Cable déjà vu? Look who's bundling services (and what it's going to cost you) https://www.zdnet.com/home-and-office/home-entertainment/cable-packaging-comes-to-streaming/ by @sjvn

These new bundles will save you money in the short run. In the long run, however, we're looking at the rebirth of cable TV with its high prices.

@sjvn So long as Fox or its ilk aren't in the bundle I can handle it

@sjvn If it's being bundled somewhere, I'm not buying that bundle. We have power if we use it with streaming. Much more than we had with cable.

Small wonder we're moving toward fascism with so much wealth and power in the hands of heirs rather than people who have worked.

David Zaslav is the guy who started cutting content and killing films to "save money" and bolster the APPEARANCE of WBD's stock price. Seems his tactics were exactly what we expected, a short term gimmick, good for a single fiscal quarter, and disastrous in the long term.
He will absolutely earn MILLIONS from this terrible performance as CEO. There need to be more significant consequences for millionaire CEOs running companies into the ground.
There are jobs and livelihoods at stake.

@SomeGadgetGuy Zaslav bought $T debt and is trying to work it off on your back. For his benefit. Never forget that.

    Well, damn. I’ve got a cold of some kind (so far not testing positive for COVID), so we had to cancel out of a lovely dinner invite for NYE. I feel mildly ill, but definitely have something—can’t risk being a vector for others with everything circulating.

    If you're going to provide low-cost anything, you need to be scaled. Otherwise only wealthy people can afford your goods.

    Imagine you hear that there’s a lawmaker in, say, the Middle East

    That person hears the voice of God

    He’s told to make laws against the LGBTQ+ members of the community

    Take rights from women

    Stop social services for the poor

    The voice tells him to do things and he listens—thinking he’s the chosen one

    You’d think this was describing a dangerous theocracy fueled by mental illness

    This toot is amount Speaker Mike Johnson
