I came here thinking this was gonna be some ragebait about how millenials dropped TWD because it got too complicated for them.

I've never seen a thread here I was less interested in.

This is exactly right, any show with an ounce of intelligence, or complex plot, they turn off. The only thing millennials like to watch are memes. Think about how everything in the last year has gone viral. deadpool. stranger things, black mirror, swiss army man. These are all things that can be resorted down into bite sized memes.

that's literally not what the article is about at all but nice knee-jerk Sup Forums

Makes perfect sense.
Watch it all in order so you know whats going on. Might as well spend your time on something worth while.

I found the Stranger Things fan
>muh 80s

this thread is too hard

why even bother when there are other threads I could read

nice reading ability

Is this a real article? It's like the Sup Forums equivalent of that Sup Forums pasta about Kanye West fans having no honour.

I'm definitely guilty of that. If I have to download each episode weekly I always start to fall behind and take weeks or months to catch up. But bulk downloads or instant streaming on a network's site, netflix, etc will make me watch just for how simple it is

>An entire generation of people raised on free media is unwilling to start paying for it
I'm amazed there are people who still don't understand this.

That's not what the article says, dipshit. The fact you came in eager to spout your opinion - as if you've something insightful to share - makes you no different from the self-absorbed millenials you imagine haunting the corridors.

Millenials
1986-1996

Most people browsing here are millenials. Just saying. We're the problem.

Wow nice opinion you fucking millenial

>generation raised on add-inducing television shows and assorted internet garbage, largely composed of dumb brown people, doesn't like anything that requires an attention span to understand
really surprising, my man

Illiterate alert! Illiterate alert!

>tfw to inteligent to watch shows behind paywalls

So when it costs something millenials are not interested? Interesting.

We're in the mid-stages of TV/Movie companies turning against the consumer and actively blaming/insulting them.
Have fun dealing with the same shit people who play video games have been dealing with for the last half decade.

>the problem

what problem? Young people can't be arsed to stay up to date with crappio tv? I don't see that as *a problem*

>I came here thinking this was gonna be some ragebait about how millenials dropped TWD because it got too complicated for them.
Same. Blood pressure spiked and plummeted in a second.

why are we called that stupid name

also, why pay for something i can get for free and without 10 minute ads? it's their fault, they dont realize we now have a choice.

lmao, good

television and movies are hot garbage and I will witness the death of the industry with satisfaction

How is a show behind a paywall not a legitimate excuse for not watching a show? I would just torrent it but normalfags can't do anything that isn't on an app.

*1995
FTFY

>1997
wew Dodged a bullet

Seems fair enough. It's like what Gabe Newell says - people pay for games on Steam rather than pirating them because Steam offers a convenient service, that's why people are willing to pay. The stubbornness of media outlets that refuse to adapt to the internet is just retarded.

Post-millenials are worse though.

Sounds like a bullshit excuse not to admit that the walking meme and Game of thrones are shit tier shows

In other news, millennials have the attention span of a fly

nah

>Make your viewer jump through hoops to watch something
>People start to stop watching
Oh wow guys who could've imagined it?

This is good... isn't it?

Not surprising.

The average person goes full retard when trying to torrent. They either

1)Can't figure out how

2)Figure out how but don't do basic shit like reading comments or uploader profiles and then get a virus and claim "torrenting is dangerous"

I for one crave complex intelligent movies, games, and shows that don't hold your hand. They are just extremely hard to find. Then again I'm not a millennial. I really can't imagine people thinking most of anything out is "not easy to watch" but I may be missing what that means exactly I guess.

Maybe it is hard to watch on their shitphones between texts?

At least bother to read the OP

Half the posters in this thread got triggered upon seeing the screencap and revved up those shitposts

TV is free though...

There's a cut every 2 seconds in the fucking Roots reboot. It truly boggles my mind to think that people have problems paying attention to tv shows.

That never ceases to amaze me.
If quality doesn't matter much to you, all you need to do is go to the pirate bay, search for "show name s00e00", organize by seeds and download the first one.
People are fucking dumb.

Well, you kinda shoot yourself in the foot right there 'cause you obviously didn't read the OP since it isn't talking about them being hard to understand but hard to access to them.
I guess it's hard to read on your shitphone between texts.

thats because youre jealous that you*re not working in the industry and earning hundreds of thousands of dollars being creative and creating fun characters and story ideas. Instead youre a wage slave in a boring meaningless job. this frustrates you so you hate the entertainment industry.

It says nothing of the kind.

enjoy your 25 minutes per hour watching commercials.
That's not exactly my idea of free.
Also, don't you pay for cable?

Compared to the previous generation that watched/taped free shows on TV?

Honestly, I don't know anyone (myself included) rushing out to buy whole series on VHS.

>these people pretending to be superior to millenials because they don't give on "hard to understand" shows
>not even what the OP is about
10/10 smart people

This is great news right? Basically means that with streaming services/cable providers starting to tighten the noose and bleed out consumers, consumers are choosing to just say fuck it and find something else?

I think it will take a few years still, but hopefully.

> mfw i thought this was about normieshit like TWD / GoT being 'too deep' for people.

Honestly expected it sooner or later.

