I don't know how to tell younger people (if you are going the legal route) that we live in a worse that is notably worse than broadcast + cable in many ways.

Every other show is on a different streaming service, which has no incentive to keep it around for more than two seasons unless it's a blockbuster. Oh and content will get vaulted for no good reason.


The irony will be that after all the fearmongering about China winning the AI arms race, it'll be good ol' Chinese manufacturing and IP theft that allows them to win and vanquish America as a threat.


>Does Nvidia have a couple hundred semi trucks, contractors, and IT technicians, to repo the hardware and resell it to someone else before it's lost most of its value?

It's better than performance art, it's something you couldn't write.


This holds for all good performance art. I suck at writing in general and I'd suck even more at writing the scenario and support materials for performance art.

The same people who still pay for cable and get roped into spending half an hour watching an infomercial at 4am.


Part of this is baked into the experience though, if "ads" here are trailers for upcoming films. I don't know if theaters are now showing ads for products, I haven't been in forever.


I am willing to accept trailers but the split is closer to 25 minutes of random shit + 5 minutes trailers. Let's be generous and say that I'm misremembering & it's actually 20 + 10. That's still 20 minutes of ads that I'm paying to watch.
