Weren't you one of the ones who refused to boycott Peacock? I think there were several people here basically saying... well what can you do? If you were one of those people you have nobody to blame but yourself.

I don't care that they had a 30 day free subscription... I don't care if you actually already had Peacock. Everyone should have streamed that game from someplace like one of these sites and gave them no revenue from it.

And if they doubled down on it after that, continue to do it. If everyone would have stuck to their guns for a short while we wouldn't be dealing with the bullshit now. You reap what you sow.

Yup....

I tried to do it when I was in Europe on a vacation, and the fine print says that you can't watch the game from outside the country. This policy is why other countries hate America.

No playoff games on Peacock this year? Kinda surprised

Who is "everyone"?

Netflix had 50+ million viewers on Christmas day. An effective boycott is basically logistically impossible.

People are going to watch whether you want to or not. You have a choice to embrace this or stop watching football because it's not ever going back to like it was. It's only going to get worse from here.

Dude I'm disabled

I will die on this hill.

You're literally just being a narc bro, you'd be like the kid in class who ratted someone out for no reason.

I have reported you to the deep state

:shake:So to not do something is logistically impossible? :banghead:

And yes, obviously people are watching. The point was, people could have chose to not watched. It would have put an end to this. And now people are complaining about it.:shake:

His point is not enough people will care to do that.

Did you even read the second half of my statement?

IIRC, wasn't it Jimmy Raye who predicted this?

The people complaining are a small but vocal minority. The NFL is the most popular entertainment on the planet. The vast majority of NFL fans have zero problem with this. It's 2025, bro.

They've had one Peacock exclusive game and 2 Netflix games... we'd still be dealing with it.

I'm sure a ton of casual fans already don't watch games on these services if they don't already pay for that service... and I think that's the main issue with your theory.

27 million people watched the WC game on Peacock and only 3 million were new subscribers, and probably a huge chunk of that spent all of $5 or whatever it was and cancelled immediately.

I believe it was also already the lowest rated of WC weekend last year... would a few million less force them to shut it down already? I dunno, pretty doubtful, IMO.

Netflix has a much larger user base, making new subscribers far less important, similar to Prime... and again, casual fans aren't really going to care. They most likely already have Netflix and will watch because it's the NFL, and their subscriber base can hit record rarings for the NFL now without needing people to sign up... just like Prime.
