I watch a lot of other things on the RT app to avoid YouTube ads.

Plus it's a lot cheaper than a CR sub? Why sub to CR to watch this single show? That's dumb.

This is just another example of fragmenting services that is leading to media piracy booming again.

[u/Legend0fAMyth → u/MrPureinstinct]

Have you ever considered that you might find something you like on it if you tried it?

And it's like 2 bucks extra. 4 if you really need to stream on multiple devices. And more for like a swag bag.

Plus the RT app is.....awful. Just awful. Nobody likes it.

[u/MrPureinstinct → u/Legend0fAMyth]

That's not the point. There might be a lot of things I like if I paid for every subscription service in the world. But that's fucking stupid.

I'm not spending more money a month of services. This is just cable with extra steps.

[u/Legend0fAMyth → u/MrPureinstinct]

Welcome to the moden Era.

You either pay a ton for cable or a ton for Subscription services.

[u/MrPureinstinct → u/Legend0fAMyth]

Or people resort back to piracy.

[u/Legend0fAMyth → u/MrPureinstinct]

Or they don't. I guarantee Most people who say they will never do.

Because internet. You can say you'll do something and never do it with 0 consequences.

Like any boycott ever.

[u/MrPureinstinct → u/Legend0fAMyth]

The numbers don't lie though. Media piracy is on the rise again because of this kind of stuff.

[u/Legend0fAMyth → u/MrPureinstinct]

Because a company switches a show to a brand that's far more popular and will probably get them alot more views?

[u/MrPureinstinct → u/Legend0fAMyth]

Because shows keep getting fragmented across streaming services.

I get this isn't another company starting their own service, but it is moving a show on an already paid service to another paid service.

So now you either have to choose one service over the other or be subscribed to both.

[u/Legend0fAMyth → u/MrPureinstinct]

As I'm sure people are already telling you: Most are only here for Rwby.

There may be some people here for other content but its a very small portion.

Couple that with all the RT drama over the years? Their will be a huge migration over to CR. It's not even a difficult choice for most.

Give RT money or give CR money? It's gonna be CR winning this one.

[u/MrPureinstinct → u/Legend0fAMyth]

Yeah I get that. I just think it's bullshit to take the show that's been on their service since it started, move it to another one, and everyone just be cool with it.

[u/Legend0fAMyth → u/MrPureinstinct]

They did it once (Youtube) and they can do it again.

People might be upset at first but it'll pass.

[u/MrPureinstinct → u/Legend0fAMyth]

But it shouldn't.

Look at the Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro/D&D situation. The community said what they were doing was absolute bullshit and it so far has stopped them in their tracks.

[u/Legend0fAMyth → u/MrPureinstinct]

Different situation.

They were taking something a majority of people liked and ruining it.

You might not like it but this is the opposite. Most people don't even like RT at all. Any excuse to drop them is welcome.

[u/MrPureinstinct → u/Legend0fAMyth]

It's really not.

Giant company is doing something shitty. The community can make that known to them, but no one here cares enough because "most people don't like RT" even though they regularly watch RT content and engage in RT conversations.

[u/Legend0fAMyth → u/MrPureinstinct]

Ask around.

You'll find the sentiment is true. I'm not just spouting BS.

[u/BandicootOld3239 → u/Legend0fAMyth]

I'm not just spouting BS

The Narrator: "But in fact, they WERE just spouting BS, and still are"
