My guess is this is a deliberate attempt to not get taken down from GitHub after Netflix find out people are streaming content through different systems.
- ramon156 2y agoAs much as I understand people need to feed their family, i hate how media access has all become paywalled. Why can't I choose which media to support? Why can't I pay 10 bucks to a Studio because I think they did a good job?
- tadfisher 2y agoBecause the costs are insane. You're not making Game of Thrones on a Patreon budget; the early seasons were $50 million each, and the series as a whole cost $1.5 billion. The media companies are essentially giant VC firms that assume crazy amounts of risk in the hopes that a few hits will outweigh losses from the bombs. This is why they paywall everything; subscriber revenue is steady revenue, kind of like government bonds in an investment portfolio. This is also why so many IPs are remakes, reboots, or franchises, because those are much less risky to bankroll.
