This was my only slight reservation when I cancelled my HBO Max subscription in the wake of all the merger fuckery and cancelations, that I'd lose my grandfathered in perks. I had HBO in some form for decades prior.
Thanks for vindicating me, assholes. If you ever make anything else worth watching, I don't respect you enough not to sail the 7 seas🏴☠️
Just cancelled mine. Good job, capitalism!
Sad as always that the non-wealthy sycophants of capitalism will do mental backflips blaming it on everything but the out of control capital markets absolutely drunk on profit and the power of regulatory/legislative capture.
We need to return to regulated capitalism. It's clear removing regulations makes it not work for us as humans.
Prior to Reagan capitalism was regulated and limited. Then he and Thatcher let the dogs loose.
That's fair.
I should have added that regulations were implemented post-WW2. My bad on forgetting to add that in prior to posting.
The other side of this problem is that most attempts so far at actually getting rid of capitalism end up being pretty horrific, and then end up back at roughly the same place anyway, but with more autocracy because people will be rightfully pissed off about having violent revolution imposed on their otherwise decent lives.
The reality is that capitalist forces are a byproduct of scarcity and economic complexity. As long as you have these things you will have something resembling capitalism. You can call it something different but you'll still just be meditating scarcity via a monetary proxy in some form or another.
This is the biggest thing orthodox/ML socialists really hate to acknowledge, but there is about a century of hindsight and academic thought which builds on Marx, mostly coming to a similar conclusion. It's extremely bizarre and frustrating to hear MLs reject entire libraries of reformed socialism outright, seemingly because it doesn't route through violence, and for me at least, it really says a lot about what their real priorities are.
The only financial barrier to entry for 4K video sharing is to afford an internet connection and a big enough drive.
