"Glorious streaming future!"

Just wait until some network nits get it trough their heads to try and improve their image, protect their brand or some stupidity and suddenly the R rated versions of movies new and old go poof out of existence. We just begun our moronic plowing on ahead with a digital streaming only future and we are already seeing cases of companies being less than intent on keeping even their own media available. (which is literally the EASIEST and CHEAPEST part of the whole streaming concept.. data storage.. literal pennies on the dollar costs)

You will own nothing and like it.. in the most literal sense.

As for the falling sub numbers and such... I have a suggestion.

Start making, buying or financing shows and movies that actual viewers (as in real people who use your service) want to watch, their sensibilities included, and stop making such decisions based off of what market analysts, media/press hacks or social media thinks!
