Yep. Disney+ (for now).
Netflix, HBO, and Hulu gradually cancelled over the last few years.
What’s stupid of them is that if they’d stayed around $8-10/mo each (ad-free), I probably would have stayed subscribed forever. Now they each get nothing.

GIF was ancient in the YTMND.com days. And nowadays, YTMND is like two decades old. Back when my life had hope.
I’d complain, except it hasn’t gone up in a decade.
Prices needs to go up a little bit every year to reflect CPI and inflation.
Raised devout Mormon/LDS. 9/11 reaffirmed political conservativism. Church assigned me to be a missionary (age 19-21) in Portland, Oregon where I found liberals treated me with better respect than conservative christinans.
In 2006, my house rep said something royally stupid, so I voted for his Democratic rival. And like Pringles, once you pop you can’t stop.
Today I’m a fiery but loyal moderate democrat.
The guy is straight up insane. He’s obsessed with the letter X.
But I don’t care. X is the symbol of death eyes on a smiley. Guess the bird is dead.
Former RiFfer here on Connect.
Gives me similar vibes.
It doesnt have to be centralized. Just allow power users a function in their Lemmy app of choice to “group” similar communities into one mega community per topic.
Like a frontpage, but just for ONE topic.
And then we could share lists with each other or something.
RiF fanatic here. Neither mirrors directly. But Jerboa wasn’t bad. And I find I like Connect the best.
I was all for “giving it a shot” just to see what the hub bub was about.
Other lemmings point out just how many permissions I have to give Meta. So, I’ve lost interest. Never was a big tweeter anyway.

It’s the difference between a mom and pop restaurant and McDonald’s.
We don’t need everybody to go to the mom and pop restaurant. Just enough of us to keep it afloat.
Elon Musk does fascist things.
But that doesn’t mean every bad thing Elon Musk does is fascist. Sometimes it’s just greedy. Or stupid.
I mean, I went from Facebook to Reddit to Lemmy.
Seems like a good trajectory.
Next step is heading back to old “General Talk” sections of random message boards like it’s 2003. Is the Massassi Temple Forum (Jedi Knight game) still around?
That was my reaction when Elon first bought twitter. It’s like he’s so stupid he thinks Twitter is the only possible platform that could ever be a twitter.
It turns out, we’re all pretty clever at figuring out places to talk. The talking is going to happen. Where we do the talking keeps changing.
I feel like Aaron Swartz exiting and later dying played a role. There was no longer his voice to check bad business behavior.
Before the pandemic, the US wasn’t too bad. Large cities got expensive, but most places a movie ticket ran around $10.
Now, to make up for lost money, some chains are trying to charge extra for getting “a good seat” or other perks that used to be just part of the price of the ticket.
I think they overestimate demand. I haven’t been to a movie since 2019. I don’t think I’m missing out. Home TVs are just so big now.
Don’t forget the “Jesus fish” on their logo.
I’m from out west, so it was a very foreign concept for me when I visited my sister in Arkansas and saw a lot of “Christian Family Auto” type places with Jesus swag trying to win over business.

To be fair, I was quoting a famous line from the show Arrested Development.
Wait until they see “Smoke Hub” in Bakersfield, CA.
It’s literally the porn hub logo.
