Wow, who crapped in your Cheerios?

With recent shenanigans MoviePass I wonder why people use their app. That's why I made the comment.

Why use a service that restricts you? Tracks you (now removed)? Go from unlimited movies, to restrictions?

Why use something that you have to pay for and NOT get much value for it? Just go to the movie theater like everyone else?

I hadn't even heard of MoviePass until seeing this posting at HN. I don't watch movies, and MoviePass sounds ridiculous.

I was critiquing your comment because it had no substance and seemed anti-intellectual. It actually sounded like what you see people write to defend bull-crap like MoviePass, as in "Don't like Facebook's terrible actions? You don't have to use it…" used as an argument against people complaining (as opposed to an argument that people should leave Facebook because the complaints are legitimate).

Maybe it was just a misunderstanding. Seems you didn't do a good job of making your initial point, and I replied to the words I read.
