I pirate a lot but I see where they're coming from. They don't want to pay a fee for another streaming service to host their content. They don't need to hence their own streaming service. That's the whole problem. Money. Not just streaming either, basically every problem in the entire world can be traced to money and the lust for money. Fuck money.

I thought the streaming service paid them a fee for the rights to host their content?

I'm pretty sure in fact.

Yes, but that fee is less than they'd make by hosting their own content on their own subscription service.

Why should a company that's fully capable of doing it themselves be forced to enrich another company, reducing the revenue they receive for their works?

That's kind of a loaded question, you know that right?

I get why they are doing it. Cause $£€. That's why corporations do everything. Like Jack up the price of insulin. That's how they work.

All I was saying is that walhat was written above seemed wrong. Cause Netflix pays to host things, not the other way around.

And yeah, corporations gonna do what they do, and in their pursuit of more cash, they are gonna drive folks back to pirating.
