Tell you what, I don't really care either way. I currently have three separate streaming services. Netflix, Disney and Amazon. Including a patreon monthly subscription and one only fans I really like for a total of five.

However I want to watch The Big Bang Theory. I'm just not willing to subscribe to yet another unaffiliated streaming service for one TV show!

Just for the sake of organization and convenience I travel the high seas for the show I want to watch!

It's not that I don't necessarily want to pay or I want to steal the intellectual property it's just that there's no significant incentive for me to watch the Big bang theory outside of the way that I'm currently going to acquire it.

You deserve to be in jail.

Not because of the copyright infringement or whatever, just your choice in what to watch.

What's wrong with BBT?

The laugh track, the stereotypes, the lack of humour...

[–] MisterD@lemmy.ca 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

But without the laugh track, how would I know the show is supposed to be funny?
