A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

Dropout.tv
The only streaming service I won’t pirate.
I've been considering it, Game Changer is pretty good
They have a few days trial, and encourage account sharing. So you could give it a crack and split it with a friend. Quite a few shows and podcasts they do are worth the price.
Besides, they pay the talent far better than anyone else in Los Angeles, if that kind of thing is important for you.
Plus, when they raised their subscription price to pay for more shows, anyone who was already a member kept their original subscription price. They even gave folks a month or so to sign up and lock in the lower price. A lot of people love the channel so much they wanted to pay the higher price. It’s my favorite streaming service.
Oh, and about paying the talent: last year they did a profit share and anyone who earned money from Dropout got a cut. They pay people to come to auditions, so even those people got some of the profit sharing.
Dropout is the gold standard of streaming services.
