Kind of ironic that an article about anonymity wanted me to provide my email address and remove anonymity in order to read it.

I love this so much because it’s so absolutely chaotic, but it’s also not too far off.

Hear me out!

You’re cooking Mac and cheese, and you put on some breadcrumbs or panko to give the dish some texture—cool, cool.

A knob of cream cheese, assuming you’re already having a mix of cheeses, that could give some creaminess to the mix and it doesn’t sound that bad—dare I say even potentially good?!

But the thought of a savory cheesecake with pasta in it is also just so revolting I can’t help but hate it. Visually even I think the robots did a great job here, and I still hate it.

Overall, love it. Whoever thought this up, kudos.

That was kind of my thought too. These people were offering a subscription based service that people were paying for. This shows pretty conclusively that people are willing to pay for content when it is conveniently packaged. When it’s broken apart and fragmented, piracy and alternative consumption method become more appealing.

Could you imagine if the music industry operated in the same way? Instead of choosing whether to use Spotify, Apple Music, etc, you needed to have both just to consume a relatively small collection of popular music? That would be madness—and it’s madness for film and television content as well.
