Like clockwork I continue to not be subscribed to peacock, or any other streaming, for this very reason.
Pay X amount per month, for a selection of content you don’t control, have no ownership of, cannot retain a copy of (longterm), and whose price is subject to change at any time.
Ooooorrrrrrr…I could buy physical media, and rip my own permanent copy, which never expires, andwhose cost is a one time purchase.
Why the fuck is physical media dying??? Oh, right. I live in the same country that willingly voted for trump, and are now shocked to learn he’s a shitty person.
In other words, I’m surrounded by morons.
Ngl buying movies and TV shows is way worse than paying to stream them. If you buy them you’re left with a library of movies and shows youve already seen.
The key words here being “left with a library”. Your media, now and forever, at no additional cost, available whenever you want. I could not go back to netflix etc.
And yet the cost of BitTorrent and the *arr suite has stayed the same.
In no way is Peacock worth $17/month.
Remember the good ol days where Netflix had everything you could watch for a cheap subscription price.
I didn’t pirate for years when Netflix was the bomb. Then it all started going to poop but I kept the subscription running while I sailed the seven seas with the thought that it was just a little bit of a reduced library, it’s still good. It’s just a heap of shows cancelled after one season and even more content missing, it’s still good. But after a few years I had to accept that like a pig soaring over a dam, it was gone. So now no one gets my money.
Except my ISP, private indexers, a VPN company, and various hard drive manufacturers I guess.
Arrrr mateys, see ye on the high seas…
Can’t wait to keep not paying for Peacock
And like clockwork, I am continuing to not subscribe.
