   Streaming platforms (video) are a grift. Now they're colluding to get you to sign up for others (as I'm sure you have seen). Today's ballgame is an Apple TV exclusive, despite the fact that I have an MLB account and that should allow me to watch all of the games.

   I literally signed up for their 1 week free trial just to be able to watch it.

     @Ricardus There's games that are on Peacock as well on Sunday mornings to make note and pay up if your team is playing that morning...

     I feel it's only the beginning of many major sports going to steaming paywalls in the coming years.

     Not too unlike local broadcast blackouts.
