      All streaming services are straight up ignoring FCC broadcast standards. The last sentence in the article shows the totals. Audio levels aside, they show ads for gambling, unlawful “stuff” ads, ads for ICE recruitment, and mixing G-rated kids content with PG content. Whatever excuse they are giving to not paying FCC fines may continue forward with the adage-- “hey, you can’t do business in California… unless users want it by staying with the service”, and possibly expect a new checkmark box notification in the future again.

        streaming isn’t broadcast, ergo they don’t have to follow broadcast standards, so of course they’d ignore them.

        another thing that frustrates me in FCC discourse is people claiming equal time used to be enforced for cable—Cable isn’t broadcast either!

      The rich are rich enough to not need/care of our “streaming dollars”.

      The bottom 50% have 2.5% of the wealth. You cannot move the needle with only 2.5% of the wealth as leverage.

      It will be blood or servitude. Take your pick.

        You’re saying the people who own and manage Netflix have no care for whether or not people pay for Netflix subscriptions? Bold assertion.

        Sure, voting with your streaming dollars isn’t going to overthrow the government, but that’s not what anyone was talking about. We’re talking about voting with your streaming dollars for a better streaming service.
