stuff about stuff
* The problem with working in pectore:
Me: I ficced!
Also Me: You did not fic. You added a thousand words to a chapter written eight years ago while you were editing it. You can't post it as new fic and nobody's going to see it.
Me: I... ficced?
Also Me: you did, but since you're not releasing the story until it's done, nobody knows and nobody cares.
* Beasties update: they are fine, I'm still recovering.
* I've been reading about the Streaming Wars and I'm more than ever convinced that we're headed for disaster. Apple TV's launch has been a pretty strong faceplant -- nobody thinks their shows are any good or their opening discounts worthwhile or their catalog any kind of necessary. Disney+ is counting on every household with kids subscribing (true) while also patting themselves on the back for outwitting the nerds who thought they could sign up for one month and binge all the MCU/Star Wars stuff and then dropping it by releasing episodes weekly (false). CBS All Access is Star Trek plus a couple of things nobody is paying to watch. NBC's Peacock doesn't even exist yet. Amazon and Netflix are still spending an unsustainable amount of hundreds of millions of dollars to buy cinema legitimacy. What they all think is going to happen: people will cut the cord on the cable bill and then recreate the same bill with streaming services. What will actually happen... not that.

I'm curious if it works, though -- cable bundles right now are to subsidize the channels nobody will pay for on their own, which is why we can't do a la carte cable. Is that viable for streaming?

Good luck with the learning.

And thank you. I have a project due tomorrow that needs to get started.
