In this increasingly splintered, siloed and subscripted media landscape, which platforms get your entertainment eyeballs and $$$?
What platforms are your fave shows on
Where do you watch Eels games? Do you pay? How much and for what?
How about TV shows. Does anyone stick to, or even watch, free to air?
I haven't watched free to air for a decade, and I have never paid a sub, nor does my family, yet we watch whatever we want whenever we want. Does anyone else here do this or are we all loyal subscribers?

I only watch on Foxtel I have a Foxtel Internet and telephone bundle. I don't mind paying but I don't watch 80% of the channels on Foxtel I just like sport, movies and Judge Judy
I really mind paying Slugg. Seems to me that between Govt, fuel, power and the ubiquitos algorithm, the loose cash in society is being hoovered up at an increasing rate. AI will perfect this system and tune itself to empty your individual pockets.
I'm with you Randy. Peer2Peer sharing was annihilating the market back in the day. The way free to air TV was drip feeding the Aussie public their content lead to that. Now that streaming has taken over, due to same day release as in the US, P2P became less relevant.
I find that the steaming is now taking the piss with all the different paid platforms required, P2P will become more widely used again.
Totally taking the piss Acme, they have turned a good idea into a stupid game with stupid prizes.
I never stopped p2p, as once everyone pissed off, it got way better.
1337x.to is my goto now for new release anything. Funnily enough, if THEY hit me for a small payment, I prob would do it as my usage and their service justifies it
I use the same site. I know what you mean about happily paying for that service, although it kinda defeats the purpose. All those sites are a little bit too dicey to be handing any money over to :)
yeah...more of an aspirational "would pay for it".
no way in hell.
I can't walk without my walker and when I go out, I use a wheelchair, I'm longer able to drive so most of my time is spent watching TV. It's not an ideal situation but as they say, worse things happen at sea
Sluggo, I am laid up with a bad back today, so i empathise with your immobility. It is frustrating even short term, and I am just laying here smashing herb and shitposting
Watch any sport free inc Rugby League use a VPN and a browser like Brave Browser which blocks all ads automatically.... https://www.viprow.nu/ Any movie you want here the same way as above... https://myflixerz.nl/home Thank me later .... cheers!
Love your work Sterling. I don't bother with a vpn these days, except for uploads.Firefox with privacy addons and https://fbstreams.pm/ work great for me
