Little unfair to say they “missed” anything when they can’t control what studios do with their licenses.

Little unfair of your to leave out:

due to the greed of Studios

Wich makes clear, I don't blame netflix.

Sure, but why hate on apple users?

Good point, I think it might have to do with the way music is differently licensed. You will often have a "monopolistic" rights management organization like BMI in USA whereas rights for video and games the rights management lies more with the overarching productions companies.

Sure, but tribalism with a brand is just beyond my understanding (hyperbole), - it's so stupid.

If Gabe cares, he will make a foundation or something.

Does not work for media, since media is a good that you need a specific version of. You don't really care what potatoes you buy (simplification) but if you want to watch a specific show, movie or play a game -you can't really subsidize it with another. So exclusivity does not work for potatoes but works for media. We would need a global overhaul of copyright to work this one out.

Sure, but again - if you murder people at a music festival and take hostages, even if you might have reasons to do so - you can expect quite a lot of people to not be on your side. The only thing for sure is that terrorists won that one.

Android/windows/linux has a lot more conveniences for my use

That's kind of my point. I don't get the aggression people have for someone using different brand.

For a streaming platform to be actually useful it needs to be a almost monopoly like steam. Netflix had a chance but missed the spot, due to the greed of Studios. So it's back to fractured marked until someone comes with a fresh idea of how to distribute video.

People white-knighting for Nintendo against a company that gave them an enjoyably Pokemon game.

No they are not.

Dude you are spreading misinformation.

Dang, the USA might actually fall apart.

Except one thing is real and the other is not. There is no god, but there is definitely sexual attraction in forms beyond heterosexuality and gender expressions outside the heteronormative form. So there is a difference between spreading misinformation in form of religion or quite useful information on gender and sex.

I have a macbook and I'm quite happy, what am I doing wrong?

Murdering people at a music festival and taking hostages might have an effect on public perception.

There is almost no way to convince people with radical opinions in a written discussion. So the push back is not really useful to challenge the opinion of op but of people less radical or neutral who are also reading the comment. But if the comment did not get any traction, there might be a downside in engaging by getting more attention to the comment. And you don't know which side of the argument people in the end will chose - so I would just leave it alone. If I'm not in mood for some flaming.

Even if you don’t win, pushing back against hatred is always the right thing to do.

Depends: if something did not get any attention - than push back is contra-productive, since it might just create more attention. If something is already getting than pushing back might be helpful in the bigger picture.

It was more of an attempt at a joke. But the comments on reddit are rather close to the infinite monkey situation. While you are absolutely right that 4chan might be even closer. But 4chan is too hardcore for me, so I kind of forgot about it.

Nah, most Jews don't give a shit - yes I'm their spokesperson but only on this specific topic. Also sounded like a joke.
