The slow march back to cable is unstoppable.
Pirate everything. Share everything.
Piracy is an access problem, not a consumer problem.
dismantle capitalism. I bet in like 24 years some disruptor is going to come along and buy up rights to the shit thats on peacock Hulu etc now and offer 9 bucks a month to stream it to you. rinse repeat. fuck this corpo nightmare.
Not going to happen with Disney. They are lobbying to increase it even more than 100 years.
thats a sensible solution actually. doubtful that the studios would ever go along with it, given how reluctant the studios are to pay writers a fair share.
It turns out cable wasn't some unique product or way of doing things, it's just the natural form media delivery takes under capitalism. Streaming services are convergently evolving to take that shape too.
I mean that's not even a little correct.
Streaming allows you to watch videos on demand, and allows you to choose from a littany of providers, where you were previously limited to whoever laid cable in your neighborhood.
