🎶 We’re villains and black sheep, very bad eggs 🎶
They’re in for a rude awakening if they think they can leverage :: checks notes:: 🤣🤣House of the fucking Dragon🤣🤣 into a price increase without losing subscribers.
Come on guys if you’re going to do this shit at least try it with a good show first.
I thought HotD was pretty universally praised? I liked it.
The potential problem is they waited too long to make season 2 and killed the momentum. Wednesday on Netflix is in the same boat.
Boy oh boy I love piracy
The price hike follows Warner Bros. Discovery and Disney’s decision to bundle their streaming services, Disney+, Max and Hulu. The bundle will be available in both ad-supported and ad-free tiers. While the pricing has not been disclosed, CNBC reported that it will be offered at a discount in an effort to make it a more desirable option.
Whats even cheaper than bundling is only subscribing to one at a time and canceling before subscribing to the next one. Rotating services make for a pretty cheap monthly streaming bill.
I know what be cheaper than that, matey. We’ll be talkin’ about it over at the Filthy Whore over a flagon o’ grog.
Arrrrrrr
If ye get lost, look for the tavern with the black flag hanging outside and the sound of a mighty host carousing.
Hmm… what to do… what to do…
Capitalism is destroying itself. It’s happening slowly, but on a long enough timeline, it can be observed. I don’t know that it’ll implode in my lifetime, but it’s certainly well on its way.
Pirates life
TIL Warner Brothers owns HBO.
Totally did not know that. I know that AT&T sold it but didn’t realize Warner Brothers bought it.
WB has always had ties to HBO & has traditionally focused on showing WB content.
Discovery, Scripps, Time Warner & HBO were all tied up in the Discovery-AT&T merger.
HBO is now part of Warner Media, which is part of Warner Discovery.
That’s why we went from an app with incredible HBO shows and movies, to Max which is full of Discovery channel “reality” TV garbage.
🏴☠️🏴☠️
That free (ad-free) MAX subscription from my ISP is the best decision I have made in a while.
