Back in 2020, people thought piracy was finished. By 2024, it had returned stronger than ever. The big streaming platforms like Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max made one major mistake: they turned against their own users.
This shift came from rising prices, restrictions on sharing passwords, and entire shows disappearing from libraries. Viewers grew frustrated and started turning back to piracy, sparking a surge that’s now worth over $113 billion.
A new video explores how the golden age of streaming collapsed, why audiences lost trust, and what this growing wave of piracy means for the future of digital entertainment.
An Allentown City Hall employee, LaTarsha Brown, sparked outrage earlier this year when she claimed to have discovered a noose on her desk. The incident drew national attention, with the FBI and local police launching a full investigation amid widespread concern that it was a racially motivated hate crime. City officials condemned the act at the time, and protests quickly followed. But as the investigation went on, forensic testing began to tell a different story. DNA evidence recovered from the noose reportedly matched Brown herself, with no trace of anyone else’s involvement.
Prosecutors later charged Brown with making false reports and fabricating evidence, suggesting she had staged the incident. She eventually admitted to placing the noose, though the reasons remain unclear. Brown avoided a formal conviction by entering Pennsylvania’s Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition programme, which allows first-time offenders to clear their record after meeting certain conditions. She was ordered to pay nearly two thousand dollars to cover the costs of DNA testing and has since left her position with the city. The case, which began as a symbol of racial hostility, has since shifted into a cautionary tale about truth, perception and how quickly public outrage can take shape.
Big Brother is a long-running UK reality TV series where a group of contestants live together in a specially designed house, completely cut off from the outside world, while being filmed around the clock. The show mixes social experiment and competition, as housemates form alliances, clash over daily routines, and face weekly nominations that lead to public votes deciding who leaves. Over the years it’s shifted between playful entertainment and genuine psychological drama, with viewers drawn to the mix of ordinary people, confinement, and constant surveillance to some kind of weird struggle session, whereby people are humiliated for thoughtcrimes.
