>>82417980
Yep. the only reason i have cable is because it was bundled with my Internet. I still watch everything online. I just can't bear commercials anymore.

I honestly can't remember the last time I watched tv of my own volition.

No adverts at all

I don't watch sports outside of the Olympics and the internet is better for breaking news. TV is pointless.

B-but Rachel Maddow told me that 24/7 negative coverage of Srumpf and progressive propaganda was bringing record ratings? D-did the tv lie to me about how popular the tv is?

>>82418162
But you're forgetting the real reason most of America is cutting the cord: non-stop anti-white propaganda. Turns out white people arent really into that kind of stuff.

>>82419029
This just means more product plscement and more more content-as-advertisement. Advertisers are already exercising influence over adsense to indirectly control what kind of content gets paid for.

Leaked presentation from FaceBook to advertisers reveals FB has developed algorithms that can predict when a teenager is at one's most emotionally vulnerable and target him/her right at that point.

TV cannot compete with that.

>>82419536
It's not hard for facebook to do that seeing how teenagers literally put every random thought that pops into their head onto facebook.

>>82419536
Facebook also reports people committing thought-crimes to their oppressive governments. In 50 years, the human race will look back in disgust that our generation allowed it to happen.

lots of normies watch ESPN religiously, it is also always in the background in bars everywhere across the country. Also CNN always being on in airports.

sometimes i like to lay on the couch to play my 3ds and ill turn on the tv to whatever, usually local news or something, as background noise. I dont pay for it so whatever.

but yeah theres literally no reason to watch tv shows or movies on the actual tv anymore

I was just talking to several young people and I was surprised to find out that they thought "CNN is cool" and "getting news from the internet is lame." They also said that they didn't mind a moderate amount of advertising to help pay for the great content that they watch through their local Cable TV provider.

I have only one questions

When cable is completely gone, how will we receive amber alerts?

>>82420693
Ah yes, of course. There will always be demand for sports, news and a talkshow with some annoyingly witty host.

You're putting the cart before the horse. Television shows have started abandoning white audiences because white audiences abandoned them first.

Empire is now one of the highest rated shows on television because black people will actually tune in their TV set at the appointed time while whites will steal shit off the Internet. The same goes for Scandal and How To Get Away With Murder.

Networks are discovering they don't even need white audiences anymore. MTV canceled the Beavis and Butthead continuation not because there weren't enough people watching it, but because the audience watching it was too white and too male and those aren't MTV's target demo.

It isn't any wonder to me why people are ditching TV. American advertising is hilariously aggressive. Over here we have a single 5 minute advertising slot halfway through the show, and only film channels show more than 2 ads per feature, usually spaced out every 20 minutes. In the USA it's like every 5 minutes of show time is met with 5 minutes of ads.

MTV's dedication is impressive. They actually have this guy now informing his audience of how white people were created 7,000 years ago by a black mad scientist on a mission to engineer the most evil creature in the universe.

This is bad news, tv ads are going to move to on demand services, and they'll become more and more intrusive.

>>82420911
A typical American show is 22 minutes long, and shown in a 30 minute period.

I love my cable tv provider, especially the multiple channels of music that are provided as part of my package. Why is Cable TV such a great value compared to "cutting the cord" (which is, by the way, illegal).

>>82421130
Still a lot of ads (8 minutes is over a third of the runtime). It's much more pronounced with cable shows that span up to an hour.

>>82421130
>>82421175
The tradition for hour-long programs is 42 minutes of programming for 18 minutes of ads

But The Walking Dead has pioneered this new method of using a 70, 75 or during premieres/finales even a 90 minute time slot while still having 42 minutes of programming. It's ingenious.

