      If I have to pick a moment it was when cable went from subscription to sub+ads, it’s the same greedy tactics streamings are burying themselves with currently. Zaslav is also an idiot who ruined several cable channels and HBO streaming.

    “The fact that this is quality — and that’s true across our company, motion picture, TV production and and streaming quality — we all we think that gives us a chance to raise price,” he said. “We think we’re way underpriced. We’re going to take our time.”

    $10 bucks a month to watch with ads. Paying to be advertised at…

    $17 bucks a month to watch on two devices simultaneously with max of 1080p resolution…

    $21 bucks a month for four devices simultaneously with 4K resolution…

    This guy is out of his fucking mind thinking it’s priced fairly. That’s overpriced as shit already.

    Maybe if you’re a sports fan, perhaps, it’s a good deal, but if you don’t give one hot shit about sports it definitely is not.

    If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room. If you have not realized this paradigm, by all means enjoy the room.
