    Too many subscriptions out there.

    They basically became cable TV packages from the 90s.

    Now I just sail the 7 seas. Fuck these corpos.

      Well you don’t get locked into a streamer like you did cable.

        Right, doesn’t mean it’s good. It’s not. Streaming services used to be awesome now everyone has their own app and just raises prices while canceling everything.

        But hey w.e doesn’t effect me. Stremio for the win.

    When you look at their catalog, it definitely looks like the executives get to submit the ideas for what shows they make.

    One c-level loves band of brothers, so they make masters of the air. Another read the Dust trilogy so we got the Silo show.

      I mean, I like the results. If that’s what they’re doing I guess I’m okay with it 🤷‍♂️

    Doesn’t count synergy bonuses. How many more devices do they sell, how many more users do they retain in the ecosystem, from pushing Apple TV?

    Especially since, frankly, it’s very good. I much prefer their “quality over quantity” approach and the stuff they are willing to fund.

      I dunno, their take on Foundation is most attractive for me via thoughts of what could have been done with the same effort and funding and format, except being closer to the source and without glossiness and dizziness.

        Yeah I mean I am praising Apple TV here.

        Severance, For All Mankind, Silo, they’ve been making lots of sci-fi worth watching. Morning Show was good too.
