Aborted

No, it would not kill me to do a new post.

But it may take up all freakin' night for two days, with no result.

Yep.  About a thousand words.  Three embedded youtubes, for cred.  It was awesome, and it talked about how Syfy and its ilk are alienating the cattle whose eyes it half-heartedly sells to advertisers, killing expensive (read: well-written) shows which get in the way of instant short-term profit.  Not a masterpiece, but worthy of a standing O(vation, you freak) for sure.

And then I edited it.

And again.

And while I firmly believed that Syfy and them were clutching frantically to idiotic notions that it wasn't their fault, that it was the fault of "the pirates," the 3% average loss toward whom was justification for skyrocketing prices and idiotic rights abuses in other media forms, I mistakenly believed that Syfy and friends were clinging to their out-dated, weak beliefs because they had nothing else.  Then it hit me.

Syfy is owned by NBC, which is owned by Comcast.

Comcast, Optimum, Shaw, all have in them the future of TV.  We're gradually becoming more adjusted to the idea of paying a subscription to individual series of programmes, and letting our cash fund the show directly;  halving the cost to suffer commercials would mean it's about $3/mo for Firefly, and even Seinfeld could almost survive with Mr S mailing about a hun-mil a year.

This means they have no reason to cling to tightly to their bizarre notions of arresting people who only want to view the commercials they've already been paid to add into shows for their customers, and every reason to let the evolution to pure distributorship occur.

So I'm baffled.  My premise is flawed, and about three thousand words (that's 1000 plus edits) is goin' nowhere.

I feel....
  I need a better format.  ;-)
