Again, that said someone is the President of the United States. If he wasnt the president, these companies probably wouldnt be doing this. I still feel thats pretty relevant.

I feel like the general answer is going to be 'None', and that Microsft is not really going to care about that very much.

The OP was questioning why these companies are doing what this man is asking them to. I feel the reason is because this man is the president. The fact is relevant to the statement, which is why I wrote it.

I disagree. If you put an email address on a contact page, all manner of sh*t is going to be thrown at you. Automated marketing services, scammers, competitors, everyone and their dog are going to be filling up your customer service inbox a

Off topic, but you have used imgur as your image hosting site, which cannot be viewed in the UK. If you want all readers to be able to see and understand your points, please could you use a more universally reachable host?

I really dont see what your comment means in response to the current thread?

Im not sure how that is a response to my comment about one being more valuable than the other.

And quite rightly so. Why would Netflix let Apple list all their content in an Apple branded interface as if it were their own?

by alt227 11mo ago
I dont think its anti consumer, just anti competitive. Why would you allow a direct competitior to show your content on their branded devices and interface to help them become a one stop shop for all streaming services? Apple should not be

Its nothing to do with the wall they are behind, the market and companies are just smaller. For example, Tencent Video ranks 4th largest streamer in the world by subscribers after Amazon, Netflix, and Disney+. All American companies. Your a

WWE dont have the clout they used to. I remember when they were the number 1 viewed website on the internet. Nowadays the MMA & UFC is much more valuable.

Most of those chips are made in TSMC or samsung foundries, the majority of which are currently in China or South Asia.

Yes but it doesnt increase the amount of shows or movies on any of them. This new amount of content will just feed into the rotating library, not create one big library of content always available. So in fact you are loosing providers and l

Netflix have never been a streaming service to put loads of good content on their service and keep it there. I would imagine they will use this injection of content to drip feed and slowly rotate movie franchises in order to keep users inte

Its interesting the listeners context and opinion which informs this. For example I feel like the song you posted does not sound new at all, but more like the new wave post punk music of the 70s such as people like Adam and the Ants.

The parent comment I was replying to was talking about the cost of distributing a mailing list via email. I was replying to that, no need for snark.

Just playing devils advocate, but why not just switch to posting on a free hosted blog platform? The information can be there for all to see, it doesnt need to be distributed directly into mailboxes by premium mailer services.

This attitude promotes eliteism in music, which I am very opposed to.

I personally dont feel like an ultra filtered social media which only shows me things I agree with is a good thing. Exposing yourself to things you dont agre with is what helps us all question our own beliefs and prejudeces, and grow as peo

Thats up to whatever you agree with the owner when you license it.

by alt227 11mo ago
Yeah, if you license something to use in your game then that item comes with a license term. You did not buy it and you do not own it. If you did buy it instead of license it, you would be free to do whatever you wanted with it forever. But
