It's true that Hollywood is corrupt and csuite pay is absurd, but those deals are the only mechanism by which ANY money makes it to the writers, actors and staff who deserve it

    It's the exclusivity bullshit that gets me.

    It could be: New movie is released! Anyone who pays the price tag gets to stream it!

    But no, we must bidding war gouge.

    On top of that, X Y and Z services exist in America, but not in other countries, so in this other country, everything is on Netflix, while I had to jump between three different services at one point just to watch Stargate
