Sail the high seas people, sail the high seas.
Better quality, less to zero costs and not dependent on streaming services.
Well, they have to have some customers or they'll go away. I'm still with them for now, but each rate increase has always brought up questions of cost to value. I'm not against what you're suggesting, but again... these services do have to make money to stay around. My problem is now there's like a dozen different streaming services with content spread across.
In the past I've downgraded my Netflix 'service' as they have raised the rates. Not sure there's much downgrading left before I'm either forced to live with the rate or leave.
Will cross that bridge when I get to it.
I'm okay with them going away. The existence of that one particular company is not a net benefit to society.
Ya, I'm not rooting for them to stay around either. But the point of my comment is, if you're 'taking' their content (which in this case I mean their self produced content) instead of paying for it and everyone does that, they won't stay around. A great loss? absolutely not, but a loss none less
