If a dude can crosspost 5 posts into different communities and reach the frontpage, then that means there is a tiny userbase on lemmy and that the issue is interesting to that userbase.

What on Earth are you on about? Commenting on a thread in a non-TV related community means they're hopelessly addicted to TV?

I don't know about you dude, but I frequently comment on shit I don't actually give a shit about. Often while taking a shit. Like right now, in fact. When did the bar for "caring" drop so far that one deciding to comment in this thread rather than read the back of the shampoo bottle constitutes "caring"?

Dude, they cancel shows whether you pay or not. Have you not seen what they do at Netflix?

Here's a video of a board meeting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQTUCOx7TwI

Also spending money on a service doesn't mean it'll make quality shows. Here's a video where Netflix frivolously spends subscribers money on things that no one cares about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXfTa7DCm5M

If enough people do that for cancellations to happen, it will send a message that shrinkflation is not a viable business model.

Our favorite shows are aided by a robust piracy community, which fuels Deviantart and Rule 34 (and people who who buy Danerys Targaryen Toaster ovens).

The shows that get cancelled are the ones with insufficient appeal to the mainstream (and Hollywood elites who think they know what Americans want), such as all the shows that had lesbian appeal were cancelled.

The other fate of a show is a season 7-8 of shark jumping moments, worsening in context the prior seasons. Like making Danerys Targaryen go mad at the perfectly wrong time in the finalé so the story doesn't end with a queen in power.

I stopped pirating music when subsections were better and affordable. Until movies and tv shows do the same I’m not giving these fuckers a dime.

Legality isn’t even a thought for companies anymore, and the punishment is only a small percentage of what they make for screwing their users. All they care about is profit and saving in server bandwidth by making quality worse.

Yes. It's like a contract. (Just double checked the date and it's >30 day notice)
In this case, Max is letting them know that on Max's end their changing the terms of the contract. The new terms are Y.
Customer can opt to not continue the contract before the changes go into effect.

Here in the US, on a cable internet provider we essentially do the same thing every 2 years when we come off promotion pricing. I call, tell them what I'm willing to pay and they decide if they're willing to provide service at that rate.
They decide if they are willing to accept my terms or offer different. If they offer different, I call up the other cable provider and take their 6 month promo and tell the first one to come get their shit.

I wish there was a way to sail the high seas easily for a tv as I don't have time to sit and torrent the variety of shows my family watches and I only use a cheap laptop for rare times I need to use it.

I use a few streaming apps similar to what showbox was but with everything shutting down and restarting under a new name every month it's hard to keep up. I own a chromebook for any of the needs i require which isn't much.
