As Amazon becomes the latest platform to push an ad-supported tier, TV writers greet this retro model with frustration and, in some cases, disdain: “I thought 'Nine Perfect Strangers' with commercials was horrible,” says David E. Kelley of his Hulu show with breaks.
I think people are reading the part where you said “corporations need to make money” and are jumping to the conclusion that you’re defending the corporations.
I quit Netflix last summer, and turns out I don’t miss it at all. There are … other free sites of questionable legality for streaming, DVDs at the library, or even just like … feeding the geese at the park instead.
These corporations can sell all they want, but we can choose not to buy. Correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s what I think you’re saying.
People love to jump to conclusions on the internet. I state a fact of the reality we live in and apparently I’m a bootlicker. Til we have a radical economic revolution, yeah corp needs to make money.
And yes, I said vote with your wallet. If you don’t like what corp’s selling, don’t buy it. Buy something cheaper, buy their competitor. Or nothing.
Or yo-ho-ho :P
