Yup. Fuck peacock.
Years ago NBC got the rights to stream the premiere League. And they did a great job. Every game. Live. It was glorious.
Then they slowly started to cleave that coverage into a packages. Now you'll be lucky to catch three of the matches live on peacock. You'll need two or three other services to watch the rest I hope they get absolutely fucked.
2008 Olympics, NBC had amazing streaming of everything with all matches with coverage with/without commentary. I’ve been disappointed every Olympics after that one with how simple and amazing the coverage was for that year.
That was amazing. Just watch the matches without some yokel talking. Watch any event you wanted. Now it's worse than ever.
It’s almost, and stick with me here, like Netflix was actually a better deal for everyone involved. They should have just left their content there and earned passive income on properties they really don’t care about.
It's also almost like the obsessive-compulsive need for total control pushed by socially parasitic copyright lawyers in boardrooms are NOT good for anyone involved... except maybe socially parasitic copyright lawyers.
Good.
How much of that was executive compensation?
The thumbnail is glorious for this.
Isn’t that the British MP?
Hoping these companies start to realize that we don’t need MORE fucking streaming services…especially when they create one by just taking their content off of others and making us pay again.
