Why do people keep comparing it to the loss-making Netflix too? And how can you make it subscription-only when it is delivered by free-to-air methods? How many people own TVs and set-top boxes that have no provision for CAM modules? What becomes of the so-called "Crown Jewels" programmes?<br /><br />https://www.forbes.com/sites/greatspeculations/2019/08/20/all-the-reasons-why-netflix-is-doomed/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-49047633470639667012020-02-16T17:34:12.199+00:002020-02-16T17:34:12.199+00:00I know that being on the left I should be above th...I know that being on the left I should be above this... and its very rude to talk ill of some ones looks,but the way Shipman writes and tweets I thought he'd be a lot younger, a typical "alt-reich culture warrior"; but no it turns out he's just a fat old bloke, who probably looked 40 when he was still at junior school, and is well past his prime. Were he not in the press, I'm sure he'd have been pensioned off by now. Shame the same employment rules don't apply to the press as it seems the older you get the closer they get to writing that perhaps mass sterilisation of undesirables, as defined by themselves, was not such a bad idea after all (although, lets be honest, most of the press think that even if they don't write it out in longhand very often).Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346534836211090678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-40673520035398985192020-02-16T16:36:34.533+00:002020-02-16T16:36:34.533+00:00Tim's appeal seems to have stalled at what is ...Tim's appeal seems to have stalled at what is only a third of what it needs to be. <br /><br />The service he provides is fantastic and he doesn't need something like this hanging over him.<br /><br />Let's dig deep, spread the word and Get Legalballs Done, before Putin and Cummings step in and make him an offer he can't refuse.Burlington Bertie from Bownoreply@blogger.com
