Which occasionally has unexpected consequences. The licensing of the music on certain movies didn't anticipate the internet. And the studios never came to an agreement. As a result you can buy DVDs of movies like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Fair_Lady and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullets_Over_Broadway , but you can't rent them off of any streaming service.

If so, then that is new and welcome.

A couple of years ago it wasn't true. I know because I tried to watch both and not a single streaming service, including Amazon, had it.

Foone is not the only one expressing this sentiment. Here's another recent example:

> oh shit it's hacker news / I've heard that people from the orange VC site are linking to this post! You are absolutely not welcome here. Cohost is not a place for you. Your site is full of sexism and racism that you can't report to the main moderator because he approves of it. / you are bad and you hang out with white supremacists. please leave.

You should have more empathy for people, and rather than diagnose someone expressing a negative opinion about this community with mental illness, assume you might lack the necessary context with which to interpret their frustration.

It's not pure mental illness. To many, this site is a pox on our society.
