minus-squareskankhunt42@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 days agoWait, so you’re telling me not everyone has an active account on Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max. Hulu, amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, paramount+, Peacock, etc, etc etc

minus-squareskankhunt42@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 days agoThey have the ads. All we need now is a bundle that will let us choose which services/channels we sub to.
minus-squaredelmain@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 days agoMan, I wonder if they could just all get together and let me pay one cost to get access to all of that. It’s capitalism though, so it would probably have to be a different company that organized them all, right? Then they’d need to like… negotiate prices and stuff, right? I wonder if anyone will ever try it.
