  There’s way more money to be made through cablefication.

  I mean. Supposedly.

  But then again, cable is dead for a reason.

    Yes, and the reason cable is dead is specifically because streaming offered a more affordable, convenient, and ad-free option. Now that it’s pretty much the only legal game in town the cablefication is well underway. You think the c-suite types give a single fuck about the long-term viability of their services? lol no. They’re here for short term profits. And when the house of cards topples there’s gonna be a golden parachute waiting for them.

      This is the madness. It really speaks to the emptiness that underlies whatever we call the philosophy that results in this kind of decision making. Modern MBA cult? Neo-liberalism?

      Christ, stop buying businesses just to break them people.

        Neo-liberalism?

        The internet decreed like a decade ago that “Anything You Don’t Like Is Neoliberalism,” so why not?

        Why don’t people bother to fight back though.

  Not my money. Piracy is easier at this point anyway. Or God forbid I get a hobby or go outside.

  I’d seriously rather watch paint dry than watch commercials.
