Rules for Movies & TV Discussion

  1. Any discussion of Disney properties should contain a (cw: imperialism) tag. If your post isn't tagged appropriately it will be removed.

  2. Anti-Bong Joon-ho trolling will result in an immediate ban from c/movies and submitted to the site administrators for review.

  3. On Star Trek Sunday only posts discussing how we might achieve space communism are permitted. Non-Star Trek related content will be removed and you will be temporarily banned until the following Sunday.

Here's a list of tons of leftist movies.

Ad-free models cap profits. You can only sell as many subscriptions as there are people. Ad-supported models can make infinite money.

The biggest issue is that subscription income isn't tied to titles, which each individually cost money (see: the Matt Damon clip about DVD sales).

infinite money

Has not and never will be more than a pipe-dream invented in boardrooms by assholes shooting their industry in the foot. Same shit with "games as a service".

Never say never! Chase your goals and believe in yourself, don't let the haters keep you down!

Ad-supported models can make infinite money.

Well I see absolutely nothing wrong with this statement, 10/10 makes complete sense

Assuming that were even true, what makes a company entitled to 'make infinite money'? Are they 'making infinite 'value' too? Or are we totally fine with them fucking their service (that has exclusive access to their titles) by holding it hostage for targeted propaganda?

You know what, actually I like it better this way, because it makes the below-board alternative feel way more justified. It makes it feel like getting your capitalist treats is doing an activism.
