Thanks, Dan.

Pretty sure nobody has claimed it's not stealing? :shrug:

But then you'd have to pretend...
- The bakery makes billions dollars per year
- You have to watch commercials while you're eating the cinnamon roll. You can pick it up to go, but if you dine-in, you have to pay $50 for parking (which goes up annually) and hundreds of dollars to sit in the bakery. Beer is also $20 and it's the really cheap shit. You can however hang out in the parking lot for as long as you want and eat your own food beforehand.
- The bakery could just offer everything on the menu at a fair price, but you actually have to go to one specific store in town to order off the full menu at premium prices... and you literally have to order everything on the menu at that store.
-- And then at a second store, they'll have one or two items per week that you can order, but you have to pay an annual membership that's not related to the full menu store.
-- And then at a 3rd store, they have another menu item once per week, which is usually terrible, but sometimes you'll want to check out; but you'll need another annual membership.
-- And then there's a pop-up food truck that comes by every once in a while that generally has great menu items that you'll definitely want to buy. You have to buy a cheaper monthly membership to the food truck, even though they'll only show up once in a month.

...and at the end of the day, you're really just looking for the middle of one specific cinnamon roll, which sporadically rotates around 3 different memberships; and then rarely another menu item or two that could be on any given membership.
...however, given all the hassle, sometimes these menu items become available through other means, free in a dark alley. You still pay for the middle of the one specific cinnamon roll with multiple annual memberships so you don't miss anything, but sometimes another one comes along that's just not worth everything combined.



I know, tl;dr.... nuance is a bitch.

Jesus would also bring Jaylen Watson back and have Trent McDuffie sign a team-friendly deal.

No costs are getting passed on. Their product distribution costs are fixed and my consumption doesn't cause them any extra work or product consumption. Also, I wouldn't have bought Sunday Ticket anyway so it's not like they lost me as a customer. If it wasn't there as a free stream then I just wouldn't have watched.


They could easily make money off me if they offered a way to buy single games. I would gladly pay a reasonable price to watch a reliable stream of my favorite team's game - but they won't offer that for whatever reason.

If ESPN+ was an add on to YouTube TV, I would add it. No, I'm not going to sign up for your separate ESPN package, but at least I didn't have to watch WV beat KU, so there's that.

I dislike commercials as much as anyone, but if we didn't have commercials, would it change the game? They do a lot of TV timeouts that give the players a breather. Also, football naturally has breaks in the action, such as after kickoffs and punts or during official reviews, so if there were no commercials what would be on the TV during that time?

Jesus saves. Thus, I imagine him to be focused on soccer vs football. I suspect his coach puts him in the net.