I can hardly wait until the TV networks and the entire industry model to die a slow, painful death.

sweet irony

>Those who started watching a series on a service like Netflix grew frustrated after hitting the limit of episodes easily available to them.
This is why I torrent. The content is too fucking slow and limited on netflix and other streaming services. Not only that but as the article states the shit isn't centralized at all. I'm not paying 5 different services $20 a month to watch everything 2 years after it's been released.

I HATE it when movies and tv do this shit. Christ, it's so fucking distracting and it fucks with the pacing of the scene so much.

I can't remember the name of it, but there was a tv show I was watching, one of those generic modern CSI shows, and there was a jump cut just about every second. Not even an exaggeration. There wasn't a cut that lasted more than maybe 3 seconds. I think it was the first time I ever noticed that sort of thing because even then, I saw it and recognized how terrible it was.

I bet you feel embarrassed right now.

They abandon or do they acquire them by means that isn't well tracked?

>when you don't even read the article

I've never seen a thread here I was less interested in.

no...i havnt had a TV in 8 years. I just have the internet. Everything is on youtube or free streamers.

this for you too:

Sorry what, I stopped reading halfway. Can you tl;dr?

creates unnecessary tension
handlheld camera, constant zooms in and out, and frequent cutting... """"TENSION""""

Death to the cable box.

the problem is that you cant have one global planetary platform with everything ever filmed on it, because then you would have no industry. The industry lives from there being multiple platforms which compete for the best licenses and rights to shows. Thats how show producers and creators and actors make money.

Good.

There's already been many series I started to watch on Netflix, only to later realize that it lacks the last seasons or half of final season. It's fucking ridiculous.

Or maybe those shows aren't worth the effort?

I hate Gen Z as much as anyone but this is entirely the distributor's fault. Why should I have to create 10 different accounts across 10 different platforms across 10 different paywalls just to watch something to used to get on TV for free?

If the mighty internet can't make things easier to access than flipping the old channel switch then people are RIGHT to look for alternatives.

There's no way this is unique to millennials

The worst is when it's absolutely unnecessary. You can watch a terribly edited action scene or even the Roots clip that you posted and tell what you were going for. There is action in something like this, at least:

youtube.com/watch?v=gCKhktcbfQM

As fucking awful as that was, it's even worse when everyone is just standing there talking and the editing is all over the place, just like that. It's just a bullshit way of creating tension.

I've never seen a thread I was less interested in.

...so if there was just one global platform with everything, that platform would nit have to pay a lot to have shows, which would mean that production companies would not earn enough to make shows...see how this works? its actually a big dilema for the industry, because no-one wants to have to pay for 3 or 4 seperate platform subscriptions. But then...how can the industry function?

I stopped watching a couple of shows this season because they stopped showing up next day on Hulu. No shame whatsoever.

Eh, finally something else I can thank Millennials for other than millennial-aged girls hungry for my superior dick because all "men" their age are some kind of soft numale

>consuming visual media in 2016

All the steaming shit on the Apple TV in my house

>Netflix
>Amazon Prime
>Hulu
>HBO Now
>FX Now
>USA Now
>Starz
>Showtime
>Crackle
>ESPN

Plus a ton of random shit I've never heard of

The new NCIS episodes have this out of the ass along with five thousand quips per minute

Proof millennials are headline readers

No streaming service has even close to a fll range of conent.

Torrents are the same as streaming, it's free and you can watch literally anything available on any other platform, ever, for free, with no ads. How could any service ever hope to match that. There's no way in hell I'm spending 20 minutes on ads per episode of a show.

Gee, one good reason to stop torrenting might be that it's ILLEGAL

>people don't watch shows they can't watch

... uh

So is traveling at a speed 1 mph over the speed limit.

Millennials years are considered between 1980 – 2000

Millenials are retards who think Bush killed more people than Stalin

They can watch it's just a bitch to get to them

>Call your cable provider and they'll give you a password so you can register your FX Go app!
>I'll pass.

Yes, everything is our fault and totally not the boomers fault.

There are no intellectually challenging TV shows, and few movies.

>point out a very specific flaw in our generation

>"OH SO EVERYTHING IS OUR FAULT HU, WELL LIKE ITS DADS FAULT IM SUCH A LOSER ANYWAY!

political correctness and the self esteem movement were a mistake

Sounds like some boomers are getting triggered as fuck

>OMG MILLENNIALS ARE THE WORST

Stop making shitty shows

/thread

That's not even a "flaw", that's an issue with distribution

>A streaming service backed by every network/studio that had literally everything that wasn't in theaters.

How much would you pay monthly?

Man fuck you. I was generation X for the first 10 years of my life, then Y for 10 years once they shifted the cutoff, then suddenly the term "millennial" starts trending, I think they're talking about people born after 95, as they'll spend their entire development in the nightmare that is the post-millennium, knowing nothing but iphones and internet, then suddenly people are like "no, you are the millennials."

20+ year generation gaps are idiotic considering how drastically everything has changed in the last 30 years.

about 80 or so

almost as much as cable companies expect me to pay for something that's 30% ads

>show is behind paywall
>torrent it

I have netflix, but if its not on there, its torrent time.

0, which is what I pay now.
