    MPA wouldn’t have anywhere near as big of a piracy problem if all the large streaming platforms worked together to create a singular service at a good price that has everything you want. Now it’s easier and cheaper than ever to buy a few external and VPN service and download/torrent your favorite shows over paying for over 5 streaming services (at least in the US) and having nothing to watch because all your favorite shows got removed half way through you watching the first season (and only season if it’s a new series).

    That, and there are a few shows I have to watch through piracy because they aren’t even available anywhere in America.

      VRV was looking to be exactly what you are talking about, then Sony wrecked it

    Instead you could stop making shitty movies and reheating successful recipes. And stop inventing three new streaming services every week.

    What about a meta streaming service. One subscription for everything and companies get paid by the share of the views their shoes shows (I’m not that interested in the shoes to be honest) had. Maybe make your own fronts for your services if you insist, but everything is accessible through one subscription.

    I’m so tired of getting shit on by corporations to later read I’m the problem. People are sick of this shit. Stop being assholes and people will happily pay for your content! I want to pay for things I enjoy, but I just cancelled Netflix because they suck so fucking hard.

      Ugh, I’m really pissed. Please, content producers. Look in the mirrors and check if you are the assholes. You might be surprised by what you see.

    The title is a bit misleading. They didn’t hire an FBI agent. They hired a retired FBI agent. I feel that is a pretty crucial difference
