Just adding, that, outside of Rowling, who I believe has a different contract than most authors due to the expanded Wizarding World and Pottermore, most authors themselves cannot quote their own novels online because that would be publishing part of the novel digitally and that’s a right they’ve sold to their publisher. The publisher usually ignores this as it creates hype for the work, but authors are careful not to abuse it.
I can still pick and choose my streaming. If I don’t want Netflix I can cancel it, I don’t have to keep it just so I can also watch Hulu.
Yes, if you get everything, it’s about the same or more than cable.
Depends on the company. Verizon usually considers it’s a “free” feature, but there was a time when it was extremely limited and they’d charge you.
I’ll downvote propagation of memes I don’t like.
I participate in discussion, but I rarely start threads.
What else would be call them? Comms? We’re not writing out “communities”. We’re way too lazy for that.
Except that’s not always what’s happening. A couple subs I’m in have voted to reopen, when they’ve had the ability to vote at all (since it’s hard to vote when the subreddit is locked).
One voted to reopen and the mods removed the poll and are pretending it went their way despite some people having screenshots of the poll.
But it’s also improved music in general. It used to be possible for an artist to make one or two good tracks for radio play and then create subpar filler for the rest of the album, but now all of the tracks of the album are sold separately so every track has to be of equal quality. Additionally you aren’t bound to just the one song played on the radio when looking for new artists.
