😟 Is anyone here annoyed or...


...concerned or frustrated that Jeff Bezos bought MGM?

I'm a bit annoyed. He doesn't need to own everything! Creates a lack of choice. I suppose those who have Amazon Prime are fine with it, but those of us who don't, well...

amazon prime is nothing great. it needs product.

I guess I'll start collecting DVDs of any MGM movies I like since they'll probably never show up on any streaming services I subscribe to. There are some MGM movies that are in the public domain. I assume there's not much Bezos can do about that.

I am definitely annoyed by Bezos buying Audible and then hoovering up nearly all of the audiobooks so you either join Audible on one of their "plans" and pay through the nose for an inferior product ( low res proprietary file format downloads ) or you do without. The guy is a menace and unregulated capitalism is very bad news.

I thought Ted Turner bought MGM in the 80s or 90s. Or was that just the old catalog?

I can't keep up on all these goings-on. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
