      He’s for whoever pays him money… bunch of dirty greedy fuckwads who have zero concept of how the average person lives. Piracy wouldn’t be a problem if companies were providing easy access for a low price. It had dropped quite a bit when netflix was the only option and they weren’t charging extortion fees and raising them every couple months.

        Not to mention the insane amount of exclusivity going on now and even the stupidity of certain features of the service not being available in certain areas. I stopped paying for Netflix when I got it from a rep that because I was living in a non-English-speaking country that I couldn’t have access to the English voice track of a show I wanted to watch.

        Subscriptions are the next iteration of the console wars. They bank on exclusives instead of designing the best user experience and selling themselves on merit alone.
