@RustyCrab @PurpCat @sneeden The golden age of netflix was always kind of a lie. They were able to, because they were a small distribution platform exclusive to the relatively few people who had fast internet at that time, they were willing to sign more lucrative (for netflix) deals letting them get premium content for cheap. When everyone was on it, the content producer's margins started to thin out a bit. That's why it got worse and worse over time.

I never stopped torrenting. I don't know why more people didn't. We would be so much better off if ALL the media companies died. I'm serious about that, we don't need like 10 blockbuster movies every summer.
