I feel like other streaming platforms will follow the same process as they've proven it's worked.

I don’t pay for Netflix and think their content mostly sucks but thinking “I deserve this service for free” is a childish perspective. Go ahead and pirate it, I couldn’t care less, but don’t act like it gives you the moral high ground lol

With this whole "you pay for a screen package, love is sharing a password" business they just dug a PR hole for themselves. If they'd had offered price X per screen from the start, then introduced a "same household discount" or whatever, we wouldn't have all this outrage. But execs can only see as far as next quarter and here we are.

Nobody said free. Nothing is free. We all pay a service. If you want ads go ahead. Don't bring the rest of us down with you.

Indicated of shill and bootlicker syndrome.