>>82419111

>Commercials will find their way to streaming, just watch.

this, people here cheering the death of traditional tv don't know what they are in for if that happens. well it will happen either way, but you can be sure if sattelite and cable tv dies, advertisers will turn their full attention to putting more ads into streaming and making life miserable for pirates etc. we have lived in a sort of golden age where other people have taken the brunt of the annoying advertisements so we don't have to, that is coming to an end.

also, you guys are really naive if you think adblock is going to last forever, i'm frankly surprised it has lasted this long. once big corporations set their sights on killing it, it shall be killed. the list of websites that wont allow it is already growing faster then i would like. I know many of you think you have been outsmarting corporations, but the reality is they just haven't bothered with reaching you that much yet, when they decide our demographic is important to reach, there's little we can do. The silver lining is torrents are likely impossible to completely kill, but prepare your anuses for it to get much more difficult, especially if you live in a first world country where the law can come after you

>>82423607
Agree with this. Fucking hentai websites are already circumventing adblock by refusing you content if you don't disable it, or making it obscenely annoying to browse.

>>82421011
i only use netflix, but if they ever start putting in ads i will just cancel it and download everything again. i absolutely refuse to watch anything with ads in it.

I don't know if you have ever seen some of the recent youtube personalities but they're dumber, more biased and far more boring than any chuckle fuck on TV. These people are literally poisoning a whole generation.

Keep in mind that most "independent" """""entertainers"""""" are actually owned by Disney or other shitty corporation.

>>82417980
Implying the entire entertainment industry isn't.

Can someone explain to me why TV and movies are so expensive in the first place? I see some of the budgets for these amazing epics from half a century ago and the most expensive ones cost maybe $100 million in today's dollars.

It must be really hard convincing an entire generation who grew up using adblockers to sit and watch ads on a static format like TV.

>>82437259
it's insane how many young people don't use adblock though

>>82437235
CGI is expensive. Also the advertising budget for movies has become huge.

Accountants have become better at making expenses look bigger for tax evasion.

Probably more embezzlement too.

>>82437282
Don't tell them. Adblock should be a jealously guarded secret and should probably be deliberately made harder to use. The fewer normies use adblock, the less inclined the Jews will be to counteract it.

>>82437428
But what is the point of CGI if it's more expensive than just using practical effects? I see massive movies like F&F7 using CGI fire effects and it looks like something from flamingtext.com 15 years ago.

>>82420909
18-49 viewers is nothing some shows get thousands

>>82437428
They also do it to keep from paying participations for people who ask for points on box office.

>>82437478
A lot of time it's for less work and time on days of filming. So you can smash through whatever you have to film and fix it later with your 300+ strong CGI army from around the world and pickups/reshoots. So instead of paying to have the cast and crew plus the support staff (catering, doctors, consultants, etc.), you pay the manhours of CGI artists working around the clock sitting at the computer.

>>82419111
I honestly can't remember the last time I saw an ad on my computer.

they bring it on themselves. if they made it simple and easy people would watch. but they make it hard and annoying so everyone fucks off.

This.

Daily reminder that cable when it was first purposed for mass consumption was supposed to be a FREE service.

Once cable dies every single streaming site is just going to get inundated with commercials. As long as people are unwilling to work for free, ads will be around, and the less there are on cable the more there'll be online.

What's hilarious is that people think that big businesses are just going to accept adblock software.

The simple fact is, adblocking stuff is made by volunteers. When you throw the weight of a massive company behind anti-adblock, the anti-anti-adblock stuff just won't be able to keep up.

People who think Youtube is just going to let you keep blocking ads forever are fucking retarded. As advertising on the platform becomes more aggressive, more people will start using adblocks, and companies will want more protection on their investment.

Or they'll just put their money into lobbying and kill net neutrality, enjoy your dialup speeds on 99% of websites unless you pay 500 bucks a month.

>>82417248

One of the few good things about my country is a law that forbids commercial breaks during cartoons, which includes the likes of the simpsons as well.
Althought I heard that for a famous cartoon they had the idea of cutting into two parts.

>To make up for the shrinking audiences and keep ad sales high, TV networks have kept raising their rates, believing ad buyers will just have to spend more to reach the people they need.
Why do jews not understand basic economics?
When demand goes down, they raise prices to try and hold onto their bottom line.
When demand goes up, they raise prices to capitalize.

Can they even be self-sufficient without goyim to live off of?

