It boggles my mind how people in power over these streaming services just don’t get it:

Oh they get it, you can be sure of that. It's just they're so, so greedy they don't care that eventually in the future the well will dry up, they only care about more money NOW.

That’s how the system is set up. Even if the people in the corporation weren’t greedy, they need the line to go up every quarter. And when the higher leadership recognizes that, they hardly ever think about long term investments. So a corporation is not a money making machine, no, it’s a money maximizing machine. That’s why we call them greedy.
