/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

So here's an unpopular opinion, but this isn't a bad thing. It's just not enough.
The biggest reason that legal, paid Streaming is so shitty these days, the reason people miss old Netflix, is that everything is spread across so many different platforms now. Back in the day, just having Netflix meant you had just about everything, and if you wanted more still you could get Hulu... and that was it. One, maybe two subscriptions, and you're set. But now? Now you need half a dozen subscriptions and you're still picking what things you won't get. If content was more centralized again, that wouldn't be a problem.
And if content was more centralized, that centralized platform would have PLENTY of subscribers, they wouldn't need to add commercials and hike prices just to stay afloat. I mean... they'd do it anyway because capitalism enshittifies everything, but it wouldn't be a do or fail situation for them.
The only thing I ever used the Paramount streaming for was Trek. I wouldn't complain if Trek, ALL Trek, migrated to somewhere else that has other things I like, too.
It's odd that people are against monopolies, generally speaking, but for streaming services we would prefer if there were a few giant companies which owned it all.
I'm not disagreeing with the above, just thought it was curious.
People aren't clamoring for a monopoly, they are asking for interoperability. I didn't need a single VHS rental store to be the only place I could get Ernest Scared Stupid, but I did need to be able to get Ernest Goes to Jail at every VHS rental store.
I'm clamoring for more miak.
