This is sad but unfortunately I think this is just going to be the norm for the next few years as streaming services die a slow death.

HBO Max should in theory be able to make money from a show that was at one point the top new series in the US. At the time, David Jenkins said "This is what happens when a major media company invests in inclusive mainstream stories" (agree!) but unfortunately that major media company, like all streaming services, has a terrible business model that can't support that investment.

This is an interesting article about how streaming services are losing money and scrambling to make it back by trying to convince people to buy cheaper, ad-supported options or bundling with other streaming services. Unfortunately for them, I think that's like... all of the options? At some point they're just going to continue to lose money. Making shows is expensive and very few consumers are willing to pay more when they could just cancel and use a cheaper service (or, you know. 🏴‍☠️)

This is also a good article that was written after Shadow and Bone was cancelled by Netflix about whether it could be saved:

"The problem is that while saving shows used to be plausible, at times, the cost of Shadow and Bone combined with the fact that streaming services are really, really starting to cut back on spending means that this would be an extremely tough sell. WB Discovery’s Max is being lambasted for killing finished projects for tax breaks to chip into its massive debt. Disney Plus has done the same thing and has said they will cut back on things like expensive Marvel shows. Amazon Prime is mired in expensive creator deals going nowhere and throwing insane amounts of money at projects they are realizing are not panning out. Paramount Plus losing $500 million a year. NBC’s Peacock is losing $650 million a quarter."

TLDR; Streaming services have reached such a dire point financially that they have to cancel some of their most popular content (Marvel shows on Disney+???? These have seemingly been very successful; it's wild to read that they're "cutting back") in the desperate hope that a new season of something that's cheaper to make will get more attention.

What I gathered from these articles is that steaming services are dying a slow death and sadly, a lot of good shows are going to go with them.

#as a teacher i'm Very Familiar With Budget Cuts and listen #when they start doing stuff that doesn't even make logical sense you know it's bad #this is the point where they're pointing at chairs in the break room being like 'do we really need that'#streaming was a terrible business model in the first place #subscriber services are pyramid schemes no i will not elaborate #mine #our flag means death #ofmd #rip in peace #where else can i watch con o'neill tho #him saying 'ooh daddy' haunts my nightmares i want to watch all of his content

I missed you for swaymark? 👉👈🥺

37. ‘I missed you.’ — swaymark

Prompts!!

Return

Swaymark, goalie nesting AU

—-

Watching the light slowly to return to Jeremy’s eyes is always a relief. Linus knows it’s inevitable, he knows that the possibility of losing a goalie to nesting is slim— but it’s never zero. That’s what scares him.

He smiles as Jeremy gets up, emerging from the pile of clothes and other random materials, shaking himself off like a bear emerging from his hibernation, starved. The fondness chokes him, he feels like his heart is going to burst with how much he loves this man, and when recognition sparks in Jeremy’s eyes he thinks he cannot breathe anymore.

“Hey, you.” he greets.

“Hey,” Jeremy’s voice comes out scratchy, rough with disuse. He can’t speak when he’s nesting, settles for growls and chirps, little musical trills. He crawls into Linus’ lap, as if he hadn’t had him imprisoned in the nest for the last few days, as if he’s—“I missed you.”

It’s a silly thing. It is. Linus tells him so, between giggles and kisses and gentle caresses. But Jeremy insists.

“I’ve been here the whole time!” he protests, and Jeremy huffs, like he’s the one being ridiculous.

“But I have not.” And he kisses him with finality.

He supposes Jeremy’s right. Maybe he did miss him, too.

Don't mind me, just mourning my p*rn blog of over 8 years that staff just deleted without warning, while I was reading it, without giving me time to back it up or say goodbye.

And if any of you says something along the lines of "you got the chance to do all that in 2018", what, you think my blog didn't change at all in the last 5 years? Show me a permanent state of the self. That which I backed up then is a shadow of an earlier age.

I named it after an inside joke between some high school friends and me. I don't even remember their names, but I remember the joke.
