I don’t even understand the pitch? you have the disc playing, in your hands, your ownership, no buffering, no subscription required. and they’re saying…hey do you want a worse experience?

If this is hell, it ain’t so bad…
“we see your penis is below average in length and girth; click OK on your remote or say ‘more information’ to learn about how to fix that” as you step into your bedroom to get dressed
You prefer skis or snowboard for that slippery slope?
You’re the one at the top, saying “it ain’t so bad”
Sledge. Because where we going we don’t need control.
Also what’s a slippery slope when our privacy has been slowly getting invaded more and more. Imagine telling people from 30 years ago their vhs player know what they watch and an ads from Blockbuster will popup on screen recommending them what to rent next, and the internet keep track on where you visit and know what you like.
Telling people at blockbuster, where they kept track of your rental history and sent the information to movie studios, to rent movies that had unskippable pre-roll ads, you had to rent from a store filled with promotional material for what you should rent next, and then you had to rewind it all the way for the next victim XD
Also the quality was shit, the screen was tiny, the lines were long, the human interaction was insufferable, the late fees were exorbitant, and the hardware was expensive and a unitasker.
Don’t gaslight me about the good old days, I remember my dad walking behind the curtain.
Seems like all you doing is proving there’s no slippery slope because company is in fact getting more invasive.
Great job, maybe your dad also peek at what people’s watching and break into others house and recommend them related movie 🤣
Ads 20 years ago are just some dumb gify banners. Now your hdmi input got sniffed by your tv and identified by some fancy ai stuff in order to serve you the most profitable ads. I’m excited to see what kind of innovative ads we’ll experience 20 years from now /s
Bonus: Sony’s smart tv patent
indeed
There are patents for nuclear bicycles.
If only there was a marketplace of ideas to determine what patents were worth anything. Maybe some invisible hand all those libertarian privacy nuts are always on about.
