Don’t forget, Hulu is owned by Disney too. Honestly, I’m done with video streaming at least for a while. I never have time anymore to watch anything so it’s just a money suck and physical media is better anyway.
There’s one service still putting out quality content but low overall volume, but mentioning their name on Lemmy is a risky bet. Anyway, piracy is free and can be set up for convenience too.
Edit: it’s Apple TV+ that has the best selection of originals IMO. Their volume of content is lower than the big boys though, they don’t license 3rd party content. And you can expect to see everyone using Apple devices in shows with a modern setting, way too obvious product placement.
Maybe I’m just cynical, but I feel like everyone cancelling is going to forget about this in a few months when the news cycle moves on and a new Star Wars show comes out or something.
Has a disorganized boycott like this ever worked? (honest question)
A lot of us are only here because we wanted to join a consumer action against Reddit. The first few months I was on Lemmy every post was about how Reddit users were fleeing in droves and we were going to show those big bad corporate clowns over at Reddit not to mess with us and Reddit would collapse within weeks.
Welp. Reddit is doing just fine, so yeah, color me cynical as well. I like it better here though.
I agree and I thought more people would be frustrated enough to leave Reddit. But there are enough of us here now that there is an alternative to Reddit that is viable. Hopefully that becomes common knowledge and they realize leaving Reddit doesn’t mean not having a community, so they feel encouraged to switch.
I second this. From experience, I noticed more hyper local subs on Reddit are very active, but the more larger general subs seem to endlessly repost old content or share exaggerated titles/content. I do wish there were more of a local presence on Lemmy, not everyone wants to go to Reddit or Facebook Groups for that.
