JUST LET US TURN OFF THE LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS BOOTUP SOUNDS IN EVERY APP!!!
Peacock disabled auto play previews for a while and it was great. But that was only because the whole screen would go black for a couple seconds as it tried to load the preview. They fixed that issue and now the previews are back. Mute button is doing a lot of great work these days.
For me it’s: remember the last user on this device!
If I open Hulu and I have ONE account, why are you making me select the ONE account? I have to select it every time. They should know.
if(accounts.length === 1) { setAccount(accounts[0]); }There. I fixed it. Give me a job.
Triple equals? I’m no expert programmer but I’ve never seen that before.
Other people have answered, but if you’d like to know more it’s a JavaScript thing:
Vs
Double equals means equals, triple equals means strict equality including type.
Prevents a Boolean true being evaluated to 1 for example
Specific to JS, due to the double equals being type oblivious
I have nothing to contribute to this conversation. Just wanted to say that was a horribly written article.
It’s llm regurgitated garbage. Welcome to the new and worse internet.
All that I see being “new” with LLM regurgitated garbage is that they call the system doing it an AI and not just a spam bot. Even back in the day, randomly entering words and adding “.com” to the end would result in either: a legitimate website, a porn site, a 404 error, or a page filled with random text like an AI generated article that wasn’t hard to determine was made by a computer and not a real human either there to popup when searching literally any words and trying to generate traffic for ads, or as a placeholder for the domain name.
Now that it’s harder to tell it’s randomly generated vs human generated, even the “legitimate” websites are using it.
Time to go back to just reading books (those written pre llms)
You’re not kidding. 2nd paragraph in I stopped. 3rd graders can write better than this.
Tv is $999.00 a month? What?
This article could not have been written by a human. It’s like nobody ever reads past the title.
I’m assuming it’s unnecessary and out of place sarcasm
I think he meant that all the streaming subscriptions add up.
Not sure if the writer had a stronk, or just written by an LLM. It gets rather repetitive later on as well.
Confir. Am stronk
Stronks go up
I am curious his much it would be if you got top tier of ALL the streaming services. Probably more than most would guess.
This article very much reminds me of this video: https://youtu.be/ObL2xm5NrCk?si=p6_aVvIYaFrVpDML
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
You’ve found the source. This is outright plagiarism.
I switched away from piracy to streaming because they offered a legitimately good value proposition that benefited both the consumer and the producer.
Currently switching back to piracy because these greedy fucks just don’t know when to stop.
Getting out of hand? They’ve been out of hand for a while.
You also do not have to get every one, but yes they have been getting greedy
Came here to say this.
Yeah, but they still were below what the market would bear price wise. Until the very last price increases, if you counted up all of the biggest service fees, it was still lower than the average cable bill like almost a decade before.
Paying is for people who don’t know how to download.
Most content on those services isn’t even worth your time.
It’s cable with extra steps.
To be fair, everything is on-demand now, but it doesn’t change their greediness.
I can’t afford all these streaming services. I’m basically back to one at a time, churning through them until I run out of things to watch.
I absolutely can afford them, but I’m canceling them purely on principle at this point.
My final straw was watching Fallout, when Amazon said “this program is ad-free thanks to this sponsor” and then not only showed an ad, but didn’t even acknowledge that it was me paying them for the service, like I should be grateful to some stupid company for shoving their advertising in my face when I’m the one giving them my hard-earned money.
I rally enjoyed Fallout! I didn’t see any ads. Might be because I won’t give my money directly to Amazon.
When you say that it sounds like a bad thing. I’m hopping from service to service too.
I don’t get why people think they can have 15 streaming services for the price of one, and get served the $100 million movie of the day.
And the icing on the cake is that many use this as an excuse to pirate that stuff as if they were entitled to being entertained.
Most say it because they remember when Netflix had everything. It was a nice easy one stop shop and they want that again. Maybe it would need to be more extensive, sure, but every company stopped agreeing to license to Netflix because they wanted a larger peace of the pie. Sure they have the right, but people also have the right to not like it.
Honestly, I’m tired of seeing all this great tech get ruined. We could have all these things. But someone has to make money so we don’t get it.
The quality also went downhill. In my region Disney+ removed HDR support from all titles and dropped the bitrate to very low on top of that there are so many ads. Video quality is shit now. Even with subscription I’m watching PSA encodes.
Are PSA encodes terrible? The file size is always appealing but I guess there’s a reason they’re small
PSA encodes are one of the best for popular shows and movies. Just give it a try. Generally their encodes is to be consumed as it is and 4k versions might not work with some devices since they only give HDR10 and Dolby Vision encodes. If you intend to watch it with media server with transcoding better go with QxR
I only pay for Netflix because It pumps out enouth content for me to enjoy.
I’m still waiting for this shit to come full circle back to how it was with Cable, where someone links the various streaming services together in one convenient app and they tell you you can switch and save!
Just buy blurays
This is getting out of hand, now there are
twosixteen of them!fuck them. I built my own streaming service on my NAS and pirate everything. If there is a consumer friendly service where I can watch everything, I am willing to pay for content again.
