Thom Yorke has literally tried everything for selling music. Though it all he's seen the music industry eventually consume it.

You can't invent something new without it eventually turning into what was the old. We can always keep moving the tech, we can always keep inventing some new platform, but we never get to keep to ourselves forever.

The reason why this keeps happening is because people keep trying to apply a solution that doesn't apply to the problem. We don't need some NEW method of delivery. We just need to get rid of the OLD system of industry.

For that we need a culture that abhors greed, not one that celebrates, respects and elects it

Stremio + Real-Debrid = adfree streaming.

Is IPTV piracy just a European thing then?

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (3 children)

My friend here in the States has it. He let me use it for a while. It's really cool, but finding an IPTV service that's reliable is a real challenge.

The end result is that advertisers dictate content, like they have done with traditional broadcast.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

In the golden age of television, advertisers paid for the production of content and used the content to sell their wares by placing "commercials" within. Now they no longer produce content but have made deals with the content creators to insert their ads, while the end user, the consumer of content, suffers for it.

Ad free streaming is a myth now.

It’s kinda ironic that verge is also paywalled. I guess at least is not ad-walled.

When nearly everything was on Netflix for less than $10 a month and you could share it. So for a year or two.
