Streaming is amazing, but knowing Hulu shoves fucking commercials only means I'm going to continue avoiding them.

It's either pay-to-play or commercials, they gotta make money for it somehow. But if you just P-2-P, they generally don't count that, so I agree with Laz they need to factor someway of doing that. There's a shit ton of people that didn't find out about something like Lost and Breaking Bad until later and just binge watched them on Netflix, none of which contributed to their ratings which would help them stay afloat if on the chopping block.

Advertisers need to adapt to the age of Streaming though. More and more people are streaming. Hell Hulu does it best IMO. They allow companies to advertise on the service (hence why you get ad's during a show just like you would during a normal commercial break on live TV). Also other streaming services are starting to do live broadcast. Streaming is the future of TV and these networks needs to start preparing for that. So do Marketing and Advertising firms. On a personal note I love streaming because I can catch up with my shows when "I have the time for it" instead of worrying that I missed an episode due to work or other commitments. I'm with you on the value of streaming. But the downside is the loss of advertising revenue for networks.

my only issue with streaming is that it potentially keeps viewers from watching a network / cable tv show. and that it seems to be doing away with dvd / blu-ray. (with no other physical alternative on the way), the way that napster, spotify. etc, have pretty much phased out the compact disc with no other physical alternative to come. all of that said, i'm not gonna stop using and netflix and such, so i guess i'm a hypocrite.

I'm with you on the value of streaming. But the downside is the loss of advertising revenue for networks. And that's because the Networks (at least many of them) so far haven't adapted. technology is constantly evolving. Right now were seeing the early stages of the decline of cable TV. By the 2030's it won't exist. At least in it's current form. I honestly see everything going to streaming services. hell you've got Sports games, UFC fights, boxing, WWE and even major news networks already on streaming services or they've developed their own. Marketing firms are already jumping on this trend. It's just many network executives out there have their heads in the past. But it's slowly changing. It's the future of TV.

1. I wonder if someone was watching old car racing movies and got that idea. That was pretty damn great. 2. I want to kick the King in the nuts. 3. WTF Carol? 4. Daryl needs some cucumber on his eyes. 5. Rick's smile at the end...I know he was supposed to be happy, but I'm not used to him smiling so he looked creepy.

Funny how one of my best friends seems convinced Negan will die in the season final. He's about to owe me a lot of money come season final because Negan won't be dying anytime soon.

Good episode. What's up with those trash people? It's only been a couple years but they're talking like the Lost Tribe from Mad Max 3 and their tomorrow morrow land. Rosita needs to die. Her hardass routine is boring.
