    Then floodgates of piracy opened as a means of being with exorbitant prices on music, and then television.

    The solution for the industry was to make it more convenient to pay them than it was to steal. Stealing never stopped, it just lessened, because it was more convenient to pay.

    Critical mistake, making it difficult for us to get what we want…

      The fact that there are 11 quadrillion streaming services now makes me suspect that there actually cannot be a secret cabal of shady business types running the world. Because they are all far too interested in competing with each other to actually notice that if they stop doing that then they’d be better off.

    All it took for me to take up sailing full time was the removal of King of the Hill from Netflix. I couldn’t find it anywhere at first, so I did the next logical step. I later found out that it was available on Hulu. Asinine. I feel like Hank would have done the same thing, for the principle of it alone.

    Plex is so much better than Netflix, or really any other streaming service, in my opinion. I have all of the content that I want, and supplement the rest with my favorite YouTubers.

        I went in blind, not knowing anything about One Piece other than it is a long running anime. Easily my favorite show I’ve watched in 2023 so far.
