      Especially suck less.

      If they sucked less, they’d have broader appeal, meaning more consumers so could potentially, maybe, not be so overpriced vs their value.

      Oh, who am I kidding? Hollywood has been a bunch of arrogant asshats forever.

      Remember when Netflix first started raising prices claiming it was all going to go toward new content that people would be excited for? That was years ago now and we’ve seen additional increases, along with ads, and blocking account sharing and their content still sucks for the most part.

    Next time an artist makes a big deal about being ripped off I’m going to contrast “working hard and then getting ripped off” with “underregulated industry manipulating society for profit” and probably just pirate.
