Move countries then.
The process to qualify for a work visa is easier said than done.
The logistics of a league organized by a video game's publisher are one thing. The logistics of an independent league would be something else entirely. Let's compare with physical sports:
The difference is that in e-sports, nobody else can run a league because a video game's copyright owner has legal power to suppress live streams of the game.
Anyone that gets a Netflix subscription already had internet & on the outside chance someone fell into the 'I got internet for Netflix' category, The internet can be used for a darn sight more than cable TV can be used for.
There's a difference between having an Internet connection at all and having an Internet connection sufficient for sustained Netflix use. A lot of Internet providers, especially satellite and cellular, impose data transfer quotas of 5 to 10 GB per month.
Nowadays how many Americans have no Internet service?
That depends on whether having only cellular Internet counts as having Internet.
Netflix would answer thus: "Show older shows so you don't have to pay as much in royalties."
It's still a chicken-and-egg question. How does the link-local nameserver in customer-owned equipment configure itself?
After all, netflix manages to offer ad-free stuff for $8/month, same as Hulu+.
It also gets the ad-free stuff months or years later (except for its own productions), when licensors are willing to license the works at a rate acceptable to Netflix.
If you want to see Netflix's shows, you have to sign up, but it's not nearly as expensive as a cable package + HBO.
Likewise, if you currently subscribe to only cable TV and not wired Internet, Netflix is expensive because you have to add cable Internet to your package.
people who have no interest in running a server
Are they just unaware of what advantages running a home server can offer? Or have the benefits of a server been explained to them after which they still decline?
Rural people either don't rely on the Internet as such as urban folk [...] An optical disc with one single movie on it seems extremely antiquated and inefficient these days.
This doesn't make sense. Without "rely[ing] on the Internet", how do you watch movies other than "[a]n optical disc with one single movie on it"?
We don't have the needs to root for a team or other such pointless ritual to reinforce social identity.
We don't, but a lot of us live with people who do.
I can't imagine watching news when I can read so much faster and from so many more sources.
Can you read a wide variety of sources while doing other housework? Because that's what my roommate ends up doing. She plugs cordless headphones into the TV's audio out, puts on MSNBC or C-SPAN, and listens to the talking heads while doing housework in another room.
<APK>Yeah, but it works in user mode so it's probably slow as shit. Hosts files work in kernel mode, making them inherently faster to process with fewer context switches.</APK>
But seriously, thank you for the recommendation. Do you know whether it uses an algorithm suited for efficient processing of multi-megabyte hosts files?
Is "Trouble Man" by Marvin Gaye in the same way that "Blurred Lines" is by Marvin Gaye?
the only TV I watch anymore is Netflix and Amazon.
That's fine for people who don't watch live political news (CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, C-SPAN) or live sports. Because the leagues still sell exclusive rights to particular matches to traditional TV networks, the leagues' streaming subscription services black out any match shown on broadcast, cable, or satellite TV in your area
