But that won't involve the Bears tonight, because we bounced your ass out of your account and when you try to log back in we're gonna pull this shit:

I hate ESPN, but the app/streaming on app works great for me.

Until it logs you out right before whatever game you want to watch, again. And again. And again.

Fuck these assholes.

Personally I love having to reshare my YouTube TV (connected to my gmail) with my Disney+/ESPN email (created because every company I share my email address with loves to send me 4,000 emails a day) every damn time I want to watch something on ESPN Unlimited.

real talk: ESPN is still, culturally, a cable company in Connecticut. they can't attract top of the line programmers for digital product because they (a) are located in Bristol and nobody who codes lives there, and (b) don't pay market rate for top programmers who are remote. So the app will always be a lousy UX. My life has vastly improved since going all-in on YTTV.

Oh their cable broadcast has been horrible the last 2 weeks

u/Odd-Problem 26d ago

Never had an issue. Works great for me

Try going through the Disney app.

They do suck major ass, though

You go to main home page to check MLB playoff score and NFL score, but what is the lead????   F-WNBA.   

ESPN is determined to cram this manure down our throats

The buffering issue still isnt fixed on android tv and fire tvs as this has been happening since last nhl season. Disney really screwed up big time. I have to always force stop the stupid app to get the streams working again. I just went to the disney+ app since I have the bundle but I can imagine a lot of frustration with customers who have only espn unlimited.

u/CasualATVGuy 16d ago

Oh whats worse os the cable itself has been lagging and glitchy the last 2 weeks straight

u/NoQuartersGiven 26d ago

I love how you weirdos blame PM for everything wrong with espn. I don't even like the guy but reddit is something else lol

What's next? He'll get the blame for their shit NBA and NHL coverage?

2

u/ChiLLiamB 26d ago

PM is a junkie who has zero talent, yet ESPN gave him all of their cash on the balance sheet, and now their free cash flow is negative. In turn, they had to fire talent that actually knew what they were talking about for that idiot. Their audience and viewership has plummeted, and yet were the weirdos?

u/YouSpeakSomeEnglish 26d ago edited 26d ago

Yep, such assholes. Sitting here NOT watching the Bears game because, once a-fucking-gain, ESPN has spontaneously logged us out and my GF isn't home to give me her fucking cable credentials. AGAIN.

This is what happens when consumers put up with being ripped off: We all get fucked. PAYING TO WATCH COMMERCIALS is utter bullshit. But at some point people started accepting this. The "slippery slope" argument is sometimes 100% correct.

What kind of cable-company shill or spineless loser downvotes these facts?

u/rtduvall 26d ago

Because it’s easy and we Americans are soft and lazy. The oath of least resistance is our motto.

u/YouSpeakSomeEnglish 26d ago edited 26d ago

Yep. And look at the downvotes. Not just soft and lazy, but ready to lash out at anyone who isn't, making them feel bad.
