#fuck streaming

THIS IS TELEVISION, NOW.

SHORT, SPREAD OUT SEASONS. IF EVEN MULTIPLE.

EXPENSIVE-ASS EPISODES.

PURGED FROM EXISTENCE.

netflix cancelled dead boy detectives?

[learningfromlosing]

remember when streaming was a way to get away from commercials?

[wastehound-voof]

NBC is really pushing everyone to get Peacock for the Dolphin-Chiefs game. QR codes everywhere, saying "Taylor Swift will be there!" "It's the first time ever an NFL game will stream EXCLUSIVELY on a streaming service! WITNESS HISTORY!" Yes, they are saying "witness history."

I won't be doing that. Ever. I don't care that it's $6 a month and I can just cancel right after the game is done.

Dude I'm just a CD girl in a streaming world :(

Important reminder to start pirating your favorite songs because you never know when streaming services will remove that one banger you refuse to stop hearing 24 times a week

i cannot express how mad i am at the utter disrespect the industry gives to animation

[cannabisexual]

omg babe, building up a physical media collection to preserve decades of history, culture, and art is so sexy of you, i hope you keep it up forever and are never beholden to the whims of greedy corporations ceaselessly attempting to privatize and control everything we enjoy and hold dear

tbh having ryonai bring blam honey back with kiwamu's help in the early 2010's was unexepected but its one of the only reason we got hd version of some songs.

or some songs at all... do you know how difficult it was to find ANY blam honey in the early 2000 ? i had scoured the internet and all i could find was like 3 songs.

Thing is if you had a bit of money, the albums/singles/tapes were regularly-ish available on japanese auction sites, but i didnt have money and, idk about now but, japanese fans were not prone to share mp3s, at the time. so you had to cross your fingers that either someone french or argentinian had uploaded it. (or actually you had to ask the frenchs cause they were dicks about how "hard this was to find and whats in it for me" and the argentinians probably had a blog and was happy to share everything as long as you gave them credit)

im glad that blam honey songs are easier to find, now. thats true for many other bands too. there was a thrill to find rare stuff at the time, sure. but its a better thing that its all more accessible, now, i think. are there still people hogging access to some old demo tapes cause they "had to work for it" ? Sure. but i find they are far less common than 12-15 years ago.

there is no point in hoarding weird japanese music from the 90's without sharing it anymore. i glad people seemed to finally understand that theres no point in being the only person listening to a song. songs are meant to be shared !

another show i loved got canceled! woohoo!

WHY DO I NEED TO PAY FOR A MOVIE WHEN I ALREADY PAY FOR PRIME??????????

[badolmen]

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

Edit: if you are able, use $5 you would otherwise use for a streaming subscription to donate to a GazaFunds campaign.

All eyes on Rafah‼️‼️‼️

Go to the top tag and interact with it and make it go absolutely fucking viral.

And to anyone who is still complicit, get your head out of your ass.

Well done, I’m proud of them and quite impressed 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

(I will be removing/blocking useless comments, I do not need that in my comment section ty very much. Edit: However I will let the the idiocy speak for itself)

- sound of metal

- cabaret

- anatomy of a fall

- pride & prejudice (2005)
