(this is from a report by @anatomymedia on ad blocking and tv piracy, melodramatically entitled "Millennials At The Gate")
Not an Aged Care newsletter?
pssst Firefox mobile supports plugins, so you can block ads on your phone/tablet

user experience is god! content availability #1! so let's figure out how to force ads
they have this huge fuckin study of potential customers and then just ignore them. why are these people in business
thanks, striminals. thtriminals.
reports like this are great because they show the increasingly desperate attempts of old media to get their heads round modern kids
guess I'm a young rebel, or Yebel, now.
*sigh* portmanteaus suck.
was this self-reporting?
90% of males millennials hav giant penis

allegedly millenial as a phrase refers to anyone born post 1980, so if the older ones are 36, then yeah there'd be 'young'
the oatmeal comic tho!...same for everything; music, games, tv, movies. Paying customers get punished...
also the quality from legal sources is often fucking garbage
i've paid for HD stuff on amazon and paid for streaming services and then the quality is often trash
when the choice is "perfect quality and free" vs "shitty quality and paid" then, well...
really sucks for when i want to pay to support something i like and they give me no good choices :/
watching one right now tbh
Cooth Striminal
now strealing in HD
I WAS WORRIED NO ONE HAD MADE THIS JOKE
Not on my damn watch.
Buddy, this is what I came here for
Michael Jackson: "You've been hit by, struck by, what I call a 'smoominal'."
Good. I could watch some strimi.
snake people
or what we call
"Sneople"
you've been hit by you've been struck by
person is too excited to try to coin a term
strilleminals, surely
try new Toaster Striminals
I think they mean 69% of young millenials use YouTube, Pandora + others; and 60% use their parent's Netflix, Hulu, etc
You've been struck by, a smooth striminal!
Not to be confused with "smoominals", or smooth millennial criminals.
If many media providers didn't make it so difficult to access their products, people wouldn't go elsewhere to find it.
easy to mock when you're a *checks best practice guide* ... Knock-off Nigel?
Are Millienials ruining shitty geo-locked streaming media policies? [Gods, I hope so]
with 4G you can be a smooth striminal..... #GetMyCoat
Won't somebody please think of the strildren?
it doesn’t help that the what, when, and where aren’t often provided by the companies that produce the content.
and we are always going to get it because we are good at internets
NO. WE DO NOT CALL THEM STRIMINALS.
strime is strimulating
at first: "haha good one, no one would actually pen that"
but then
69% of millennials are the sex number
You've been watched by, you've been streamed by, a cool striminal
Hahahahaha 69 though. (Appropriate reaction? I think so. *goes back to illegal streaming or whatever*)
nice
This needs a Law and Order SVU @FINALLEVEL ("Ice T") Meme like no other.
what's your reason for watching movies while drawing stuff on Picarto.tv?
Gotham belongs to #striminals
this is the stupidest campaign ever. Thanks MPAA.
You'll love this one, Joe.
striminals
I'm excited for the new Internet Crime Drama where a team of experts tracks down "Striminals"
my mom was watching a show like that and they were talking about ICQ in the most serious way like chill it's ICQ
You wouldn't download a car...
stop right there striminal scum
This
cannot
be real
I'm pulling a "replace your reality w/ my own" & saying no, we have not reached this point.
STRIMINAL LYFE
Stop trying to make striminals happen, Gretchen!
where is this from? It's amazing!
I'm younger than I thought then!
You've been hit by
You've been struck by
A smooth striminal
Who is this mysterious "we" who is alleged to call them that?
correction: 69% of young millennials are broke
they might be able to avoid this issue if they didn't make people wait weeks or even months to stream legally.
STRAPISTS? STREDOPHILES?
God damn, they really hate the idea of freedom. Like that is the main takeaway. @hilare_belloc
Not as though they work, how would they pay?
That's right. Fuck Comcast.
you would appreciate this @hilare_belloc @milkohol
Somehow that's worse than "Sneeple" for "Snake People"
Only 69%? Wow.
69 huh
oh fuck they found that millennials use youtube
Also known as YouTube users?
You've been hit by
You've been struck by
A smooth striminal
Annie are you ok??
The sad irony is that the song was illegally downloaded by smooth striminals.
mate you’ve outdone yourself
do i know you?? Jk
I have never - and I mean NEVER - heard the term "striminals" before :|
think they hoped it'll catch on. Doubt it
coming soon: "Striminal Minds"
Striminal Minds new on CBS
you've been hit by... you've been struck by...A Smooth Stiminal
How about giving the video industry a huge middle finger?
"69%"
nice
Also the word "striminals" is a bigger crime against the human race than any illegal streaming.
nice
*Fiona Apple voice*
🎵 What I need

You've been hit by, you've been struck by, a smooth striminal
That's happened to me before - it's really painful gardenmachinesltd.co.uk/ekmps/shops/ga…
hahaha <3
sorry that we are knowledgeable enough to not pay $50/month for cable + $50/month for internet + $50 for the HBO package
because if you think I'm paying $150/month to watch Game of Thrones you're out your godamn mind
WHATCHA GONNA DO ABOUT IT OLD MAN
that sounds like that snake people meme omg I goose that's a joke
welcome to the new normal, entertainment companies. Deal with it
too many syllables
you've been hit by, you've been struck by, a smooth striminal...
or what we call "smoostriminals"
the tronc of the underworld
my favorite Eminem song
cause I'm a STRIMINAL
69%? Nice
What's funnier? Striminals or the fact that the generation before me introduced me to Internet piracy?
STOP RIGHT THERE, YOU STRIMINAL SCUM!
What do you call that feeling when you have cringe exhaustion, but additional cringe causes to lose health points?
First they came for the bar soap, and I said nothing.
heheheh, 69%
The tall, thin ones, generally the most wily, are known to those in the crime biz as "strallthiniminals."
*bleeds from the eyes*
the way they say "they watch what they want, when they want" sounds so petulant.
strilleminals
not calling them 'criminal streamers' or 'creamers' is a missed opportunity IMO
they watch dumb ass movies for free, and the cops can't even arrest them
Dat sex number tho…
A "whopping" 60%. Golly, that sure is a lot.
"Why do people use Ad Blockers?" "To avoid Ads" is supposed to be some sort of deep insight into our evil brains
It’s ridiculous to imply that this is criminal activity. Instead, how about USUC (“Users of Streamed Unauthorized Content”)?
