Well, sure… not everyone has to self host to see what they want to see either, but my reasoning remains the same. The people signing up and paying for Netflix all of a sudden likely lack the aptitude or don’t care enough. I got a sandwich yesterday that was $12.
I can somewhat understand both perspectives. Although I too sail the high seas, if you don’t have the aptitude to self host, and you only care to binge a show over the weekend, $12 (or whatever it costs now) is a somewhat justifiable expense. I mean, 1 comic book is $4-$6 on average these days. One of those might provide 15 minutes of entertainment and a month of anticipation. $12 is a good value.
I remember having an ASUS board for about 6 months back in the mid 2000’s before it blew up. Talked to some people back then and it was a relatively common experience. I’m not sure how ASUS has been doing well as a company for the past 20 years, when it seems like all their stuff blows up.
I’ve been MSI all the way since then and it’s worked out swimmingly.
If you’re into the feeling of getting punched or stabbed, why not try just getting into a street fight? You will save money, and it would be super realistic.
As a resident of central FL (for now), my neighbors eating armadillos would explain quite a bit.
