    I think more convenient and user friendly is a bit of a stretch.

    My wife gets confused by the remote and different profiles. My parents needed me to explain how to use Netflix more than once. Saying going to your PC and finding a torrent is convenient and user friendly isn’t true. But the point that having to search where to stream a particular movie or show isn’t user friendly is also true.

    This is a lousy article rehashing an article behind a paywall.

    The cost they have is $87 a month. There is so much that’s confusing about this. They don’t specify how many streaming services they are counting in that, but it’s a good guess that is about 5, each at about $17 a month. I feel I have too many streaming services and share accounts with family, and I can stream from about 7, pay for one and watch 1.5. If I couldn’t share accounts, I wouldn’t have the accounts. I pretty much watch star trek and whatever show someone tells me to watch.

    They also don’t specify what $87 a month gets you in cable. Around me that’s about basic cable prices, which is significantly less content presented in a less convenient format and is almost entirely reruns filled to brim with commercials.

    Not only is the article missing key information it also misrepresents the information it has.

    Note: I’m sure people will tell me to pirate everything, but there are reasons to not pirate. And it doesn’t address that this is a poorly written article giving incomplete and incorrect information.


  • It is!

    Most companies make BS solutions for fake problems. Not going to the office exposes a large chunk of fake needs.

    Do families really need two cars? If you aren’t commuting every day, probably not.

    Having more free time means people are more likely to cook and clean for themselves. Can’t make money off of that.

    How many suits do you need to own? None! You only owned them because you are supposed to wear them in the office.

    Dry cleaners? No longer a bill.

    Gas? When you aren’t sitting in your cities parking lot of a freeway isn’t bought as often.

    Speaking of parking lots, you aren’t paying for parking anymore.

    Daycare and dog walkers aren’t needed anymore.

    Going up work is expensive and companies want us addicted to these fake expenses.
