i'm home for the weekend, my parents finally cut cable. they've got a roku now which my dad described as a "vessel for netflix". i like that. i like that my dad's blasting nu-metal from the other room (since when did that happen?). i don't like disney plus, but i'm not sure how much of that is because of disney, or because the proliferation of streaming services seems to be making things worse somehow

i'm not sure whether i like netflix either but i watch more of it than i ever watched trad-tv which was basically just an engine for live sports since i stopped watching cartoon network

"as server issues and security concerns plague launch day" could probably be appended to any given tech launch at this point as well eh

I'd wanna see the stats on these newboy streaming services, honestly. Are they doing well? I haven't been keeping up with news because it exhausts me, but I'd love to see a breakdown on how making the market hecka more crowded has changed things since when Netflix was the only boi in town.