>>82421887
>I don't understand how people fall for that shit and agree to get price gouged when you can literally watch anything you want, without ads, online for free.

I like the hands off, pre-scheduled approach of cable. Every day the same shows are on at the same time slots and every day it will advance one episode forward in the series, I don't need to manually go through show and episode lists to swap to a different series and episode after one ends, etc. Things like that are something I like. I can't stand doing that shit.

I also find that random scheduled shows and channel surfing discovered a lot of things I enjoy, while I have never, not once, discovered a new series or movie I enjoyed through netflix. Curated systems seem to work the opposite of how they should.

I found this one plugin for Kodi once that simulated this cable like automated scheduling. It was quite nice, the only problem is that it is the slowest fucking set up in the world since you still need to lay out everything manually at the start. It took me 4 days to essentially set up a nice scheduled sci-fi channel on it, adding up to probably 10% of the shows I would have liked to have but I wasn't going to spend months getting it all going.

Sky is expensive compared to Netflix, but alas it gets licensing deals, even from netflix itself, which means blacklist is on SKY, is all around good because I don't need the Starz channel, the HBO channel, Hulu and so on, is mostly 1 big net, is not perfect but is still a good deal.

>>82440958
It's just media dinosaurs thinking they still have the monopoly on peoples' free time. 20 years ago this thinking of theirs made sense. There was nothing to challenge the dominance of TV. The internet was just a curiosity only used in certain professional circles and among nerds. But even 10 years ago they should've seen the way the wind was blowing. Now they're staring down the possibility of TV becoming totally outmoded and as irrelevant as radio in their lifetimes.

>>82440849

I've literally never watched a youtube ad in my life because I'm not an Internet Explorer-using Baby Boomer and have a decent adblocker installed.

#1 complaint about cable by far is not being able to pick and choose individual channels so you don't pay for shit you will never watch.
Cable companies still doing their best to fight this, forcing basic channel packages and clogging up the listings with all the channels you don't own (not even allowing you to favorite the channels you pay for).

Fuck em. Reap what you sow.

>>82441018
>I remember when people made videos because they wanted to

Yes, I too remember Logitech QuickCam 360p videos with unintelligible audio where people showed their dance moves.

It's time to get over your crippling self absorption and grandfather tier "Kids these days" and realise youtube content is not fucking cat videos and The History of Dance anymore. People with an income off it produce some amazing channels. There are courses for Software and Electrical Engineering that put out better info than tuition charging shit, like EEVBlog's main series.

>>82440924
>It's just like how porn sites manage to turn a profit even though there's so much fucking porn available for free on the internet you could never fap to it all before having to pay for stuff you haven't seen, yet morons still pay money to jack off.
Get a load of this fucking casual who has such basic bitch tastes that the trash uploaded online is enough for him.

People who buy subscriptions to shit like BLACKED are fucking retarded, sure, but there's plenty of stuff worth paying for if you've matured past searching for "lesbian squirting vids".

>>82441082
It's not cable companies, it's the networks. Cable companies would be more than happy to sell people products they'd be willing to buy, but the networks won't allow them to sell just one of their channels, they have to sell the entire package or else they get nothing. Arguments like these are why some channels sometimes get dropped from some providers.

>>82440872
>>82441009

But you still have to buy those packages from the "cable companies" so it's not like they are going away, and they can still have their way anyways.

Until like every city has Google internet or something.

>>82440872
>Just buy an internet subscription

But the cable companies still control that. The idea of leaving them or them being irrelevant is a ruse.

>>82440986
You can just download all that shit for free, retard.

Sky is trash, and I can't understand why anyone would ever pay for it. As a kid, I wished I had cartoon network and Sky 1 because I didn't know how shit nu-simpsons was, but in this day and age you have to be braindead to use them.

They're overpriced, and deliver pretty poor speeds. Virgin is the best if you can get a deal, I'm paying 18 a month for 60mbps, and I know people who pay 25 for 200.

