I think it sucks and is plain old greed like every company has. I live here so as long I can get it for nothing then whatever. If I couldn't then hit the casino bar or regular bar.

I just dropped the stupid NFL+, which I had to buy for the Germany game, but it came with NFL Network. I'd pick it up again for a day if I could hide from the live game on stupid peacock and watch an hour later. |

Maybe your approach is far different than mine, but even if I'm not watching games with a group, I've got a half dozen people texting me, I'm on ChiefsPlanet and Twitter, etc. And there is absolutely zero chance that I'd be able to make it to the next day without having the ending spoiled. It would completely ruin the entire experience of football for me, and it's hard for me to understand how it wouldn't do the same for others. |

You are missing the entire point. Yes, it is a bit of a pain in the ass when you could just pay the $5.99. But the point is to maybe put yourself out just a little bit(it isn't that hard) and hopefully they will not try this shit in the future.

For a long time, I never seemed to have the same issues as others, but on my laptop recently, espn+ streams have a huge memory leak that crashes Chrome in like 10 minutes (Firefox is slightly better), and I have a lot more buffering issues on a Fire stick and scaling down to 6 pixels without it ever improving back... and then for them to have never improved on their skipping forward/backwards to make it like YouTubeTV is pretty terrible, plus the Fire stick interface when looking for content is pretty bad (the list view from my laptop is far better). OK, so maybe YouTubeTV. |

This playoff game has more than paid for itself in free advertising. All of the people whining on social media just makes it a better investment. The number of people who are willing to pay $6 to watch a game they would have to pay hundreds of dollars to see in person far outnumbers those who won't pay the $6. |

I have it. I pay for it because the Big 12 forces me to and because it was cheaper for me to do all 3 (Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+) than it was for me to do it the way I was doing it before. But I'm not happy about it. I despise ESPN+ and everything about it. I will buy a lifetime subscription to Peacock Super + Extreme (or whatever the non ad version is called) if ESPN+ dies a painful death never to return. |

Peacock exclusive playoff game is stupid

I recently watched the entire series of parks and rec on Philo. It plays on some channel, IFC, so you can watch anytime with ads or click save and when the shows are actually airing you can then go back watch without ads (for a few weeks or maybe more not sure) with one click commercial skipping. |
