Sail the fucking seas bruv.
And then you're going to whine and cry when they cancel your favourite shows?
Couldn’t care less. I’ll find other shit to do.
Well, you are here, participating in a discussion about Max subscriptions. It does seem like you do care.
It’s just tv, man. I’ll cope.
Seemingly not.
There's already too much shit to watch in one lifetime, and Hollywood has been rehashing the same stories every summer for atleast two decades. I think we'll be alright bud.
What on Earth are you on about? Commenting on a thread in a non-TV related community means they're hopelessly addicted to TV?
I don't know about you dude, but I frequently comment on shit I don't actually give a shit about. Often while taking a shit. Like right now, in fact. When did the bar for "caring" drop so far that one deciding to comment in this thread rather than read the back of the shampoo bottle constitutes "caring"?
Dude, they cancel shows whether you pay or not. Have you not seen what they do at Netflix?
Here's a video of a board meeting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQTUCOx7TwI
Also spending money on a service doesn't mean it'll make quality shows. Here's a video where Netflix frivolously spends subscribers money on things that no one cares about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXfTa7DCm5M
No. Haha. You’ll be there to do that.
If enough people do that for cancellations to happen, it will send a message that shrinkflation is not a viable business model.
Our favorite shows are aided by a robust piracy community, which fuels Deviantart and Rule 34 (and people who who buy Danerys Targaryen Toaster ovens).
The shows that get cancelled are the ones with insufficient appeal to the mainstream (and Hollywood elites who think they know what Americans want), such as all the shows that had lesbian appeal were cancelled.
The other fate of a show is a season 7-8 of shark jumping moments, worsening in context the prior seasons. Like making Danerys Targaryen go mad at the perfectly wrong time in the finalé so the story doesn't end with a queen in power.
They would cancel them anyway.
