    I’m all for services making a reasonable profit and being able to fund new shows and such endeavors…

    But we’re rapidly getting into an environment of “soaking viewers for all we can get out of them” simply to feed the fucking shareholders ever larger payouts.

    Thank you Milton Friedman. 🖕

        No one wants to pay money for the services they’re using. Ads is the way to go.

          Nobody wants to pay for all the little individual piecemeal services and shit, because it’s wildly expensive and inconvenient, and because they keep adding ads to the paid stuff anyway because greed, so what benefit is there to paying?

                Netflix user base grows by tens of millions each year and their ad supported plan is the most favourite. And their growth is slowly turning into exponential.

    What the fuck is up with that image of Wednesday?! It doesn’t look like Ortega’s Wednesday to me. Is it ai generated?

      Looks like she’s got a bad toothache or a dislocated jaw.

        Yeah you’re right, it is her, it might be the camera angle or something or perhaps her bangs are slightly different than in the rest of the show. Something just felt off and I can’t put my finger on it.

    I’M HERE FOR IT. This is the future, and I’m genuinely invested in this (I’ve spoken to marketing industry people about how cool this could be).
