No matter what abomination of greed we witness on this website, there's always some sucker who's going to justify it.



Someone is always around to point out that entertainment is not food or health care and you are free to choose which, and how much to consume. And that consuming all of it, all the time, however you like, for pennies, is not a human right.


People are frustrated that streaming promised to get us away from the absurdity of cable subscription packages, and now they are just as bad.

It's not a human right to watch NFL, you're right (even though no one is claiming that it is). But people are allowed to be frustrated.


That "someone" doesn't get that people are frustrated with the progressive "enshittification" of everything.

It's not about a single source of entertainment, it's that we're witnessing every nice thing become shittier and shittier each year, all for the purpose of increasing profits which are already immense and concentrated in the hands of a few.
