When you put it like that, yeah, it doesn’t really make sense. It’s not like it’s gonna go out of stock…
But I can think of a few reasons. Maybe they have the money to pay for it now, but might not have it later. Or they just want to watch it the second it becomes available.
This is how I find out Jimmy Carter died? I thought this was just a meme, considering the community name.
RIP to the first US president to be 100 years old.
When talking about box office grosses, Hollywood never adjusts for inflation unless specified otherwise.
Grease (1978): $328 million
Wicked (2024): $634.3 million
Unadjusted for inflation, of course.
The proper terminology is WAN - a Wide Anal Network.
Seems very suspicious that the CEO is getting paid millions while Firefox’s market share is dropping like an anvill.
I think that money would be better spent on improving the browser and making sure there are more privacy protections, maybe even set an example for other browsers to follow. Make average people actually want to use Firefox instead of Chrome.
I thought they were a for-profit company all this time.

Is it really more effort to pirate? I’m not sure I agree with that.
Relative to your own experience and tech expertise, it’s easier. Look at this through the eyes of an average person. More people use smartphones than computers/laptops (and if they use laptops, it’s likely that they’re running a locked-down OS like ChromeOS). They probably don’t even know what a file or folder/directory is, much less a “torrent”.
“So you’re telling me I need to install this app that’s not on the official App Store to ‘download’ a movie, in the process exposing my IP address and potentially getting me in hot water with my ISP? Sounds dangerous to my security, better stick with Netflix and Amazon Prime.”

I know Tibet is technically an autonomous region and not a country, but it doesn’t roll of the tounge as much.
I don’t think piracy has that big of an effect on box office.
Most people don’t know how to pirate properly and are too afraid of “viruses” and navigating file systems to do it.
If piracy really were that big of a problem, they wouldn’t be doing this.
Yeah, it boggles me why Universal would do this. It feels like they’re leaving money on the table.
Maybe it’s not performing as well as they’d hoped?
I know, this is my first time hearing about that community and I wanted to spread the word.
Test post? But I didn’t study!
