> The migration, which took place between 31 March and 5 April, actually destroyed 22TB of data. 14TB were recovered, presumably from backups, but "approximately 8 Terabytes remain missing and are believed to be unrecoverable."

Because they're consolidating. SVOD isn't viable and therefore poor performers are being annexed into one giant non-viable product. It is just delaying their death. The general public is sick of paying out the ass for subscription services that in many cases still serve you ads to some degree. Might as well just take the ads and get the content for free.

I also see this in practice. I haven't actually watched anything on Netflix in over a year, and this is with a shared family account. There just isn't anything worth it anymore. Aside from the 1 week of memes around Tiger King last year, what else has Netflix done that is notable.

Why is it that governments want to attack companies for serving ads using cookie pools, but won't own up to the spying they do on us, which is arguably far worse. Just keep flaring up the attention off of the BS they doing. "surveillance-based advertising", saying it like its scary. What they doing is actually scary, an ad for your local pizza joint isn't. Fucking hell people, even privacy minded people, are stupid to jump on the anti-advertising wagon.

The circle jerk bureaucracy and unions will be the down fall of the US. We're got to cut back the red tape. This is why infrastructure projects take 10+ years, go over budget, and typically have endless issues with the final product.
US manufacturing needs to come back, and fast. Sadly, it will get a lot worse before people see what needs to be done.
