It’s awesome to see some the top 5% of earners jump to the picket lines as well to support everyone. They could easily sit back and say it doesn’t affect them as much because they’re in demand and have enough money, but they’re jumping right in so their co stars get what they deserve too
What a weird way to phrase it. I mean wouldn't a headline like "Peacock raises prices after less than 3 years" be more accurate? I know inflation has been off the charts but, there is no way subscription services raising prices every couple of years is going to be sustainable. (It already isn't)
I'm fairly certain I get Peacock free with my Internet subscription. I haven't even bothered to make an account. Do they actually have any interesting content, besides older shows that used to stream on other services but are now exclusive to Peacock?
It’s not available in my country but some of those older shows have new content not previously available, which honestly is one reason why I want to get it if it’s ever available.
If you like the office they have the superfan episodes which I’ve really enjoyed. Other than that they try to make new content but it hasn’t really drawn my attention other than Cocaine Bear and the Twisted Metal moving coming in a littler over a week. It’s not great but if you get it for a month and watch everything you want I’m sure your $12 will be well spent.
I like to watch INDYCAR racing and the only place to see practices and qualifications is Peacock. I got it for free from my Xfinity internet but they stopped giving that for free here just recently.
My cousin is a lobbyist (the shitty insurance kind) and it’s difficult conversing with someone who literally sells out the rest of us in the name of capitalism. I can’t imagine how difficult it would be to have a kid on the opposite side of the political spectrum doing a job you feel is dishonest and hoping they do the right thing.
Install uBlock Origin on PC/phone and you have no ads, for free.
For TVs and Android boxes there's SmartTubeNext (also free), an alternative YouTube front-end with no ads and a lot of cool features you'd only dream of on the standard ad-filled app.
Also, Google provides the distribution for me to watch the videos. There isn’t a case around where the distribution chain isn’t compensated for delivering the product some how.
Yeah, but I expect the studios to be a lot harsher with takedowns now that there isn’t a backup revenue stream to fund content.
I also expect stream hopping to be a bigger thing since Google and Apple make it easy to cancel streaming services through them so that you can go between the different streaming services.
The comments under the article are so out of touch. SAG’s announcement Makes perfect sense, why would a guild allow you in their ranks when you scab and cross their picket lines? They’re reasonable to accommodate for already signed contracts, but making moves against SAG and expecting them to trust you’ll hold their ranks in the future if they let you in…not how labor unions survive. Especially when shit hits the fan like in a strike
The only people who bother to comment on sites like Deadline I’d say are out of touch, specifically older people. Older people, who throughout their life, have been fed the narrative that unions are big leeches that only want your precious dues money and serve no purpose other than to hurt you, which they just eat up straight from their corporate boss’ mouths
Disney has set a Disney+ global premiere date for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 of Aug. 2, that’s 90 days after the pic’s theatrical release of May 5.
This actually seems to be an OK thing in my book. They files the paperwork and got an exemption from the guilds. There are real reasons to have nuanced discussions as a part of a broader strike. Note that I personally suffer from these strikes, but support them nonetheless.
