    FYI: Sony sold Crackle to Chicken Soup For the Soul a few years ago, who also owned Redbox. Chicken Soup etc. declared Chapt. 7 bankruptcy and shut down all operations. In short Crackle no longer exists outside our memories.

    • @tstuff
      @tstuff 2 месяца назад

      Yeah until they develop a way to make more money from its users. Then the service shuts down in “corporate rework” to save money and increase profits for its shareholders. No business actually ever gives you anything for free. Making you sign in with an Amazon account just gives them a lot of user data by connecting your purchase history and viewing history. Once they find a way to increase their income they will take that opportunity

    Have you noticed it's also impossible to record anything from the tv or streaming service now, because tv's have only "video and audio" IN and not OUT, and nothing you can get streaming services on have an OUT option. I used to record frequently because I was working or unavailable to watch something. I guess now they figure you can stream anytime, but not always.

      HUMAX hard disk recorder boxes allow you to record from freeview / freesat, if you have a more modern version with smart it may allow other content (Guessing for that bit)

    • @michaelgrimes381
      @michaelgrimes381 3 месяца назад

      there are ways around that. even if a tv only has input, you can use another tv and a vcr as a pass through device to record things from the first tv. granted it would greatly diminish picture and audio quality to not much higher than a vhs cassete, but it still works. also, they have devices you can buy that connect straight from a laptop/desktop to a tv you can use to record directly from 1 to the other, but those are generally more expensive.

  • @Buc_Stops_Here

    The free on-demand content on Freevee could be rebranded as a free viewing tier of Prime Video. They just change the name of it and still offer it for free. We will have to wait and see if that is what they do. This would be like the free tier of Peacock that was offered until 2023 when they removed it. The only problem with that is that Amazon could pull the same stunt after a period of time.

    I pay for no-ads on Amazon not because I hate ads there a catch. If you buy streaming content Movies or TV Shows in 4k you will not be able to stream them in 4k if you choose ads. I am not talking about videos you can watch with your monthly fee. These are Movies you own or are allowed to watch until you die or Amazon takes away.

    The fragmentation of streaming services will just cause people to pirate, its what happenend in the 90/2000s and it will occur again. The only real reason pirating dropped was due to the introduction of streaming making it unviable for users to do it anymore, this will force back its return.

      You would think that but most younger people have no idea how to use anything that isn’t an app. I bet few have ever used anything aside from a phone/ tablet, a gaming system, or a chrome book that is nothing more than a glorified tablet. I remember building computers, using scripts to get programs to work, installing W95 off floppies, 5.5 and 3.5 inch and Zip floppies, dial up, when MP3 were new tech, file sharing … some of us could do it but the tech companies and media companies have dumbed everything down to the point most people couldn’t use old tech if they had to. It’s like photography. I could still buy a 100ft roll of film, divide it into canisters of 24 images, load it into a 35mm camera, know which lenses to use for various settings, f stop,… and all the way to using a darkroom to develop and print the pictures. Now anyone with a phone can take a reasonable point and click. No skill needed. No talent. But it’s easy.
