Obviously things need to be paid for, but I also think we should not pay until they offer a better model for the consumer.

I'm happy to pay even a relatively hefty monthly fee, but only if I can see all of the shows I want to -- including new episodes.

It would be pretty simple. Instead of getting Netflix or Amazon or whatever, there would be a point system. I get 20 points to spend a month and then different content is worth different points. Game of Thrones is worth 4 points, but an old unpopular show like Cheers is worth 1. That way I'm not paying for content I've already seen and I don't have to get 4 different TV services which have lots of crossover in their content.

Hulu. They have an ad free option too. And movies. Including most of the criterion collection.
>>
>>69722547
Just as long as you NEVER complain about the quality or the target market of any media ever, feel free.

But the minute you bitch about a shitty show, or movie, when you refuse to fucking pay for good movies of shows, you can go fuck yourself for being a hypocritical piece of shit that wont support what you like.

Hulu is partially owned by both Fox and Disney, and has content deals with Showtime, The BBC, ABC, The CW and NBC....so you can pretty much watch everything except CBS shows on Hulu. CBS decided to do their own thing and charge like 10 bucks a month to watch just their old people shows.

But you can pretty much watch any new show on any of the major over the air networks in their current season on Hulu. Most only stay on for a limited time though, you cant watch old seasons of a lot of the shows. Just the current season.

I torrent a lot. I have gigabit home connection. Huge fucking NAS. Autosnatch pretty everything that may be interesting. Delete later in bulk or off Plex. No effort. Required to maintain "ratio" or hell even getting into BTN and PTP. Have HDB but auto snatching from PTP is easier. All this just werks.

Also pay for HBO Netflix Amazon prime and premium cable. because I'm relatively rich and young enough to still bother downloading shit. Coming how to every show commercial free ready to go is awesome. I'm sure it will lose its novelty though.

Netflix and clhill just werks. Plex is a turn off unless you're planning to date her. in my experience.

I torrent everything because I'm a poorfag, but I totally agree.

I'm over the moon that money doesn't limit what I can watch, I've got nothing to complain about.

If people want to waste money, let them, the vast majority of businesses are based on people spending/wasting money on things they do not need or even want past the point they 'consumed' it.

I feel like i'm very lucky to not fall for the 'scam' of being unsatisfied (it is luck, it is not 'i am smarter than the average goy') It saves me a lot of time and money.

I live better than 99% of humans in history. I live better and have access to information and education beyond the dreams of most of the kings that ever lived.

I just do not enjoy wasting money on junk but i'm glad there are some people who do.

Cause I can directly influence the market and the shows being made doing so.

Not that guy, and I do agree with you- kind of. But out of curiosity and not racial bigotry I'd like to know why you think it is that our media is embrassed and consumed by every country in the world, and yet not only do we not enjoy the movies and shows from other countries (the majority of us, I'm not talking about the minority of people that love foreign films) but people from other countries don't like them either. e.g. Germans watch German movies and American movies, the French watch French movies and American movies- but the Germans don't watch French movies and the French don't watch German movies.

Why is that? Everybody seems to like their own media and our media, and very little else. What are we doing so differently that's giving us such a universal appeal?

If i like a film ill watch over and over again, ill buy it on DVD, if it brand new and im unsure if ill like it or not, i stream it. Im not saying the NEETS here have it right but your seriously stupid if you pay for subscriptions. You can just torrent or stream things that have just come out, usually in great quality.

Who the hell do you think you are? Who the hell do you think you are? You any kind of artist? Anybody know who you are? This is one of the most important places in all of North America. Who are you? Who are you! You miserable presumptuous no-talent. You're no artist. An artist respects the silence that serves the foundation of creativity. You obviously don't have the talent. You don't have enough respect for yourself or other people or what it is to express yourself. And music really is a form of creativity. And I'm an NYU film school graduate, sucka, in the School of Visual Arts, and The Academy of Art University in San Francisco. You suck, you're a no-talent. If you really had talent, go practice and to get yourself a gig instead of ruining the end of the day for everybody down here. You're a disgrace. You're everything that has gone wrong in this world. You're a self-consumed, no-talent, mediocre piece of shit. And I've earned my right to say it, ok? In 1975, I walked Bob Dylan up on stage. I knew the Grateful Dead since 1966. Who the fuck are you? You nothing! You nothing. You are nothing. You will never be anything, never. How dare you. How dare you. You miserable, mediocre nothing. Shame on you. I'm trained classically, I'm trained contemporaneously, and you suck.
