Reply to comment by pingveno in Ted Sarandos says that Netflix has “never canceled a successful show” by avery5712
I completely agree. Binge watching is a short term "pleasure" but I think it's detrimental to the long term impact of shows. Either you binge everything asap, or you get the show spoiled on next Mondays lunch break.
It turns the entire thing into a solitary experience. You never really feel like there's a point in talking to acquaintances about the shows, because the odds of you being at the same point in the show are so low.

Reply to comment by dtmfadvice in Ticketmaster's most vocal critics, Swifties, will protest outside the U.S. Capitol by koavf
It also won’t fix bots or scalpers. I think if Ticketmaster had maybe had a semi-competent ticket sale (which hello, they should be able to do) this wouldn’t be an issue at all. People got pissed off after they were in the queues all day and then kicked off or didn’t get tickets after waiting for so long.
And yeah, artists generally earn more from touring than actual music sales. Not sure how that works with an artist like Swift who sells a lot of music, and I think she owns the rights to her music as well.

We already have ways of tracking the ownership of tickets. That's not where the issue is.

I never really appreciated the episode per week format until someone pointed out the benefits. It lets viewers form a community that discusses each episode, speculates on new developments, and savors it over time.
From the platform's standpoint, that means fewer people subscribing just to binge a show or two. Hence Disney can trickle out Mandalorian episodes that retains subscribers, but Netflix drops Stranger Things in one or two batches every year or more that might get fewer sustaining subscribers.

Well, unless they kill the Reserved List my highest valued stuff is safe. Even some stuff they have reprinted hasn't dropped, such as my P3K Imperial Seal.

The intro to that show scares the daylights out of my parents cats, to the point that Lilyhammering became a word they use anytime something startling happens.

For real. When it suits their interests they’ll even subsidize it!

Reply to comment by Psychomadeye in Don't say 'mummy': Why museums are rebranding ancient Egyptian remains by wazzel2u
Dang, that’s insane. See, I didn’t really hang out with the other kids at school that much. Like, yeah, I had a few friends I would hang out with from time to time, but most of the information I learned as a kid came from books, television and the occasional museum day. You know, because those are made by ADULTS who know what the frick they’re talking about, so I trusted them over the word of some random kid at school.

I'd sell them a few for a really good price of just $500 billion each. And buy five get two free. I'll even gift wrap.

I think they are using some metrics a lot of us wouldn’t agree with.

She also has to do business with a monopoly, it's not like she's unaffected by it.
