If Band of Brothers is a 10, then Pacific is an 8.5.
As for Costco I dropped my membership because the $1500 annual I spent on cat food and litter was on brands they no longer carry (food was changed to boutique sized premium cans, or house brand). You don't change willy nilly the cat food, their digestive system goes amuck. So I have to drive the same'ish distance and entirely different direction to their competition where the prior hit all the clubs was 150% the mileage and I have more selection where I stayed (I live in a rural area and everything is far away)
One suggestion for your channel, you need a new camera. you video is not in focus and looks very low quality, and it hurts to watch it very long. Good content, but the video production needs work. Thanks!
Pacific a super great war series- better than band of brothers imop
I believe Costco cashiers always used to check the card member photo on the back of the card when you used the regular check outs. Now they are instituting a similar practice for self checkout. Not too surprising.
I'll turn off my adblocker when youtube starts remonitizing those I support.
Going after users never worked as people who pirate can’t afford to pay any fines and putting kids, disabled people and grandmothers in prison is bad for business. I predict piracy will grow massively because we are in a global recession
These corporate greedy networks are destroying cord cutting. Not only are they getting stupid with their prices but they are playing the "share the wealth" game by selling their content to other streaming services so they have content so now if you want a wide variety of content you have to pay for multiple streaming services. I am now paying just as much as a full cable package because of this crap. So, cord cutting savings, GONE!
Still not paying for hollywood useless garbage! Love it they are all in big trouble! Hope they all crash go bellyup
Many of these streaming networks are charging more and more and getting as bad as cable and satellite companies. You would think the competition for TV service would lower prices. We have to get rid of these high price companies.
The only real criminals are the big companies ripping there customers of they prey on the vulnerable by giving them an amazing sign up deal without telling them the price will go up 3 to 6 months by like 200% the war won't ever end I'm afraid if it did amazon would lost billions a year
Thank you for info on the $10 DirecTV credit. I have off air antenna and Amazon FireTV to get the local stations that DirecTV stopped transmitting.
An ad before a video is kind of annoying but I can put up with it. What I can't stand – and why I use an ad blocker on my PC- are the ads stuck at arbitrary places within a video. It's infuriating. Do they really think interrupting a fifteen minute video with three commercial breaks is going to inspire me to buy ANY of the products advertised? The anwser is NO.
I think I've heard the narrative crack down on piracy for 30 years.
I had never heard of soap2day. Lol
Yeah, it's too bad for cable companies. I don't feel bad for them. How about cutting down on how much you pay your CEO's than you dont have to worry about piracy. It's ok for cable companies to overcharge customers with bad services & unnecessary bundles, but cry fouls when people start to wise up. In 21st century no matter the country you live in, Tv/cable should be the cheapest utility available.! Screw cable company. I cut my cord few years ago no regret, just got tired of paying $200 per month for garbage channels. I enjoy my job with plenty of overtime, which leaves me with less time to watch Tv. Also, if you want to save 💵 buy an indoor/outdoor antenna you can have a lot of HD local channels.
There fuckin ragin thst the great unwashed can screw with there systems . Wee tip stop being dirty greedy bastards and folk might not pirate your service .
It will be a long war . P.S there not winning
Back to reading books.
Easy boy scout. I'm sure that you're not squeaky clean yourself. So sad that you're hoping that these jacks want to go after subscribers. It's a slippery slope.
Usenet never went away. Nor did torrents. The more they make it hard to access content, the more incentive there is for people to come up with ways around the problem. It’s funny how pirated content is often easier to watch than the official stuff because of their terrible interface.
We wouldn't need ad blockers if advertisers weren't so effing rude.
Fuck Costco, I’m canceling that garbage.

I enjoy your commentary but it seems like you're constantly looking down at a piece of paper in your hand? Why don't you just do a PowerPoint and have a remote and a monitor in front of you and that way you can look straight ahead when giving the report? Just a thought…
Imagine if they charged 2.99 per month. You will always get piracy, but not as much
If there was a option for $50-75 a month that could access all of the streaming services, including archives, no pulled content I would pay for it. As is, I have the skinny package in Canada, and only the streaming version from Bell. They force me to pay for 25 channels so I can pay a extra fee and get the only channels I want from the old 'cable' packages, 5 news channels like CNN and CBC Newsworld. I would rather pay for just the news, it is what it is. I gave up around 2 years ago dealing with ad blockers on Youtube and have Premium where I spend 95% of my video watching time. As for the first point, they will NEVER merge all their services into a single pay system like one of those magazine subscription sites.
I have paramount with showtime where are the last three seasons of shameless ? Anybody know ?
If it's a streaming service, not sure how they can prove have stolen anything! Especially if you use a VPN..
If it was 2 quid per month to watch Disney I'd have an account i don't watch. As it stands, with their price i don't pay anything and watch nothing.
typhoon labs went m.i.a. recently too
I will not pay £11.99 a month did it once and it DIDN'T STOP ADVERTS so I won't be forced into it again
Sam's is the best!
Crack down on the pricing & make all the platforms charge advertisers & more people would watch the subscription apps
Cancelled Netflix since they want to be greedy and push agendas.
