Better than ever! Seriously.

Indexers like NZBGeek, Drunkenslug, and NZBFinder have resulted in me getting almost anything I want, short of some obscure Australia series from the 80s. Providers are doing 2000+ days retention and I’m only using 1 myself, never even needed to get a backup on a different backbone.

I haven’t dodged anything. Have you asked me anything about any of these platforms? I don’t go on any of them. I have a twitter account with about 8 tweets over 10+ years, a Facebook account with even less posts over 20 years, an Instagram account with about the same, and a Lemmy account. Feel free to actually show me what you’re talking about and ask my thoughts on it though :)

You’re imagining and almost begging for a genocide that is not happening and never will happen just so you can say you were right. Again - how many trans people have the government systematically rounded up and executed? Zero. Not one. Nil.

Funny because I wasn’t talking about weightlifting 😂. I was talking about Lia Thomas. The fact that you couldn’t even pick the right time it happened is telling. Also laurel hubbard, the trans woman weightlifter who I assume you’re talking about, competed with women, not men. She broke their world records with warm up lifts.

Is there a way to “steal” the content? Yes, that’s how it appears on torrent sites.

It absolutely is stealing. You’re taking something that is not yours, something that someone else owns and charges money for.

Mental gymnastics.

Combat it with words, not with crying for censorship.

😂 there you go are just calling differing opinions “transphobia, like clockwork. “You lesbians will suck my girl penis or you’re transphobic!”. “If you girls want to win medals then why don’t you just smash your sports records with ease like I, the hulking 6’3” jacked woman who went through male puberty, did?”

You won’t engage because you know I’m right. You have no response. You know women’s rights are being eroded, you just don’t care because it benefits you, a male.

Where is this supposed systematic genocide of trans people happening? How many trans people have the government rounded up and murdered this year? Last year?

I look forward to more deflecting and playing the “I won’t engage” card 😂. It’s all you’ve got.

People went to cable because it had no ads and let you have the opportunity to watch stuff you’d missed because they looped content regularly. Missed an episode of the Simpsons? All good, it’s on again in 12 hours. It also has movies and shows long before free to air because they paid for it. Cable was the start of subscriptions and paying for individual channels.

There’s not going to be enough people that ditch them and pirate to make it unsustainable.

It’s not a problem, it’s how subscription services work.

[–] Whirlybird@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago

You don’t get to keep anything you download from them……

Here in Australia I remember when we were told that every free to air station was working together to make a single streaming app, was very excited and it would have made me actually watch more free to air stuff.

Then those talks broke down and Insta we got 6 different streaming apps all requiring their own accounts and with differing levels of quality in their apps.

I did not end up watching more free to air tv.

It’s definitely sustainable, which is why every movie studio now is doing their own streaming service instead of putting their content on someone else’s.

Why do you think it’s not sustainable?

They get paid, they just don’t get residuals for life from every job they were paid to do.
