The Warmer Bros Discovery investors call slides basically laid out the future of streaming. You'll have threes choices 1. FAST
2. AST
3. Ad free version with a premium tax applied to make you more likely to subscribe to AST. For me the quality of entertainment has dropped to the point where I'll probably just drop all streaming and buy the things I like on sale. |

I am highly tech-savvy, as I would assume are most people on Hacker News. I have no idea what FAST and AST are in your comment. By context of you saying “ad free” I can guess that “AS” may mean “ad-supported”, but I have no idea what the F and T are and why they’re different.
Yes, I know I can “just Google it!” But by virtue of Google being useless these days, Googling “fast acronym” is all pages about strokes.
This is how tech shoots itself in the foot (yes, this is a general rant.) Use a bunch of acronyms no one understands, and then build a search engine that makes the meanings impossible to find.
Hopefully this will be better in the future. But I am not sure it will if people continue to use acronyms so frequently.
