    I know it never went away, but I expect piracy to have a major resurgence as these services all get less and less consumer friendly.

      Yeah, but I expect the studios to be a lot harsher with takedowns now that there isn’t a backup revenue stream to fund content.

      I also expect stream hopping to be a bigger thing since Google and Apple make it easy to cancel streaming services through them so that you can go between the different streaming services.

    What a weird way to phrase it. I mean wouldn’t a headline like “Peacock raises prices after less than 3 years” be more accurate? I know inflation has been off the charts but, there is no way subscription services raising prices every couple of years is going to be sustainable. (It already isn’t)

    I’m fairly certain I get Peacock free with my Internet subscription. I haven’t even bothered to make an account. Do they actually have any interesting content, besides older shows that used to stream on other services but are now exclusive to Peacock?

      It’s not available in my country but some of those older shows have new content not previously available, which honestly is one reason why I want to get it if it’s ever available.