I bet half of that is fucking pro stuff, you child, and bragging about 800gb is just embarrassing. That's, what, 200 fucking HD movies? Twice that at 720p? You are like little baby. Come back when you have at least a 10gb NAS, and then talk to me about porn.

Remember that "the thing" remake where they made animatronics but decided to use CGI instead? The guys who made them, made a video explaining the why to this, not sure where to find it someone might know it.

But anyway there is many answers to this,
1) You can just "fix" things in post
2) You can have your PG and 17 version on the fly by just adding blood later (see Die Hard 4)
3) You can film it faster without having to reshoot if something goes bad with the props
4) Not having to change the film location
5) Not having to fiddle with lights which is a real pity
6) Easier to manage,
really lots of reasons.

It's incredibly shitty. Here in Canada the CTRC (regulation body) tried to fight back against this package scam shit and required that there be a basic cable package that was $25 and gave pretty much the bare standard local channels and sell the rest of the channels. The problem was it wasn't specifically made to be INDIVIDUAL channels.

Rogers solution? Make the $25 basic package have practically 0 non-news content than sell channels in lumps of 3 entirely unrelated stuff to spread around the cost of your specific taste for like $7-15 each

Package A:

Science channel
Classic movies channel
24/7 infomercial channel

Package B:

Astronomy/NASA type channel
Cantonese News (seriously)
Sub-TLC tier reality shit channel

Package C:

Specialized science channel (specifically environment and nature or such)
Cooking channel
Sprots channel

So are you into Science content? WHOOPS, now you need all 3 of those packages to get the stuff you want. That will be $35 additional please.

Rogers is also the primary cable internet provider in Canada (and the only DOCSIS 3. provider) and they establish this really scummy bundling scam for it.

The cost of their internet packages are really fucking high, especially if you go above 100mbps. Once you go for their DOCSIS 1000/50 (Slow upstream) package, it's intentionally made cheaper by forcing you into a "reduced price" bundle with a premium TV package. But the cost is still a good 100% higher than an equivalent connection in most other countries.

I fucking HATE cable companies so much.

>>82440781
I fear for something else, with America getting FLAT for Mobile's internet, certain electric companies like say Philips or whatever could make a deal with the internet providers so that your stuff is connected without having to ask for your data.

From consumer side it seems "wow it fixes and work by itself"
From the company side they can gather whatever info they want.
Smart TV? No, smart everything.

>>82441218
>What's hilarious is that you think everything gets uploaded
Yeah pretty much. What, you're not in any private trackers? Thought not. Pleb.

Also I only save my favorite videos, I delete the ones I don't care fore. That's 800gb of favorites, out of probably 10TB+ of shit I have downloaded. I collect porn in so many different varieties and genres, you sit there trying to talk big because you stream some shitty S&M videos or something? Sad.

Our PC's are entirely under our control and whatever shitty system they try to devise to force ads on us will be circumvented. It's a battle they can't win and haven't won in years. That's the difference here.

>>82438444
BT Sport went full retard recently. They had enough football on that it could be justified getting but then they went and paid a ludicrous amount for coverage of some Cricket trash and had to increased the price of the channel by like 20% to make up for it.

Cancelled that shit on the spot, fucking hate cricket and not going to pay for something I'll never watch.

>>82441269
>What, you're not in any private trackers?
Holy shit, did you sign up to empornium or something, and now you're fucking bragging about it?

If you're fine with jerking off to crappy pro stuff, I'm sure you can do fine just with torrents. 10% of the shit you've downloaded goes in your favorites? Not even 1% of the stuff I watch does.

Just a little note to the people saying you dont need TV and just get internet. This isnt always true because you dont always get the choice. Cable companies that still deliver signal over coax and internet via DOCsis dont allow you to just get internet because its physically impossible to cut the tv signal without cutting the internet also. Therefore they will always sell pacakges since you have to pay for basic analog signal regardless if you want it or not. With fiber to the home however its different. All the cable company has to do is tell the home central that this home is not to receive tv but only internet.

