  I saw somewhere someone explaining that the massive cash flow from the “old” way of paying for content, namely high cable TV costs people used to have to pay for their 3 channels they actually watched - in addition to all the commercials the pay-tv people also had to watch, was a steady and reliable stream of cash that made its way to the content producers.

  But since the big bundle pay-tv model is dead there is a huge drop in cash flow to content producers and this is making a massive change in normal operations inevitable.

  That may be what’s happening now.

  I don’t think the studios have any money.

  The US government has near zero credibility. I dgaf what they say wrt aliens.

  It may just be a distraction but could be a psyop by the cia for some convoluted reason.

  They do seem to be earnestly playing the alien card right now and aren’t letting it up.

  That tells me that there will be escalation on this with some end goal in mind. And it will likely be another pain in the ass like their last one.

  If reddit doesn’t have to then why would an ISP?

  This is precedent setting.
