Thay movie was awful. As a huge fan of the series, I don’t know how anyone can watch it and understand the plot without being familiar with it beforehand.
The BBC series is much better, and goes up to Book 3 iirc.
I started getting the dreaded anti-adblock pop-ups on Youtube when they started ramping up their efforts a month or so back, and I initially went through the whole rigamarole: First it was just the pop-up, then it was the pop-up with the timer, then the 3-video countdown finally leading to the video player being disabled...

If it’s anything like LibReddit, then public instances are slowly breaking due to the hgh API calls. Private ones seem to make a small enough amount that they go under their radar.
Apple. I wouldn’t use their products if they were free.
Roblox. As a parent, I’m not about to support a casino for kids. As a hobbyist game developer, I won’t support their exploitation of developers either.
Lotteries. Im not against gambling in general, but I sure am against emotional manipulation, and taking advantage of those who don’t understand math.

You can name the title, that’s fine. The only thing you can’t do here is openly share links to that content (it must be encoded with base64).
When it comes to old media, especially from the early 2000’s and earlier, I start with Archive.org and YouTube.
Like /u/Sharpiemaker suggested, your library would also be a good spot to check. If you have a reference library in your system they are a goldmine for that sort of thing.
Alternatively, you can pick up a cheap capture card and record the tape to your PC.

You have other options thankfully. If you’re in a large city, you can often find small independent retailers which sell tickets. When I lived in Toronto I used to go to a record shop to buy mine.
You can also go to the venue directly. Oftentimes if it’s a smaller venue they’ll have tickets available as well. Stadiums usually don’t go this route, but it’s worth a shot.
Lastly there are other online retailers for tickets like stubhub.com
Ticketmaster is a goddamn scam. The entire industry knows it, but it makes money for the labels so they tolerate it. There’s a reason Taylor Swift and The Cure have been making a big stink about them lately. I personally won’t go to a concert if Ticketmaster is the only retailer, but I’m fortunate that most bands I see play in smaller venues.
Because the series hasn’t done anything new since Saints Row 3. It’s just the same game over and over again, and even that was just a more polished version of Crackdown.
I’m looking for some small content creators who’s content has not been influenced by the potential of making money. In the early days of YouTube there was mostly trash, but then a few small channels started using formats, using specific styles and actually standing out above a pile shit....
