I mean, I suck-it-up and sub to all of them. I hate the experience and my wife bitches at me at least weekly because it’s so much work to find and start a show (to the extent she ends up NOT watching the show she wanted, and leaves some stupid channel on at random). We are so close to cancelling all of them, not for the money but because the experience is complete ass.
Guess what I’ll be doing to watch my TV if we do that?
No, but as a current non-pirate, seeing the UX of some of the newer tools is mindblowing. “You mean, I just type in any show, it looks it up and to find episode info, then gets me the episodes so I can watch it, without me having to split between services or even THINK?”
The legal show world should have that, but every one of those services are locked-down so you can’t have a solution like that in front of them. Heaven forbid we could just license shows like retail locations license radio.
quickly appreciating assets preferably purchased from other losers when they lose their asses and collect monthly rent too.
I wouldn’t say quickly appreciating, though. It’s a fairly slow growth rate for someone with that kind of money. They diversify into real estate because it creates some tax protections (your costs) and it’s fairly stable. Like buying into a terrible small business, but one that magically won’t fail. The things that could cause total loss to real estate are usually handled in standard insurance, unlike a business that can just tank.
The thing is, as you and the other person said, it’s all about the big companies who own tons of real estate AND the big companies that manage rental properties.

Don't be fooled Billy, it's not really a job, more of a parasitic relationship (lemmy.world)
