Same deal with F1, couldnt renew my F1 sub without getting apple TV. Ive never owned an apple product in my life, not gonna sub to their garbage. Bye F1tv.
What really pisses me off is having lived in Las Vegas, where they shut the whole Strip and a bunch of surrounding areas down for this race. Not sure if they do it every time but they also shut down the famous Bellagio fountains and covered the view with ugly scaffolding!
For the race itself, not only can you only watch it via a subscription stream, they also block off any local infrastructure with a view, such as the pedestrian bridges, so that the only eyes able to actually see the thing happen in our own city on our own streets paid ~$2000 for the privilege.
The classism on display is insane. The city is all about entertaining the obscenely wealthy globalist class, and the people that make it all run are serfs.
F1 is enshittified boring shit anyway.
While it pains me to mention reddit, a certain sub has allowed me to watch basically any region or subscription locked broadcast for F1 and IMSA event I've wanted for a while. Just need to make sure the ad blocker is up. There is zero chance I'm subbing to Peacock to watch a handful of sportscar races throughout the year
I agree, I dislike the vendor lock-in. But to be fair, you don't have to own an Apple product to watch Apple TV Plus, and honestly, some of their content is quite good. Roku and even a PS5 can stream content from that network. That being said, the vendor lock-in is reason enough to boycott them.
