    Weird statement to make considering we can cancel at any time. I did years ago.

    “Well, people are of course free to not use our service even after we gain a monopoly on all entertainment”.

    Personally I cancelled both of these services. Services just got worse and cost more, I can’t imagine a merger is going to make that situation any better. I have CBC and I kept Paramount because it was 50% off annually for black friday and I enjoy Star Trek. The rest I either find other means to watch or happily do without.

    I actually love the “watch free” channels on my TV. It’s full of obscure stuff like 1970s gameshows, This Old House episodes, random old weird direct-to-video movies.

    Weird to be on the same page as the CEO of Netflix. Today I’ll think on how you really never know how much you have in common with others.

      They are just like us, they are born, they die, they pay taxes…oh wait.

      Please do read that as sarcasm. These turdlike meat bags (I won’t call them human) just view others are numbers. ‘Enough squeezed humans/others/numbers’ means a bigger yacht and more bragging power at the country club.

      They need shaming at worst, dragging out in the street is better

        I can’t resist the humour inherent to the fact that they refuse to pay tax, and also desperately are seeking immortality. Death and taxes are the quintessential unavoidable things! They are tilting at a windmill, and they want to cast us as their Rozinante.
