    It really is the only way

    It seems like the same issue as cable. It’s not a la carte like we were promised, we get bundles of shows. So my pet peeve is I’d have to subsidize fox news if I want a news package. Not happening. I don’t watch 90% of these package deals. It’s almost $90 a month for Hulu live, and it keeps going up.

    Maybe I’m just getting too old, but what is the logo on the top right in the third panel?

      Like the other replies said, it’s Viaplay. I don’t know about other countries but it’s fairly common here in Sweden.

      Viaplay. In my country (the Netherlands) the only reason anyone’s heard of them (AFAIK) is that they have the rights to broadcast Formula 1 races here so they get a lot of signups at the start of the racing season, and a lot of cancellations at the end of that season.

    Another main reason why I took off my hat back then was because I was a broke college kid with garbage internet speed and my only computer was a laptop. Torrenting shows sometimes means I need to have my laptop on for days. Now I have an entire homelab setup with a dedicated VM on one of my servers for torrenting and I can afford fast internet. I was pleasantly surprised how efficiently I can torrent when I got back sailing recently.

    I remember having some reservations and skepticism regarding the ongoing good faith of Netflix when it was the new hotness.

    I was called, you may have guessed, a Luddite, and told that "it would be bad business" if Netflix fucked people over and that it’d be silly to hold on to physical copies of entertainment media.

    Now I’m basically this face to the same people i-told-you-dog

    I use to torrent everything until Netflix and as competitors began popping up it was fine as it was convenient but now I can’t keep up with what’s where. Had to dust off the hat and learned to set up a server for jellyfin. I tried being fair but they got greedy

    The original comic said 2019 in the third panel as well as HBO Go. Time for a 2023/Max edit, I guess.

    There used to be a time when you could watch Hulu without a subscription. Times change. Some other times loop.
