Fuck man. I'm just going to bed at this point. I'm gonna just go back to having everything on dvds and anything past that is dead to me. I'm so tired of this bullshit in every facet of my life - ThreadSky

What is even put on dvds these days? Some movies? Fewer and fewer dvd releases happen, especially for series. Fuck all this streaming only

mateohh.bsky.social•15 days ago

torrents still undefeated

But hey, people are sharing all of their lives and stories for free with chatgpt, pardon me - they are paying for it. I can’t believe the level of stupidity.

an observation that may help in these trying times:

most shows are just not that good these days and it's unlikely they will get any better - probably no better time than now to bow out and never look back

Legit crazy how they have to force feed it to us despite it being so great or whatever :(

Amazing how often people forget this. They get angry at what services do, or the prices of sporting or music events. The anger is understandable, but they seem to forget they can just quit the apps, cancel the subscriptions, attend different events. Drop the FOMO and make a market for alternatives.

No AI slop on the high seas!

am I reading it wrong, or doesn't this apply only to the ad-supported tier? which is expected to have ads anyway?

raynegrimm.bsky.social•15 days ago

And? There shouldn't be ai generated anything let alone ads

lanzz.org•15 days ago

if _anything_ is to be ai generated, then I'm fine if ads are that thing. they're universally despised anyway

raynegrimm.bsky.social•15 days ago

Currently the only limiting factor on how many ads we all get bombarded with is the fact they have to be made by people. Without that we are about to get absolutely bodied by more bullshit

they do this... we cancel

nuclearsimian.bsky.social•15 days ago

Just fucking cancel it now, what the fuck are you waiting for. Go back to piracy.

merlyngabriel.bsky.social•15 days ago

uhm nope. Piracy is not an option.

alamkara.bsky.social•15 days ago

why not? if piracy makes these clowns bankrupt, maybe the world will return to more sustainable ways to sell art, like on physical media or as digital files that you can actually own once purchased

merlyngabriel.bsky.social•15 days ago

because eventually lawyers get involved ( long story not getting into it) and it gets unpleasant. I'd rather just not bother watching the shows unless they come out on dvd or read a book or whatever... My protests in this and many other areas are to just walk away. So you do you. :)

nuclearsimian.bsky.social•15 days ago

If you don't like piracy, then you, like me, advocate that there needs to be a complete access to all media, all games, all books, for posterity and it needs to be easily available.

Nintendo doesn't give a fuck about that. So as a result, piracy is the only possible way to preserve their games.

Did I understand correctly that the Netflix advertising dept is contending people pay as much attention to their ads as to their content?

If their content is that bad aren't they telling investors and customers there's no actual value in having a Netflix subscription? What a wild thing to say.

My wife and I have been building our physical media collection over the past few years and it's been a really rewarding hobby!
