Corporations: hey guys, let’s unionize so the government doesn’t exploit us.
Employees: hey, can we als…
Corporations: NO.
Can’t wait for this bullshit to get denied because writers/actors are already striking.
Well it’s not employees want the corporations to have unionized, but they just have less power to do anything about it
I didn’t say the employees wanted corporations to unionize or not. The joke was corporations interrupting employees asking if they can also unionize.
I didn’t imply you wanted it
Welcome back to the high seas mateys!

The streaming market is splintered to max and oversaturated by content. The bubble already burst and now people are cordcutting again or fleeing to independent content. Absolutely nobody wants ads back and all companies do is push them on users for ever more revenue. The model only worked because it wasn’t as inconvenient and full of ads as traditional paytv/cable.
So now we’ve gone full circle and back to lobbies who at some point will undoubtedly create streaming-packages that will include a certain set of partenered services. Can’t wait for the +1000€ per year -T-mobile-package-plan! Apart from Spotify who have kept their “affordable music streaming for 9.99€” promise over the last 10 years…the motion picture models have just become more expensive and user-unfriendly!
My parents are paying for YouTube TV through their T-Mobile subscription 🤦♂️
streamers are currently being forced to reckon with their profitability — or lack thereof.
Netflix’s 2023 2nd quarter revenue: 8.1 billion dollars BTW
Brace yourself for a tidal wave of corporate apologists rushing to point out that “revenue isn’t profit!,!”
Anybody can look these numbers up. I’m not sitting on some secret Bloomberg terminal LOL
Then why only mention revenue?
I didn’t realize people can’t do a 10 second google search on their own. 🙄
Net income isn’t the whole story anyways, especially when this article points out that one of their costs is lobbying for a cause that isn’t necessary. They’re raking in billions of dollars every year.
“just Google it, bro” is never a source.
Not my fault you aren’t capable of typing 4 words into a search engine.
It’s not a ‘source’, bud.
🙄
That’s cool, I’ve kicked them all to the curb over the past two years.