Basically if you dont have fiber access where you live you have the choice of having decent internet over coax and also pay for tv which you dont want, or cutting the cord and getting a really shitty ADSL connection. Since building new fiber infrastructure is expensive and time consuming, most people dont have a choice

Moore's law is dead. The desktop PC as a fundamental concept is quickly dying, in 20 years it'll be a barren market.

What's funny is that you think they haven't already fucked you. You've never heard of the Management Engine? You think Windows 10 is going to go away?

People can't even crack this shit for free games, you think they're going to bother just to stop ads? Everything is always connected, always updating, always being replaced by new components with better specs and more intrusive hardware additions. This isn't a battle you can win.

Free games end up cracked eventually. If you're referring to Denuvo then that too is being cracked with greater efficiency. It's a stop-gap at best, a good one, but that's all it is still.

No, I'm referring to W10 games for windows shit. Maybe it'll get cracked one day, but probably by a disgruntled employee leaking the data, given it fucking streams that shit to your PC to decode on the fly in a way that's impervious to current methods of attack.

The idea that hobbyists are going to be able to keep up with fucking spyware inside their CPUs is absolutely laughable.

What you're seeing is just the beginning of the great big lockdown of consumer hardware. Unless you happen to have access to Intel's fabrication units, you're not going to be able to make a new open computer ever again, unless you're fine running on 2009 hardware forever.

It's a load of bullshit, but he's very clearly watching live TV, which is why he refuses the searches and lets it escalate to this point.

He's a normie, they all love the tellybox.

I haven't watched a TV in about a decade, but plenty of people still do. If he actually had nothing to hide, he would have just let them in for 2 minutes a year, it's hardly the end of the world to save 150 squids.

But soon the Beeb tax is going to be a computer tax, so anyone who owns a phone, or a laptop, or a PC, is theoretically capable of watching iPlayer so everyone will be forced to pay.

>>82417248
I'm pretty sure the same thing is happening not just for advertisers, but customers too.

10 years ago, the basic cable package was 19.99 where I'm at. You got like 50ish channels with all the stuff people expect.

I looked into the pricing not that long ago and it was 50 a month with about 40 channels, and a lot of them that you would expect like VH1 or MTV, you DIDN'T get, you had to pay extra for them.

So the same thing is happening there too, they're pricing themselves out of the market and hastening their own demise.

They have fewer people that buy cable so they're trying to bump up prices proportionally to keep the same profit margins.... but the opposite happens when cable costs too much to be worth it.

Particularly when anyone who's internet saavy can watch anything they want for free.... that makes the only market for cable is the 40+ demographic.

>>82443223

Why do you think 'Free to air broadcast' means it isn't stealing if you don't have a licence.

>>82444171
Forza Horizon 3, Gears of War 4, ReCore, and other assorted trash. Quantum Break is the only one that's actually been cracked, but I think there was something special about it.

>>82417248
Technically it's not TV audiences declining, I watch my TV all the time, it's just smaller audiences for over-the-air & cable shows as people want to watch what they want, when they want and you can't do that by being chained to a TV show's schedule.

Basically, cord-cutting which will eventually lead to higher ISP prices, as they will cry about how customers are using "too much bandwidth" so they need to charge more etc.

So now I torrent/stream literally everything and nothing will change that, as I have literal access to everything ever fucking made instead of whatever one shitting network puts up at any given moment.

There is something sad about renting.

>>82444721
Sooner or later they'll get around that, too.

Wasn't it Spotify that paused ads if you muted your computer?

>>82445524
>Yeah this is why they will continue to loose viewers, and putting pop up ads on during broadcasts that obscure and ruin your viewing experience will just make people leave even quicker.
I was absolutely appalled the first time I saw this, I had no idea things were so bad in America. I wouldn't surprise me if it happens here too now but I don't watch live TV other than movies at Christmas.

I can't find a clip of it but it was Kang and Kodos from the Simpsons flying all over the screen during an episode of Fringe, totally immersion breaking.

