      Yeah, but it’s not a new war. It’s an eternal war, and when those on top push too much, we push back. We call those stages revolutions, and maybe it’s time to remind those on top that when a revolution happens, their heads get separated from their bodies. So either give us back some freedoms, or blood will be spilt. And it won’t be our blood.

    Oh, wow, at least in Black Mirror they only made sure your eyes were open, you didn’t need to pay attention.

    Aaarrr matey, this for sure wouldn’t be the reason why we pirate, would it?

    Fuck all of this, I’m so sick and tired of technology advances leading to just more shit for money. I worked for only 9 months in a corporate environment that did shit like this and it nauseated me. Got fired for throwing the CTO under a freight train (figuratively) and never been happier for being fired.

    I’d love to become rich, so I can keep on pirating as a statement. Or to show a rich guy how much better pirating is as a service.

    Maybe then we can get their attention and prove that enshittification is the problem, and not the cost.

      Nope, you pay either way. I think it’s $10/mo for the ad supported tier, and $20/mo fke the ad free tier.

      You pay to see ads.

          Funny enough, Hulu has been doing a paid+ads tier from the get-go, long before other services started jumping on this bandwagon.

          Never made sense to me why anyone would want it then, and it still doesn’t make sense even now that all the services are offering similar plans. People pining for that cable TV experience maybe?
