Funny. Oddly enough, I did, too. Before I commented. No statistics, numbers, etc. Even just checked again. A bunch of articles with no numbers. Even if it is true, it's not like the stockpile of already-made products is going to get ripped apart to satisfy manufacturing demand.

Citations with verifiable statistics, please.

That is way more than slightly higher than most places near me in the midwest.

It must be a slow day when the release of a new product iteration that knocks its predecessor off the shelves is considered news.

Sorry, but why is this obvious? Just redundant text or is there another reason?

The real question is what freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of press all mean in the virtual world. I don't agree with what was said, and I certainly don't agree with any form of censorship regarding speech. I really would like to see some of these cases make their way up to the supreme court to reaffirm some of the rights which have been diluted over the past 4-5 decades.

I swear, everybody wants a piece of the streaming pie, but, AGAIN, they have NO CLUE what consumers want (or they just don't care - in which case, fuck them all). They had a much better chance bundling under Amazon Prime, Netflix, or Hulu, and that way consumers still had a better option than premium cable.

I will NOT pay for a streaming service for every channel or studio that broadcasts 1-2 things I watch. That being said, goodbye Disney. You can join the ranks of all the other morons in media I've disowned (HBO, Showtime, CBS, etc).

Cheers.

Technical difficulty will far outweigh the bureaucratic difficulty.
