    With all the streaming options out there it’s wild to me that these services continue to be able to jack up their prices. I’m less interested than ever with tolerating their bullshit.

        Fuck the company I’m in is going hog wild with that right now. I think I’m insulated because I’ve never negotiated pay even when hired so I’m probably relatively cheap for them to keep on. I hope you land well

          Thanks, it seems like all the tech giants are losing money and laying off a ton of tech workers to please their shareholders.

        I’m sorry for your lost employment. Hopefully you at least acquired skills to land an even better job!

          Thanks, there is one upside: it finally allowed me to move out of NYC after 5 years. I’m living down in Miami now, still unemployed but I’m living off the money they gave me haha

        Well they are a big evil corporation so it’s expected, but shame on you for doing that to your employees.

          The real kicker is they gave me my 5 year pin a month before and we’re giving me a yearly monetary incentive to stay with them.

      Except they’re all pulling the same skeezy shit. Notice that Prime is legit one of the last ones to raise prices, they were waiting for the majority of the market before following suit since literally no one gets Prime just for Prime Video.

      I might drop prime and I don’t even watch anything on there, I find them at sea. You don’t get to do ads and charge.
