💡 Why turn streaming logos into pirate site logos?
It's the Spider-Man 'glasses reveal' meme template, used here to say paid streaming with ads is basically the same hassle as piracy — so why keep paying?vs. Reddit: the same joke format shows up as 'me when the $15 app has ads now' Spider-Man edits mocking paid streaming.Klore note

    A wild thing I heard as a kid that I couldn't believe - the fascinating tale that streaming used to have no ads.

    Back then: streaming will kill torrenting. Now Sony's going digital-only and Microsoft's patenting in-game ads? The wave is coming!

    If we're watching ads too, shouldn't it just be free?

    광고도 봐주면 무료로 해야되는 거 아니냐고

    Soon there'll be an ad-remove tier, then a super-ad tier, then super-super-ad-remove, then hyper-ads...

    Might as well make it free with ads. At least then I'd actually watch the ads.

    They said we don't need torrents anymore, and now they're bringing that era back with their own hands.

    There used to be so many good shows on Netflix. Green Arrow, Flash, Daredevil were all fun.

    넷플에서 드라마 만들 때 재밌는거 많았는데. 그린 애로우, 플래시, 데어데블 등 재밌었는데.

    You guys should just outsource everything to Netflix at this point.
