1. We're going to be back to

watching nothing, as all entertainment and news will be owned by terrible people before long.

2. There goes the Free Speech TV channel...

It’s available on the Roku platform, but I doubt it will be much longer.

4. Is on YouTube

And on tne internet on any computer. Getting rid of my roku too.

3. I have been watching Chinese language dramas on NETFLIX..

As a diversion from all the other shit taking place around me. It's nice to watch intelligent dramas that have stunning visuals, colorful costuming, complex characters, romance, political palace intrigue, etc. Not that I mind violence and language, when appropriate.

The Senior facility where I live has a ROKU account so that I can show movies on NETFLIX( also an account) in the theater on Saturday nights. I have been a NETFLIX subscriber since 2013.

5. Books and vinyl are cool again.

6. By fox or fox news?

I believe the two are entirely different entities now

ETA Fox corps is the right wing news company. 21st century fox is the one now owned by Disney

Looks like they are trying to expand

9. fox corp. same company as faux news,run by a murdoch

[HAB911]

8. Count them down

CNN blocked
CBS blocked
FOX blocked
Paramount blocked
Roku blocked

Comedy Central to be blocked the day they cancel the Daily Show
HBO to be blocked the day they cancel John Oliver

10. Well, I own two and I'm not out anything if I wait and see. The first signs they are removing my

apps or otherwise destroying my options, I'm out. But, I'm not going to cut off my nose to spite my face until I see that investment (which I can't recover) is no longer viable.

Before anyone comes after me for that, at least I am not one defending UFC and its sadistic viewership as "mere sport"--even before the WH fiasco. Yes. I mean that. I see the aftermath of such promoted violence and the impact among (mostly) young men.

12. I've got 2 ROKUs. If they don't start deleting things I'm OK with staying with them.

When I have to replace them, I'll probably change to an AppleTV box.

[GoodRaisin]

11. Whenever I can't watch what I want on mine I'll replace it.

13. This really sucks. It would suck if any large media company bought them, but this is awful.
