Comment on Commercials Are Streaming’s New Norm, and Creators Aren’t Happy: “It’s Almost Worse Than Broadcast”
realcaseyrollins@narwhal.city 8 months agoI never did in the first place. This is 50% the fault of corporate greed and 50% the fault of a business model that isn't designed to reap funds in the same way that both broadcast and cable television did.
Anyone who thought that these companies would dig into their existing income and margins, especially when these streaming platforms were already mostly in the red, rather than find an income stream that more linearly aligned with the residuals they now must pay was optimistically naive.

Yes, you did. YOU brought up the cost of the SAG-AFTRA and WGA deals in an attempt to justify the need for commercial plans. There’s literally no other reason for you to have mentioned it at all. So stop this poor attempt at gaslighting. Nobody here is as stupid as you seem to think we are.

At this point I'm starting to think you just don't understand revenue streams and business models so discussing this with you further doesn't sound like something that will be productive, unfortunately.

This from the guy who can’t remember what he wrote, nor can he scroll up.
You fell off the high horse a ways back. Pay attention.

This isn’t my first run in with that person, they never argue in good-faith. And when they’re not doing that they’re pushing far right, racist and misogynistic, culture war nonsense in this community. Frankly, they should’ve been shown the door ages ago.
