And do it begins…. Netflix has begun restricting content for plans that have ads They are now making you upgrade to a higher plan just to watch shows already available on Netflix Locked titles show a padlock icon in search and browse with a message that tells users to “Change plan to watch” Apparently Studios sometimes prohibit showing their content alongside commercials or require higher licensing fees for ad-supported distribution Keep in mind this show came out in 2010, and it’s been available many times without having to upgrade your service We all know this is really increase revenue, and this is actually true. According to Grok: Locked content can encourage upgrades, though Netflix frames it as a licensing issue rather than a deliberate upsell tactic It’s a scam





you’ll get mad at me for saying this…but cloud gaming is so obviously more economically efficient than physical hardware I think it’s going to be the default soon. your home console / pc is idle 90%+ of the day. meanwhile, data centers targets what, 5%, maybe at worst 10% idle. every second a cloud gamer isn’t gaming, that hardware is being used for someone else, training, etc. I think there should be a new measurement, something like cost-per effective FLOP hour that takes into account the TCO + effective utilization. If a gamer spends $500 on a GPU, uses it for 3 years, but it’s only fully active ~5% of that period…the cost-per relative FLOP hour is crazy high! Meanwhile, a $50,000 datacenter GPU might have a *LOWER* cost-per FLOP hour just because the effective utilization is 90+%.

















Is this the "fair competition" praised by recent articles? If a store with dominant market share taking a 30% cut can bully developers into not passing on savings to customers on competing stores with lower fees, then competition doesn't stand a chance.
