I have Netflix and prime and if I'm missing out on some hit new show on a different then too fuckin bad for that show. I'm with the management on this one. I want to pay for things but I simply don't partake at all if they don't make it easy. No show is so good that I need to pirate it to live the phenomenon or whatever.

yeah. having 97 different streaming services is real dumb but :capitalism:

i think the apple tv would be a lot more interesting if steve jobs was still alive, he was probably the only big enough rear end in a top hat to go against the tv/movie business and manage to wring a decent offering from them

instead of having 500 channels with 3 things you want to watch for $140 a month you'll have 10 different streaming services with exclusive content for $15 a month each

yep. i heard The New Apple TV was supposed to debut a year prior with some new cheap tv subscription model but rumor has it the deal just couldn't be made and they delayed and nerfed the atv 4.

The lady at the barber shop today was super hyped about Defenders. I'm watching and enjoying it, but kind of sad it's almost over already. Only 8 episodes.

Yuuuuuup. And despite all these providers popping up there's still shitloads of content that no one has for some reason. And jack poo poo for movies.

so, piracy it is!

I don't pirate things anymore, because I'm not poor and people deserve to be paid for their work.

However, I also don't sit around watching tv all day so there's only one or two streaming services I worry about each year, and I cancel them once I'm done with them. For movies there's usually only a couple a year I care about and iTunes is fine for that.

If I was poor and a tv vegetable I would definitely still pirate things

I pirate everything that isn't available through an affordable and extremely convenient official channel. steam got me to go legit for pc games because it meant no more discs and loving around with cracks if I ever lost em. when netflix came out where I lived I jumped on it because I was sick of having to make space and go to the trouble of finding decent quality torrents. now that netflix is being slowly crippled I'm doing a lot more torrenting these days and frankly it bums me out

best case scenario in a few years all these new streaming services will fold and all their respective content returns to netflix lol it's not gonna happen

comcast's on demand will actually be a kind of meta service. if something isn't on the channel's on demand but is on Netflix it'll launch Netflix

too bad that involves Comcast though

if you liked jessica jones this would be the correct opinion.

luke cage was fine i guess, weaker 2nd half, though i'd argue none of the series have been able to stick their 2nd halves yet.

EDIT: to be relevant to apple, something something holding jessica jones wrong

Jessica Jones uses a Samsung, thus denoting her lower intelligence, while
the rich guy who is the prize the villains
are after appears to use an iPhone

also the blind man uses a phone that speaks the screen but I can't tell
if it's an iPhone or something else

I'm willing to pay for content. make it loving available and I will. I don't want to have to subscribe to 4 streaming services plus cable and I don't want to have to figure out what loving schedule it appears and disappears from some service. just take my money, assholes.

TV shiow and movie production companies saw what the iTunes Store and streaming services did to music and they're going to fight like hell to keep it from happening again.
