    People are too lazy to manage when to subscribe where based on what’s on offer at any given time.

    That’s it, that’s all there is to it.

      But pirating is just better, I can see what’s new across all services in seconds and get whatever I want at basically streaming speed with xdcc

        Most people don’t know where to look for to get started on that. Some people don’t even know that pirating that show they watch is even an option in the first place.

          No, but as a current non-pirate, seeing the UX of some of the newer tools is mindblowing. “You mean, I just type in any show, it looks it up and to find episode info, then gets me the episodes so I can watch it, without me having to split between services or even THINK?”

          The legal show world should have that, but every one of those services are locked-down so you can’t have a solution like that in front of them. Heaven forbid we could just license shows like retail locations license radio.

      I mean, I suck-it-up and sub to all of them. I hate the experience and my wife bitches at me at least weekly because it’s so much work to find and start a show (to the extent she ends up NOT watching the show she wanted, and leaves some stupid channel on at random). We are so close to cancelling all of them, not for the money but because the experience is complete ass.

      Guess what I’ll be doing to watch my TV if we do that?
