TaylorHeinicke 01/12/23 12:57:02 PM #5:	Smashingpmkns posted... so it begins begins? this shit been going for a while now inb4"It'sCableAllOverAgain" crowd so I'll get this in before they get here Streaming is still far from becoming as bad as cable. For starters, cable has been more or less an "all or nothing" service for years. Pay for these thousands of channels for the six you actually want to use, otherwise you get none of them. Additionally, no sane person is subscribed to every single streaming service. I can't name a person I know who even has SIX. Netflix, HBO, and Hulu are really the only three worth having with any sort of regularity. Do monthly cycles for other ancillary ones like Peacock, Paramount, or AppleTV. There's zero reason to have those latter three active month after month. All this to say, this allows you all sorts of flexibility that cable did not offer. Another streaming benefit is, you can pick and choose not only what you have access to, but what you want to watch. People seem to forget the days of flipping through cable and seeing literally nothing of value to watch. Streaming eliminates that. And finally, for ads -- you're paying to get rid of the ads. Let me ask, when's the last time you stayed at a hotel? Have you experienced the state of cable recently? It's unbearable. Sped-up programming for more ad time. Ads covering what little actual programming there is. Ads that are A THOUSAND DECIBELS LOUDER THAN THE PROGRAMMING forcing you to use the mute button every fucking commercial break (which is about every six minutes at this point). The direction of streaming is worrisome, sure. Can't deny that. But people comparing the state of today's streaming to the state of today's cable are absolutely false. I challenge each and every one of them to stay at a hotel and not use streaming on their own devices. Only using cable for entertainment. They'll all be singing a different tune when they get back home. no tldr --- St. Louis Battlehawks (1-1) <cite>TaylorHeinicke posted [p:970797375] in HBO Max in...

They are also selling the streaming rights for some of their shows to other platforms. You can watch True Blood on Hulu. Im sure well see other shows pop up on other platforms soon. They are cheapening their brand. <cite>Cuticrusader09 posted [p:970803394] in HBO Max in... [t:80309662]...</cite> <quote>MrWingnut posted... </cite><quote>Aren't they removing content too?

I've been hearing rumors it would be removed, but haven't heard anything from them yet.

Payzmaykr 01/12/23 6:14:44 PM #44:	CADE_FOSTER posted... they will all do it till they cost as much as cable And to think that streaming was supposed to be the answer to cutting the cable. We are about at the point where I wish they would do away with the streaming services and make cable prominent again because with them buying exclusivity rights to everything, you have to have five streaming services to see all the Christmas movies you like. I have access to Amazon prime because my parents have an account and they dont use the streaming (I just watch free stuff on it), but thats it. The streaming services crack down on password sharing and remove content, but the price going nowhere but up. Also, every main cable channel decided to launch a paid streaming service (aka a paywall to put their best content behind), during the pandemic and then got angry when there was customer blowback. Sorry, I lost my job so I dont have an EXTRA $10 per month to make sure I can see Mountain Monsters. <cite>Payzmaykr posted [p:970803751] in HBO Max in...

We are about at the point where I wish they would do away with the streaming services and make cable prominent again because with them buying exclusivity rights to everything, you have to have five streaming services to see all the Christmas movies you like. The problem with cable companies is that they have all sorts of bogus taxes&fees. Im not talking about sales tax, when I last has cable they had a $10 fee for local sports and you couldnt opt out. My mom who hardly watches TV was paying $200 monthly for a cable, internet & phone package. It was ridiculous. I got her on a cheap internet & phone package for $40, bought her a Roku, an antenna and a blu ray player. Introduced her to Pluto Tv and got her going to the library to borrow the walls full of Tv series they have. <cite>Cuticrusader09 posted [p:970803918] in HBO Max in...

archedsoul 01/12/23 6:23:36 PM #46:	I think the next thing is gonna be FAST, which is "free ad supported television". Pluto, Tubi, and Freevee so far. WB also wants to get in on it and is rumored why Westworld and others are being removed. There's potential, for a time being at least, before it's obviously destroyed like streaming was. At least for random or old entertainment. Like right now, you can watch ALL of Stargate, from SG1, to Atlantis to Universe on Pluto absolutely free with ads. It was on Netflix and Prime before that. --- "Fear cuts deeper than swords." <cite>archedsoul posted [p:970803935] in HBO Max in...
