Why aren't streaming media contracts negotiated like 'you will provide us the 4K copies of the entire series; we will stream it forever and you will get X% of the profit..margin...etc in perpetuity' (lemmy.world)

rather than this stupid fucking snip snap game where, instead of, as a user being able to buy into a company that's building a massive, marvelous, library-of-alexandria-core archive of every good show ever made, you're paying into some shitty ephemeral bullshit made by stupid greedy dickheads who have no fucking sense

It all stems from corporate greed Loan out the cash cow until you can learn how to make your own cheese. I genuinely thought Disney+, peacock, and paramount streaming would fail but the problem is also people willing to pay for their fragmented service. Even HBOmax, which I genuinely liked, becamejust MAX because they started loaning out their OWN IPs for money. So dumb.

At least we got to enjoy the early Netflix era around 2010 before it all became crap.

Buy up used DVDs and Blurays and set up a Jellyfin instance at home. Instantly transported back to 2010 era Netflix.
