"Hurry! We no longer innovate because we don't have to, and subscribers are beginning to notice. Let's reduce competition and stymie innovation more, right? RIGHT?!? What if we also increase rates?"
Let them merge into whatever they want. They all clearly forgot books exist and we can all go back to reading and not spending money on Their trash media. 🤷♂️
mainstream outlets can't seem to admit the federal regulatory apparatus has been gutted as our fake innovators run out of runway they'll revert to even greater consolidation, meaning tech, telecom, media will all merge and create even bigger, shittier giants Who's going to stop them, Brendan Carr?
I can understand how they become bigger. Still trying to work out how they become shittier!!!

Our society in the US is the most war-mongering society in human history, both literally and figuratively. We have had about two decades in 250 years where we weren't "defending freedom" by killing people somewhere. And we will declare war on pretty much anything...drugs, the homeless, terror etc.
🔥🖕🏾🔥
I think we will all be at war soon enough
Mind you, I am a filmmaker, but... streaming just keeps killing my love of cinema.🤷🏾♀️ And that's not even getting into all the other issues with Hollywood and mainstream social media. I'm all for watching Theater/Opera/Ballet and reading books 📚 🎭
I don't watch any of that 🤬🤷🏾♀️ I miss purchasing 3 books and knowing that I was going to be sufficiently entertained and at peace during downtime for the next 3 months.

It seems everyone has their price.
@karlbode.com piracy is soon going to be the only ethical option.
BOYCOTT the enemy even if that means switching off your TV or cell
No, this should be about them stealing their art and not paying them for it
First your apps are not quite right. Then that show disappears… It is a loudly quiet transition. #Oligopoly
I love mega monopolies going to war over our attention.
Constant, never-ending growth is a fool's errand. We are seeing exactly why as everything, particularly our country, is stripped for parts by billionaires and vultures. Oh, sorry, same thing.
Fvck these monopolies. I hope that the next Dem president will impose fines & dismantle these exploitative companies that take advantage of consumers. 😷
I can only imagine how absolutely dehumanizing a drama produced by Meta would be. NO THANKS.
It puts the Actor's on the spot....to Fight for Democracy!
Someone needs to bring back Blockbuster. People are getting tired of shitty shows/movies and prices being hiked every few months.
Delivery. Whether by ship, plane plane, train, wires or fiber can be commoditized. Commodization means pricing at the marginal cost (if governments properly regulate monopolies.) Value added by new thoughts, ideas, and creative content. Cannot be commoditized and will always win in the end.
Oh man can't wait for "avengers ai generated slop brought to you by Disney and Microsoft" the years most exciting experience 🙄
I don't hear very many Democrats promising a vigorous revival of antitrust and a breakup of these ever larger corporate conglomerate groups. The collapse of antitrust has often been a bipartisan collaboration over the past 30 years. Corporate money talks.
Capital literally eating itself.
How is Apple “meddling with content”? They’re a streaming content provider via AppleTV & Apple Music.
This be the way *Mandalorian sting*
Karl I read your stuff sometimes and none of it Bodes well.
By 'war', I'm thinking they are talking about the campaign to screw over the consumer faster and more expensively for that consumer!
The Enshittification will continue until everything is Enshittified. They live in fear of The Great Flush.
Crapification conquers all!
In our current system rich men gather together to figure out how to extract even more wealth from everyone not rich. Anyone who objects to this is a filthy communist.
We gotta stop treating capitalists like people, man.
Content driven enshittification marches on.
