I paid for Netflix, cancelled it and got Disney+ instead when they cracked down on password sharing. I am more than happy to end my subscription to Disney and go full pirate, I don't care and I live in Canada so I'll never face repercussions.

I'd love to support the creatives but seeing all these strikes it's not like the execs are paying them livable wages anyways. They complain about not making enough money on streaming then vote to increase just the executives pay by insane margins annually, I can see through your deception execs.

The insane greed is something I simply can't comprehend. Isn't there a point at which it's enough? It seems almost like a mental illness.

I don't know where all of this is going, but it can't be anywhere good, and I'm sure it will be violent. I seem to be in the minority, but I absolutely believe there is a point where a person has enough wealth and doesn't, perhaps even shouldn't, have more.

It truly is a cancer on society. It's not like I want to abolish capitalism, I'm no tankie, but when does the greed stop? There's a reasonable limit somewhere, but apparently in the minds of the corporate overlords:
