Theoretically, having multiple streaming platforms should be good, as it prevents a monopoly. Problem is, they all have monopolies, on specific shows. Choosing the streaming services you want isn’t about choosing the better product, but on which shows you have. All streaming shows should have all shows available. That’s the only way to properly decide which service is worth paying for
And pretty much none of the services are the better product.
But then they’d have to compete on features and usability, and no company wants that. They prefer to set up roadblocks and extract tolls.
Imagine selling a service by virtue of the quality of your service. Ridiculous
can’t get rich by doin stupid shit like that lol
isn’t about choosing the better product, but on which shows you have.
But you can argue that part of what makes a streaming service a good product, is the literal product they produce, their content.
So then they’re a publisher not a streaming service.
They’re a publisher whose content is hosted on their own streaming service. It’s classic vertical integration.
I think the current model is better actually, because then the streaming services have to compete with each other on content, user experience, and price.
This way, you only need to subscribe to the streaming services that have the shows you’re currently watching, and can cancel whenever you’re done with those shows, until the next one comes along.
If a streaming service bundles multiple studios shows together, then you’re paying for a ton of content you may not even care about, just like how cable is.
At the end of the day, unless someone is watching hours and hours of tv a day, it’s unlikely they need to simultaneously subscribe to 7 streaming services.
A streaming service’s product is the service of streaming stuff to you. It’s not a studio. Studios make those products. The streaming services give you a platform to watch them. Their product is their website
Woah there! Having the privilege to choose a streaming service that has a show you want. Those are some bold assumptions. We over here at anime land have former illegal streaming services with exclusive global licenses, even though they only operate nationally. Pirates overseas can’t watch their favorite anime of the season legally. They must either use a VPN to pay for a service that’ll ban them for VPN usage, or pirate the anime.
Its just cable with more steps.
This sounds like they have to compete for your money and produce better shows, which is good for consumers. You can subscribe to service X, watch the show you’re interested in, and unsubscribe. Netflix releases all episodes at once, with other platforms you can simply wait till the show ends before subscribing.
I don’t argue that you should do exactly that instead of pirating. But I don’t see why somebody should be subscribed to all these services.
Well my point is they wouldn’t be subscribed to all the services. They’d pick one. You wanna watch “Show A”. None of these platforms are allowed to have exclusivity rights to it. So do you choose Netflix? Hulu? Amazon? It’s up to you, since you don’t have to choose only the one that has it. Now your decision to give money to Netflix, for example, is based on the fact that the service they’re providing–UI, ease of access, streaming speed–instead of them being the only ones who have “Show A”
You could implement this for some shows and movies, but there’s one big problem. Disney shouldn’t have exclusivity rights to their own IPs? Netflix should have to give everyone else the shows they pay for and produce?
I get where you’re coming from in theory, but in practice it doesn’t make sense. It would be like saying Nintendo must release their games on xbox and playstation.
I remember having some reservations and skepticism regarding the ongoing good faith of Netflix when it was the new hotness.
I was called, you may have guessed, a Luddite, and told that "it would be bad business" if Netflix fucked people over and that it’d be silly to hold on to physical copies of entertainment media.
Now I’m basically this face to the same people
Maybe I’m just getting too old, but what is the logo on the top right in the third panel?
Like the other replies said, it’s Viaplay. I don’t know about other countries but it’s fairly common here in Sweden.
Hey this is only the 900.000. time I see this, this year. Maybe post it more often so we can come to 1.000.000 !
Netflix is literally 6x more expensive while having like 6x less content too. and the content they do produce is garbage.
they actually do produce some good content it’s just rare sadly and it’s getting more rare
What do you mean, they have lots of good shows that get cancelled after one season with the story on a cliff hanger
It’s a shame that this instance is just full of child sex crime and the people who defend them.
WTF are you talking about? db0 runs the fediseer project which helps other instances actively block such content.
I can post case numbers: If you have any information about the ongoing investigations please contact Toronto PD
User @Stanley_Pain purveys simulated child porn and claims to be a Ukraine soldier, soliciting and extorting donations for his pornography production
I’m not allowed to upload the images, but although he’s deleted it all, his stolen valor is still being investigated by Ukraine and stolenvalour.ca
All users on this sub have had complaints filled in US, UK and Canada.
I urge you to enjoy your CP while it lasts. This is one of a few dozen accounts monitoring your pornography community until @Stanley_Pain apologizes to the Ukraine sub for messaging then from mastodon named NickR (nigger, because he found out I was American)
If you are reading this and then you do NOTHING, you are guilty of criminal neglect and are suspected of aiding and abetting child porn.
DM for more proof. Your mods won’t let you see this because they fuck kids.
In fact I am an admin, and I already messaged you on Sunday to ask for evidence to back up this report and you didn’t provide any. If you could provide even a single link to CSAM posted on one of our communities, I would be happy to investigate further. But if you keep making these serious claims backed up with zero evidence then I’m just going to have to assume you are trolling. Also FYI our instance has automatic scanning and blocking of image uploads for CSAM.
You also need to look at the prompts and metadata for the simulated CP as it includes incriminating language and software. He mixes and matches the features of actual minors. Please please please do something about that and the fact he lies and victimizes people.
Who are you people to defend stolen valor? I’m leaving this to law enforcement. Good luck
Just dump your crim, or catch fleas. Good luck
He used his modtools to prevent me, I have proof, please provide an non lemmy.dbzer0.com link to send and CC to law enforcement please
Everytime I try my socials get deleted, ALL my socials
@Db0 helped him wipe
I’m going to leave this thread here for transparency, but for anyone reading this, I’m banning this user for trolling. I’ve asked twice for any evidence and they won’t provide any.
Edit: Also note that this user’s original account @Inmate@lemmy.world has been banned from lemmy.world, so make of that what you will.
Reverse search the girls faces 😥
Not to mention lemmy-safety :D
I’m confused. You mean the lemmy.dbzer0.com instance?
Another main reason why I took off my hat back then was because I was a broke college kid with garbage internet speed and my only computer was a laptop. Torrenting shows sometimes means I need to have my laptop on for days. Now I have an entire homelab setup with a dedicated VM on one of my servers for torrenting and I can afford fast internet. I was pleasantly surprised how efficiently I can torrent when I got back sailing recently.
There used to be a time when you could watch Hulu without a subscription. Times change. Some other times loop.
It seems like the same issue as cable. It’s not a la carte like we were promised, we get bundles of shows. So my pet peeve is I’d have to subsidize fox news if I want a news package. Not happening. I don’t watch 90% of these package deals. It’s almost $90 a month for Hulu live, and it keeps going up.
