I suppose we could look into Hulu. but when I checked, their price was $8 higher than YouTube, and they had fewer channels by 4 or 5. (In other words, not much of a difference.)
And who's to say Hulu won't be following suit and raising their prices as well?
You say BestNetTech is political?
Yes. I've been following since 2006, and I haven't noticed a day where there wasn't a political discussion.
Where have you been?
I'd like the FCC and the FTC to start looking at how enshittified the streaming app space is.
CW, MGM, SyFy, and others have tried to add on ads, and half the time it just stops the streaming app and you have to go through motions to get the movie or episode restarted.
Paramount+ has, for months running, had issues wherein the voiceoever mode is on, with no way to turn it off. (I had to resort to casting from my computer to my Nvidia Shield Pro, which, ironically, in effect obviated the need for the Shield device for streaming.)
Paramoiunt+ also can't always remember where you are, episode-wise, in a series. Or that you already watched an episode. Or insists you have to watch the entirety of the credits before you can watch the next episode.
And even before ads were brought in, Paramount+ insisted you had to see previews of shows, even if you were already watching it and had seen the episode the preview was for. Multiple times.
NetFlix has such a convoluted interface that in order to leave its app, you have to scroll a bajillion times before you can exit the app. (Fortunately, the Nvidia shield devices have a button on their remotes. I don't know it's oficial Nvidia name, but I call it my For Fuck's Sake Get Me The Hell Out Of This App (FFSGMTHOOTA, which is like the sound I make after a few moments with the various apps and have become flustergated with it).
AppleTV probably has the best interface, but you can't turn off auto-start of the next episode, or series, or thing in your watch list.
They all need to put your watch list at the top of the main page. And they all need to allow you to customize your viewing experience.
Yeah, they enshittified it. It took them what, 3 years, maybe 4?
I have to deal with being shown previews on Paramount+, often of shows I am already subscribed to on the service. They don't even try to build in some intelligence. And this is still an ad even if they call it a preview.
And the apps themselves leave much to be desired. Ever try to use the menu to leave NetFlix? Fortunately the circle button on my remote for my Nvidia Shield Pro to take me out to he main menu. Also useful for when in the Hulu and Peacock apps when they ask if you8're sure you want to leave.
Paramount+ randomly resets my viewing in a show. This means at times it shows an episode as unseen although I had watched it. And at times it returns a series or a movie back to the viewing area, even when I am completely finished with it.
And if you make me go to the website so I can take some action, I am looking at Paramount+ and Prime, then you really suck.
I am no longer going to subscribe for whole years at a time. I will subscribe for a month after several shows have all been "aired", and I'll consume like a locust and then move on.
The thing that was great about streaming until recently was that I could watch the show or movie without anything at the beginning or in-between or at the end.
Why is it everything has to be turned into a broadcast?
Well, never underestimate the ability of Republicans to twist logic in whatever way is necessary to support their position. They already changed their "position" on whether a sitting President gets to nominate a SCOTUS associate justice. And they intend to impeach Biden if they hold the House or Senate after the 2022 mid-term elections. And let's not forget how deficit spending is good if done by a Republican-led House/Senate, but bad if done by a Democrat-led one.
For better or for worse, until they lose badly in national legislative elections, and probably state-level as well, they aren't going to learn their lesson. And even then, maybe not.
“I expect we’ll get to the bottom of this,” Sessions replied. “This is not right. We’ve never seen this kind of leaking. It’s almost as if people think they have a right to violate the law, and this has got to end, and probably it will take some convictions to put an end to it.”
It took "some convictions" to share the information Jeffy. Hopefully, in the end, the convictions might be yours, Trumps, and the whole rotten lot of you.
The article closes out with the question "Wouldn't it be nice if there were a single presidential candidate who actually understood this particular issue?"

Screen Doors
We may as well start building submarines with screen doors, or put picture windows on outhouses. It will have the same result.

I don't listen to his music, solo or with the Eagles.

When I register my domain I have to provide details for:
1) The Registrant Contact
2) The Administrative Contact
3) The Technical Contact

4) The Billing Contact
If this DMCA Contact is so damned important, why not just add it to the domain registration?
And if lack of copyright notice doesn't mean a copyright doesn't exist, why do I need a comment on my site for the DMCA?
Why is the Copyright office involved in this non-copyright issue?

Not difficult, technically speaking. So it's likely there is a cost in dollars that they don't want to pay.
