If you’re just watching movies and tv I highly recommend just grabbing one of the streaming sites from the masterlist. Use a good ad blocker and you’re golden.

Yeah, obviously reactionary just means anything I personally disagree with. Duh.
Originally, it was being a child and not having any money of my own, and my mom getting out her wallet to enter card information on a website she had no previous knowledge of, for something she would never use personally, was a whole… thing that I can probably count on my hands the number of times it actually happened. So I stopped even asking and figured it out myself.
Edit: also, we had netflix but sometimes the shows I wanted to keep up with were still airing and I couldn’t wait.
Now, I just don’t think any company that would take my money in exchange for, generally temporary, access to media/software really deserves or needs my money all that much, and especially not more than I do. I also strongly resent that there is not a public and legal domain for things that are older than like 5 or 10 years and not actively being worked on.
What business is this guy protecting by chasing people around outside of it with a fire extinguisher as they’re leaving the business? The damage was already done at that point, there was no reason to continue escalating things further. When you put yourself in dangerous situations and personally decide to escalate them, you really can’t be surprised if you get hurt when things escalate. Mess with the bull, get the horns.
ignoring all other business expenses / taxes / etc.
…what business sector are we modeling where these are as negligible as you’re treating them to make this point???
If you’re just here to correct the math then fine but at least be honest about the reality of what you’re calculating
You’re assuming that labor is 100% of operational costs which, especially to a business like you’re describing, is very very far from reality.
We are actively being held back by companies catering exclusively to the lowest common denominator.
