that youre the king of a desert people and just aided the king of a foreign land win a civil war. you just made an alliance and your desert now flies its banner alongside the lush vibrant kingdom you just befriended. They can provide aid to your people who are struggling to survive. The neighbor kings daughter doesnt trust you because she had some nightmares but shes a kid. THEN some kid who smells like hes never washed in the 12 years hes lived and is wearing ratty clothes and has spiders in his hair, I mean he looks like he lived his life feral in the forest and only just walked out. he claims to be a kid from the future and that you take over the world. Whatever. Just another kid parroting what his parents probably told him about your desert people and letting his imagination run wild. except suddenly hes got some ancient artifact that the king you just made an alliance with has sworn to protect. This kid comes in with a stolen artifact and claims that youre the one who wanted to take it. And the king is like treatys over. Then you gotta fight a 12 year long war with them because the king would rather believe some kid than the person who fought alongside him during the civil war. and the worst part is that the king makes this feral child a knight. the fuck is up with that?
if i was like “every time i cut steak into a different shape there’s a brand new word for it” everyone else would be like “no that’s stupid”. but we let pasta get away with anything.
i read the article on netflix that was like “we lost 2.6 billion dollars last year because of people sharing their password :’(((”
so lets see. netflix apparently has 139,260,000 accounts, with each and every one of those accounts paying anywhere from $13 to $16 a month, which means each account is generating about $156 to $192 every year, which all adds up to, unless i messed up my math, $21,724,560,000 generated every year. Twenty one billion dollars, at least.
so fuck you and fuck your crocodile tears lmao. you’re never going to make any of your bad decisions this seem justified.
You know what I’m still annoyed with this because no, Netflix, you did not lose a single fucking penny. You did not lose money from people sharing their accounts, they did not physically take the money from you. Your profits did not go down, they just didn’t rise as much as you wanted them to, and you consider that a catastrophic loss of billions of dollars. Fuck off.
Also there’s an assumption there that people who are password sharing would automatically pay for their own account if the measures suggested came into effect and worked and I promise you most people would just… go without at best and at worst actually start pirating again.
Also, like. Netflix has multiple profiles per account. They’ve practically got “password sharing” built into their system. Imagine if any other company started complaining that they were ‘losing money’ because people use their product as intended.
