Streaming has doomed us all to mediocre entertainment and I for one will complain loudly about it while continuing to pay for six different streaming services that I watch one thing on each and going to a feature length film in a theater no more than once a year

As god intended

Pretty sure it’s just a way to make you pay and tip in advance of service

I haven’t seen anywhere that forces you to use them except at airports but I’m sure there are places that do like that one lovely Amazon trial convenience store in Seattle a few years ago that was cc only

Honestly thinking back to my younger brother and his friends who would spend hours watching me play video games and go complain to my parents if I stopped I think the popularity of video game streaming should have been obvious

Not gonna stop me from rolling my eyes at people who like to watch them though

sick to death of all of these useless gadgets. hey heres a $300 watch that looks like poo poo and needs to be plugged in and by memorizing a series of swipe commands that work 80% of the time you can see the first nine letters of a text message you got. gently caress off

I hate having to recharge poo poo. phone, speakers, headphones, ear buds, nintendos, laptops. each one with a different loving charge port.

Either give it a loving plug or have it use AA batteries I can chuck in the garbage.
