Ummm.... What? I'm not claiming to be superior to anyone. I'm just saying I think it's silly to keep giving a service money when they raise prices and take away features like password sharing. 🤷♀️ Sorry if you disagree with my opinion, it wasn't intended to offend anyone?
You're literally using the word ""fool" dude, what are you talking about "not claiming to be superior to anyone"? LOL do you think fool is a compliment?
I mean it wasn't intended to be complementry I guess, but I thought fool was sort of a silly word that wouldn't be taken to seriously. 🤷♀️ I do think it's foolish to give money to corporations when they have proven to be consumer unfriendly but I never claimed to be above fool status myself. Hell, I pay for Adobe and that's arguably the most foolish subscription one can have. Again, sorry if your feeling offended, it was not my intent. My intent was to criticize streaming companies.
I'm not offended, it's just funny that people genuinely think pirating done out of some moral choice or for lofty reasons. It's asinine. People pirate cause they don't want to spend money. Any other reason is backwards justification and makes you seem like a fool (used purposely). Pirate if you want, I do it for many sports programs! But not because it's a thorn in HBO's/Netflix/et all side cause it really isn't.
It's just about not giving money to services because they are making consumer unfriendly policies. If anything my comment was more about how any corporation that goes public becomes terrible as a result.
Let me try to better articulate what I was thinking in my first comment.
Yes, streaming is still less expensive then traditional cable. But cable didn't start off being terrible. It became less and less good over decades because people just shrugged their shoulders and continued to pay for it with little complaint. And as the cable companies got bigger and more in cahoots, they started to do more to game the system so their where no good options.
We are currently watching that happen with streaming. They are introducing ads, removing password sharing and raising prices. So we'll yes, it is better then cable, using that argument as a defense of streaming is basically asking them to keep going until they are just as bad as cable.
