This is a "BlockBuster laughs Netflix out of the room" moment. I am a huge fan of QEMU and used it throughout my career. The maintainers have every right to govern their project as they see fit. But this is a lot of mental gymnastics to justify clinging to punchcards in a world where we now have magnetic tape and keyboards to do things faster. This tech didn't spawn weeks ago. Every major project has had at least two years to prepare for this moment.

Pull your pants up.

I'm not sure that's the dunk you think it is. Good for Netflix for making money, but we're drowning in their empty slop content now and worse off for it.

Who is forcing you to watch slop? And mind you, there was a TON of garbage at any local Blockbuster back in the day, with the added joy of having to go somewhere to rent it, being slapped with late and rewind fees or not even have availability of what you want to watch.

Choice is good. It means more slop, but also more gold. Figure out how to find the gold.
