I’d assume a sponsored post on a Lemmy community would just be a pinned post that a mod got money for
OH! Got it! Thank you! I was legitimately just like “is this new lingo I don’t know”
Filly? What does that mean in this context?
And remember kids. Buy your pixel second hand
That and Disney decided they wanted to break (sorry. Let me use the business terms. “Disrupt”) the market by having a vertical integration of streaming platform and production company. The thing is, it did great for the in the short term, but may have harmed them long term. Meanwhile everyone else is now chasing the model that may actually be losing Disney money because short term greed is the only driver in our economy
Okay but that’s ALSO what Peacock is. Look at peacock’s catalog and Netflix catalog and tell me its better rather than just different
Let me take this opportunity to get on my soapbox to sat this:
NBC / Universal were one of the first movers in streaming with Seeso. Did they learn lessons from Seeso about how to run a good streaming service? No they abandoned it almost immediately basically saying “this whole streaming thing is just a fad, anyway”
The results? Now its hard to watch those old (genuinely excellent) Seeso shows, and NBC / Universal has managed to make itself late to the streaming party when they were a first actor. And the service itself? Ass. Total cheeks. Major butt. Absolute balloon knot. It always has technical issues AND scanning within an episode is hard because it doesn’t do it in chunks, it acts like a slider in constant motion.
Conclusion: don’t look at Peacock as the idiot child of the streaming landscape. View it as the logical conclusion to media companies’ corporate greed. They want you to pay money for a service that sucks, that’s chock full of ads (oh! That’s another thing. Where do you get off showing me three minutes of ads, Peacock, who do you think you are?), and doesn’t even work decently right while a lot of these UX problems have been solved for over two decades (DVD scanning is easy and fine).
That’s new and well warranted from when I joined
wobbles hands capitalism!
Legitimately! Early Metallica was all about liberatory politics. Then it turned into center-right american politics. The kinds of dudes who really have hard-ons for how great the status quo is.
