Well this is more for the lesser-watched, often geoblocked shows whereby you simply can't acquire them legally.

Yeah, but you don't "buy" buy them proper. They're like digital renting.

Well I'd imagine that this system, if set up properly, would in theory reduce piracy by quite a bit might be a good incentive.

Yeah, I mean ultimately muh rights issues aren't the consumers problem. If the networks and streamers don't make a TV series accessible on day 1, the internet will.

Well you don't get locked into a streamer like you did cable.

Sure, you're not the only one. But I would suspect most people didn't care.

With all due respect, by "people" it's just you. Yeah, some others in here have expressed discontent at this but they did it with a single comment, or moved on by now. Out of however many were actually pinged, it's probably not a notable amount of the overall.

I'd like to add that despite me not really seeing this as an issue, I didn't actually set this up. I was aware of it possibly happening, and saw no problem with it (I didn't know how it would look when/if it did happen - it could've been done via DM for all I knew). But that goes my involvement in it. And no, the instance of "community completely changing url and moving" is practically the only instance in which I would ever not mind or support something like this, so it won't be happening for just any future or hypothetical pinned post.

I'm not inclined to be told what to do, as you so object to yourself when you believed you were being ordered about.

It's just a community notification, not some seedy product or some con or scam. It was always meant as a one-off thing (that's apparently been done before anyway by the same guy to zero issues for another community migration).

Yeah I understand that, but it's kinda time this changed really in this day and age. Korea doesn't seem to have any problem spamming their media to the globe.

As I said, I'm not telling you to do anything. You don't want to subscribe, don't subscribe. You just got caught up on the mail-list because you at some point posted here (in the last X months). It's done now. It won't happen again.

Well, okay, they could sell it like that on their own platform then. But they don't.

You would have two ways to watch a show.

1. Get the streaming app and sub to it and watch it on there like now.
2. Buy it on the steam store, and Apple/HBO/whoever takes a cut.

Some shows however, completely leave all streaming apps. At least (2) would still remain.

I genuinely don't get why someone's notifications are so sacred to them to this extent. This was a one-off event that was done purely to get people migrating over to the new community. Which it seems to have done. Some people aren't bothered by it, presumably because they did subscribe here.

It was sent only to people who had interacted on here. Ideally it'd have done subscribers, but that's not possible.

Better yet, lemmy would have a migration system. But that to be fair, is probably not a development priority.

That was the post on this thread, not the notification that was sent out. The notification just says "Automated migration notification" (and then a list of names). Are you of the opinion that the very announcement in this community is in fact trying to dictate to people that they must subscribe to the new community?

I don't consider a one-off targeted notification as spam. You don't have to "listen" to anything. You can just click 'x'.

When did I say you have to subscribe and follow this community?

It wouldn't replace them, it'd exist alongside it.

It wasn't /telling/ you to do anything. It was just a "hey, if you're interested". That's it. Ideally Lemmy would have a function native for community migration but this is the next best thing.

Please do not assume that everyone who ever made a drive-by comment on one of your posts that reached the front page is someone who wants to subscribe to your new community, and absolutely don’t come in my inbox to instruct me to go to a community based on the authority of some vote I wasn’t in. I wasn’t the one making your community lively, it was the people creating engaging posts.

Unfortunately, the bot or script can't ping by subscribers. So it did the next best thing: comments. It's not telling anyone to do anything.

It's only a one-off notification, dear me.
