Unironically, yes. Everything we had 20 years ago, but worse.

Where the fuck is this all heading? There isn’t any new medium to deliver media to people that will revolutionize content delivery. It’s already delivered directly to the device its viewed on. Back to $20 per individual movie like DVDs were before streaming took off? Except 10 more steps away from actual ownership of what you buy?

Worse for us. Better for the corporations.

Greeding corporations saw something was popular and profitable 10 years ago and are now doing everything they can to take a slice of the pie and get their fingers it. With more hands in the pan, there is less pie to go around, so they squeezing every last dollar they can out while lying to consumers about why. The income on these ventures is so laughably high and many production costs of the few original programming offered so low that they could cover everything on 5 dollars a month if not less. But if they did that they couldn’t give their executives million dollar bonuses, which is the only reason they are in the business.

DVDs but they can also come to your house and snap the disc in half without offering a refund. Now that’s customer service.

I just started using the public library apps this week. Piracy has gotten too difficult for me recently.
