Let’s sing the song of our people!
YAR HAR FIDDLE DE DEE!!
If streaming shitty shows doesn’t work out, they could always change the spelling to “Pee Cock” and do porn instead.
People actually subscribe to Peacock on purpose?
Olympics are all that I can think of
They are hoping to get enough people to forget about their subscription during this hike.
They even admitted most of the new subscribers were from Olympics and third party signups like Xfinity, T-Mobile, etc that give subscriptions out for free.
This is why I use masked cards to sign up for these services. I lock them in at a certain price per month, and if that price goes up on its own, then they’ll suddenly discover they don’t have my money.
Not that it should require a hack like that, mind you…
How do you do masked cards where you can control the regular charge amount? Is that a particular bank’s feature or?
Privacy.com’s cards offer that feature (allegory the original selling point for me was that I could use them alongside any name/address). It’s helped me cut down on attempted fraud a couple times too.
I think it’s technically a payment processor, but functionally it’s more like a proxy between a bank and online shops/services
they started shilling alot of house reruns, svu content at the beginning of the pandemic
Yeah, exactly! This should serve no purpose other than reminding people to cancel their subscription from the Olympics or last season’s NFL playoffs.
TBH, I was shocked to find out that it’s already higher than $8 a month. Absolutely laughable prices here.
They have premier league games
Ah, of course, sportsball.
Damn how will I be able to afford to pirate the one, maybe two decent series the entire media empire manages to produce?
I’m pretty sure people only sub for live events. Back in the day the only reason I had it was to watch WWE PLEs.
There are ways
I haven’t found any great ones, but they exist
Peacock still exists?
I have that bundled for free with a different service and can’t even use it, they are one of the few streaming services that go out of their way to block Linux users.
On the upside at least they let me know it’s unusable when free so there’s no reason to ever pay for it.
