I like Trakt as a concept, I've used it sporadically, but their pricing was always optimistic, even at $30 a year. It has worked for them overall so far because it's a well made project and people like them, but the value proposition of paying $5 a month now for something like Trakt feels crazy. It's hard to look at different types of services at that price point and come to the conclusion that Trakt is comparable. There are actual streaming services creating some of the shows that show up on Trakt that are very similar in price (Dropout as a good example).
Only rational thing I can think of with this recent decision is that they're tired of running Trakt and hoping to sell it off or close it up.
I like the fantasy and I wish that's where we were at, but please just give me a boring middle aged white guy. The people who love AOC the most apparently just aren't going to show up at the polls in numbers. It's a problem we've been talking about since I was the one not voting and we were blaming it on the way they treated green party candidates (I know, probably even longer). There's a new excuse every few years, but there always is one and it doesn't look like it's changing any time soon.
Please, let's throw the old people a bone and give them an easy choice so we all don't have to suffer again. I hate having to think about 'electable' too, but let's just do that astronaut guy they were pushing for Harris' running mate, they'd love that guy.
