with no more expense than paying their lawyers to write contracts.
