So we all cut the cord to get away from restrictive, over-priced packages riddled with ads so we can end up with restrictive, over-priced packages riddled with ads. Say hello to the new boss, I guess
I mention this and someone always complains that that Game of Mad Men is Breaking the New Black isn't at the library. Which gets me thinking that the real boss might be our own consumerism.
But the idea that just because some crappy knock-offs and overdone franchises exist, every piece of entertainment media is just interchangeable with every other one, and no one should ever be upset that they can't easily access the specific piece of media they want to see, is just absurd on the face of it.
It took me a few years to realize this, but cancelling your cable subscription only to spend just as much time staring at the same television mindlessly 'consuming content' on netflix or prime is fundamentally the same lifestyle.
