Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

In one sense it's like getting a streaming service for $3 a month.

In another sense, it's like the prime value proposition is starting to crumble. I got it for the shipping but the video was nice and music was discounted and pretty good.

It def feels like these companies are turning the screws because they know they can get away with it. And on principle that bothers me, but I'm also torn because I want to pay for content I like (and don't want ad supported media).

I got an eye patch laying around here somewhere. I might have to dust it off. It's been 15 years since I wore it.