>have to pay a bunch for cable
>still make you watch ads

what a scam

netflix is the future

>>82445664
It's only a matter of time before the get ads

>>82445624
>Wasn't it Spotify that paused ads if you muted your computer?
Yeah, the pause and sound control buttons also have a delayed effect when used during adverts.

They have a great selection which I would have been happy to pay for full access to, but that would give tacit approval to those methods.

1 minute after cable dies.

I don't know why people hate cables and people around me cut their cables

I still find it quite important. I can only watch things from internet for a time span much shorter than watching TV

I wonder when the greedy kikes will realize the success of the App Store/iTunes Music Store applies to television just as well:

Sell people precisely what they want, no more and no less, for relatively inexpensive prices and the sheer volume of sales will make up for any lost revenue for other reasons. A satisfied customer is a return customer.

>>82445732
Your like a dodo bird.

>>82445732
me? personally? I watch people play video and card games for hours and don't get board

you can still buy an internet TV package cheaper than cable btw

The porn industry actually operates very similarly to television
Very few (like an uber minority) people pay for subscriptions. The big companies all license out clips from their films after 6 months or so to certain websites (porntube, 4tube, pornhub etc) and, in return, get a cut of the advertising revenue

>>82445870
Y-you mean me and my kind will extinct if we keep paying the cable bill?

That's actually a major fear of mine

What am I going to do with my CRT tv...its still good...

Sports are the only thing people watch on tv nowadays and even ESPN is losing money. Shit is fucked.

I use the shit out of my DVR. with the Hoppers 30 second commercial skip feature the only live tv I watch is the local news. if there isn't anything recorded I want to watch and something comes up on the tv I want to watch I just hit pause and go do something else for a little bit. then I can skip through the commercials when I come back to it.

Thanks for the good laugh I forgot about that.

ESPN barely shows sports, anymore. The majority of the time is Sportscenter -- also, ESPN costs a shitload for providers to... well, provide.

>It's why they want net neutrality
net neutrality was some real bullshit. FCC making a fucking power grab over a non-issue.

thank god the new FCC chairman isn't a mendacious cocksucker and is only in it to reign in his deplorable agency.

Sometimes it is who they are. Take a look at some of the episodes of Terra Nova. It was the time traveling pioneer mystery show with dinosaurs at $4 million per episode. I think only half the episodes had any dinosaurs. One started off with them reeling in huge prehistoric fish with effects so bad, you would think some teen did it on his home computer.

Steven Spielberg was the producer. I imagine that he took half the money right off the top.

>>82446834
And ESPN is Disney's main source of income. If ESPN falls, Disney will fall too.

I don't even have a TV. Last time I had one was in 2006. Seriously, fuck TV, it's absolute garbage. All that needs to happen to make it completely and totally obsolete is something equivalent to Twitch streaming specifically for sports channels. Whoever manages to get that site off the ground is going to be rolling in money.

The surest sign TV is dead is those cocksucking Jews at HBO finally allowing (paid) streaming-only access to their content without a tv sub

For the longest time you HAD to have HBO through a cable provider to watch HBO online, this is no longer the case

all the major networks are preparing to jump ship.

Did they ever make another Flo commercial after Sea Hag?

>>82445088
You forgot the extra $70/month for the landline they only use a few times a year

>>82445180
No, but it made me more aware of products so that when I was in the mood for buying something, it came to mind. Anyone who says that advertising has no effect on them is completely delusional or a hermit living off the land; everyone thinks that about themselves yet it's a billion dollar industry.

>>82447905
advertising can't affect you in your house if you use an adblocker and turn off the television

they try to give me that shit thru the mailbox and it goes right into the bin

oh em gee, Simpsons were right.
>Just don't look.

>>82441407
They just won't give you the box coded to receive the TV signal.

>>82445180
No. In fact if I see the same advertisement enough I start to hate the product and the company that sells it.

>>82445352
how can an adblocker get rid of the stupid commercials before the video starts?

>not wirelessly connecting your laptop to your smart tv

oh no, not threatening letters to "the occupant"

and no, police only come if you have already been convicted and have refused to pay your fine so the bailiffs come to seize goods
