I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

agreed. we have a previous generation of an Apple TV that we stopped using. i hated it. the interface is smooth, sure, but since it's apple, they force netflix/hulu/etc to use apple design patterns, and it just doesn't translate well.

I couldn't even get Chromecast to work consistently with our router. Constant dropouts. FireTV and Stick's interfaces are horrific. And they're constantly testing, so once you get used to a certain way of browsing, it changes.

This is happening--I ordered this today and we'll start a free trial of YouTube TV on Sunday, probably, to see how we like it.

Spectrum failed to show up and install my internet/cable, and I'm on the phone working it out and the dude offers to save me money on my mobile.

Fucking hell, the first time I offer you my business in 10 years you failed to show up, and you have the nerve to ask me if I want to move more services over to Spectrum?

This is not going to be a healthy relationship.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?
