lol first thing I do when getting a computer is wiping the disk and installing Linux.

I’m referring specifically to older content. Is there really a reason that Star Trek the Next Generation shouldn’t be in Netflix, for example? Paramount isn’t enough of an offer so they may be losing out on a great deal of passive income.

Is it me or does she look like the Slitheen lady from Doctor who?

lol people keep saying this but it’s all bots and trolls when you go look over there

There will be something new and we’ll all become Gen Alpha’s boomers.

Being serious, however, who can predict? We’ll have to be patient and see what happens.

You’re probably right.

I suspect that even they know that this is their own projected insecurities and that they don’t have any real justification. Better question: why do we separate players by sex in chess? Why does that matter? Just make one group and call it done.

That model may also be dead. Nobody really sees movies anymore, not like before, and nobody wants to wait 6 months for the season to end. That’s very much a 1950s - 2010 model. Not sure what will replace it, but some combination of games and informal content like YouTube/TikTok etc might be where we end up.

These sorts of moves don’t tend to happen quickly. The board may be a bunch of pearl clutchers but there may also be more to this story.

In any case, reputational damage is fully subjective and they may have to prove that harm occurred or pay out a huge settlement.

Wow. Rhetoric is important. You have to convince people. Sometimes that’s doing it with them.

That’s part of my point. They don’t have to lift a finger. Just let Netflix pay for the storage, the data centers, the bandwidth. Studios will get something out of it for doing literally nothing. But they got greedy and broke the model.

Sorry, but I just don’t trust polls anymore. They never really get a representation of the public as a whole and instead end up talking with the only interested parties: bored conservative old people.
