    Good to note that this isn’t even hypothetical, it literally happened with cable. First it was ad-funded, then you paid to get rid of ads, then you paid exorbitant prices to get fed ads, and the final evolution was being required to pay $100+ for bundles including channels you’d never use to get at the one you would. It’s already happening to streaming services too, which have started to bundle.

      I don’t understand why more people just can see this? To me it’s connect the dots. Paint by numbers.

      Big business is your enemy. I don’t know why folks still have faith in such a fucked up system that’s got a proven track record of being shit.
