And just like the good ol days, pirating is back in fashion.

What is that Hulu you are talking about, we never got that in Mexico (nor Pandora now that I am talking about it).

In this day and age where everyone wants its piece of the cake it is weird to me that they never cared about more countries xd.

It may have been more difficult and expensive than you’d expect. My understanding was distribution contracts tend to be per country. Netflix can’t just stream all the stuff from north of the border, but have to start over with buying rights to everything in a new country

This made more sense when distributors were all per country but not so much for streamers

Another streaming service that started around the same time as Netflix's. More focused on TV shows and now owned by Disney.

If you don't watch it it looks like nothing.

Broken-English speaking Asians. I'm one of them. No go on and fuck your fat white bitch. The racist mods here will ban me soon for calling ya'll out. Ruud is a racist too. Fuck him and his Nazi gang.

It's not for nothing that Lemmy.World defederates from the non-racist instances. Ever thought about that?

MUuuhhaaaaa. I worked for a cable company for a little over a decade. I remember commenting when people everywhere were talking about its death that streaming would soon be just like cable. They called me a fool. MUuuhhaaaaa!
