Home We live in an age where ownership has become increasingly unattainable, especially in regards to media. Some of it is mostly just the sands of time taking their course. CDs and DVDs were declared "obsolete" just like VHS tapes before them, so they stopped putting disc readers in computers, and they've begun the process of phasing out discs from retail entirely, and streaming became the new mode of watching. And at first, it more or less worked. But then it became decentralized, and now there's a million little half-baked apps you're expected to pay for - for the same amount of content you would've gotten from a 10 dollar Netflix subscription in 2013. Whatever, you pay for what you want and disregard the rest. But then prices arbitrarily hike, and suddenly you're watching 8 minutes of ads on an 11 minute episode of a TV show you effectively pay 120 dollars a MONTH for. Then a TV show you love gets taken off the app for, well, no reason you can see or care about. Their business model has become akin to cable TV; greedy and ineffective, because they know they can do what they want, so long as media ownership continues to be phased out. Culture has become locked behind ridiculous and ever-increasing paywalls. And it sucks. But look on the bright side, there's always an alternative, just ask Reddit ;) !
