#the death of peace of mine

This is sad but unfortunately I think this is just going to be the norm for the next few years as streaming services die a slow death.

HBO Max should in theory be able to make money from a show that was at one point the top new series in the US. At the time, David Jenkins said "This is what happens when a major media company invests in inclusive mainstream stories" (agree!) but unfortunately that major media company, like all streaming services, has a terrible business model that can't support that investment.

This is an interesting article about how streaming services are losing money and scrambling to make it back by trying to convince people to buy cheaper, ad-supported options or bundling with other streaming services. Unfortunately for them, I think that's like... all of the options? At some point they're just going to continue to lose money. Making shows is expensive and very few consumers are willing to pay more when they could just cancel and use a cheaper service (or, you know. 🏴‍☠️)

This is also a good article that was written after Shadow and Bone was cancelled by Netflix about whether it could be saved:

"The problem is that while saving shows used to be plausible, at times, the cost of Shadow and Bone combined with the fact that streaming services are really, really starting to cut back on spending means that this would be an extremely tough sell. WB Discovery’s Max is being lambasted for killing finished projects for tax breaks to chip into its massive debt. Disney Plus has done the same thing and has said they will cut back on things like expensive Marvel shows. Amazon Prime is mired in expensive creator deals going nowhere and throwing insane amounts of money at projects they are realizing are not panning out. Paramount Plus losing $500 million a year. NBC’s Peacock is losing $650 million a quarter."

TLDR; Streaming services have reached such a dire point financially that they have to cancel some of their most popular content (Marvel shows on Disney+???? These have seemingly been very successful; it's wild to read that they're "cutting back") in the desperate hope that a new season of something that's cheaper to make will get more attention.

What I gathered from these articles is that steaming services are dying a slow death and sadly, a lot of good shows are going to go with them.

I just realized that if Aaravos chose to die with Leola, they probably would've been like how Ray and Evangeline became connected stars, if my theory of Leola's remains being the South Star is correct.... 😧

As much as I wish there was a way to get through to people who voted for a Nazi, the disgusting truth is, they likely hold the very same beliefs, and hatred. That, or they believe that cowering in front of the rich will spare them in the end. It won’t. They don’t give a shit about you.

I don’t wish betterment for anyone who directly, and knowingly, voted for this. I only wish you misfortune. I hope terrible things happen to you in your lifetime. If one day you realize what a horrible mistake you made, I want it to eat you alive. I hope you die with your guilt.

I’m not the better person. You deserve anything, and everything awful that comes your way.

I’m so sad to hear about Donald Sutherland. I know he was getting old and to the age we should be expecting it at some point, but I didn’t expect that to be the news first thing when I woke up and it’s jarring. I grew up watching him and I’ve always loved him as an actor. he’ll be so deeply missed. my thoughts are with his family.
