Wrong thread. This is the savings account interest thread. ;) I think I read an article about that issue with Netflix. Though, I agree that Prime seems oddly hard to find where the Prime stuff even is. But all of these services suffer from a difficulty with browsing content. Heck, Netflix could...

Man, I love the spin for making parole. :D Yeah, probably reword that a little to avoid that being "Exhibit B". ;)

I misspoke with Gen X, I meant the generations past Gen X. I feel my generation (tail end Gen X) was the last one that had things as they were. Kind of affordable college, jobs awaiting downstream, housing that was affordable enough. Post Gen X, the rules of the game changed quite a bit. I feel...

Yes, real estate, the stuff that has had three-ish booms in my adult lifetime (the first which led to a catastrophic economic collapse), but I was the benefactor of ridiculously low interest rates and buying before the first boom got too crazy. Gen X has to manage interest rates and inflated...

NO!!!! There is no fix. This is a change in distribution. It is already set in stone. Why do you think Ergen tried to shift Dish into a completely new direction starting several years ago? Younger people that grew up with Napster have a much different worldview on media than people who grew...

Detroit Grand Prix - Well, um... it was... well.. something. It was a race that was going well, with Colten Herta kicking absolute butt. Alex Palou was sent out on scrubbed alternates and that was quickly learned to be the suckiest idea. Kirkwood would be one of the only drivers to really do...

Larson gets Rookie of the Year in a mildly controversial decision. Dude was driving for Arrow McLaren, had Tony Kanaan as a driving coach. Did very well in practice and qualifying, making it to the Top Six. Led during the race during a pit cycle. But he made a couple mistakes, one that almost...

Meanwhile rain in Charlottecould make this Larson's longest day since the 24 hrs at Daytona.

Newgarden wins legitimately this time around. O'Ward so close. He'll be second guessing that for a long time. Disappointment with Herta, he appeared to have the car. Kirkwood came from who knows where to finish top ten. Veekay recovers from unsafe release penalty back to 23rd to finish top 10...

Hondaa are falling out like Menards.

Sounds like Larson is choosing Indy over the 600. Good choice.

4:44 PM green flag Hopefully it is a clean race. Light to what 7:30? Minus something crazy, this ends late this evening.

I"m thinking 3:30 to 4:30 for the start. Might be able to pull this off. Next wave of rain should be after visibility ends the race.

Well, we'll always have Monaco. What is insane is Kyle Larson is busy trying to prove he is a great race car driver and talks of rain are meaning he could pull out of the 500, to race in Charlotte. Yak! The weather forecast is getting grim for Sunday with some ingredients lining up for...

The 600 in Charlotte. Larson is looking to do the double. Only Tony Stewart has finished both, and did very well in them as well.

How would you even know they messed up the chains? Granted, spotting the ball is a pain. Should just go to the honor system. :D

Monaco... Indy... the 600? All in one day?! Well, maybe a couple. Indy is looking like it has a good shot at raining. While we wait for Sunday, here is an Indy moment. Indy Lights 2013. The last lap is a little easier to pull off with the smaller engines and slower speeds, but still that was...

You mean returning.

I venture to guess that 2029 is too far away to guess any of this. At that point, we might have just two competing streaming options Global Megacorp (Google's service) and Mega Global Corp (Disney's service) after all the merging is completed. We can safely assume the cable distribution is...

My question was asking about "programming churn" not subs. What is the sweet spot for Netflix regarding consistent content or the type of consistent content. A company like Disney+ has low churn due to them concentrating on their own material. Netflix is about showing mostly other people's work.

The question is going to be what is the consumer preferred programming churn on services like Netflix. Disney+ will have little to no churn, Netflix will have considerable churn. What is the legacy programming people will pay to keep as a comfort option? There will likely be some saturation...

Effectively season three went full circle and there was only a little bit of actual development among the kid.

Geeks, Veronica Mars, Homicide: Life on the Street, Firefly, some of the best TV ever, only one of those shows made it to the end. And none of them were wildly successful ratings wise. Television success is a double edged sword because people want something new they've seen before. And with...

People in Hollywood cost money. In general, hasn't television been on repeats since the 70s? They just keep changing the name of the show. You have: the hospital drama (St. Elsewhere -> ER -> Grey's Anatomy) the dead people drama (Quincy -> Bones) Self inclusive episode general premise drama...

It is bizarre that a discussiom on cable/sat sat numbers as a long term future trend can even become personal in the first place.
