So can they stream live footage of tortured children from the anti-gay conversion camps they help fund? Maybe make people think twice about buying food there?
So it sounds like nobody in this thread looked at the actual article.
This isn’t chic-fil-a. It’s the homophobic bigoted billionaire asshole who has turned a town south of atlanta georgia to a 2.7 billion dollar movie making industry by building a movie making compound. He’s trying to usurp hollywood. His studios have been the filming location for many major blockbuster movies in the past several years.
The article even mentions that the guy has sold 200 homes to the tune of 110 million dollars right by the studios so obviously he’s diversifying beyond chicken.
If there’s a market for christian shit i’m sure he’ll capture it, but i’m sure they will focus on what sells. Maybe they will try to be the epic games of streaming services where they undercut the competition by hiring cheaper labor and taking a smaller cut from the people who pay to use the studios the guy owns.
Unlike steam, nobody loves netflix, disney, hbo or any of the awful streaming services there are now. Even crunchyroll which is a bargain has a fucking awful app and streaming quality issues. Since you don’t “own” the movies on the platform you rent access to there’s no lock-in or cult following like there is with steam. Because of all this… people will go to whoever provides the best service.
Seems you read an entirely different article…
Chick-fil-A is reportedly launching a
but that is apparently what Chick-fil-A (yes, the fast food chain) is planning to do.
Deadline reports that Chick-fil-A is
Chick-fil-A has yet to announce or publicly comment
All the article OP posted mentions, beyond saying Chick-fil-A is doing this, is:
But it feels important to bear in mind that Chick-fil-A is owned by the Cathy family, whose independently managed trust was instrumental in the foundation of Trilith Studios – the Atlanta studio most well known for its frequent work for Marvel.
I’m not disputing what you’ve said about who’s actually behind this; but to talk down to everyone here like that info was already given to them is rather shitty.
Sounds like they’re trying to compete with Pureflix, which is already a Christian streaming service.
They’re gonna make soooooo much cult money from this.
Makes about as much as Netflix’s current attempts to muscle in on the gaming market, Epic-style.
Why I continue to be surprised by corporate decision-making is beyond me.
At least that halfway makes sense. Netflix on a laptop means games too.
Why I continue to be surprised by corporate decision-making is beyond me.
"THEY MAKE LINE GO UP WITH STUFF.
ME WANT MAKE STUFF MAKE LINE GO UP TOO.
ME MAKE SAME STUFF THEY DO. SPEND BILLIONS TO MAKE LINE GO UP 2%
WHY WE LOSE MONEY?!"
Oh yeah totally, a media streaming company trying to stream different kinds of media is exactly the same as a fucking fast food restaurant getting into media streaming. Did you even read your own comment before hitting submit?
LoL
You emphasised the word exactly but op didn’t say that. Did you read his comment before hitting submit?
They already run what seems to be every other post on Reddit, so why not streaming, too.
Sorry what do you mean by this?
So, you know how Reddit has posts? Well something like 53% of those Reddit posts are posted by chick-fil-a agents for various reasons.
Ever since they won the chicken sandwich wars of the early 20s they’ve been focused on invading media spaces, often quite aggressively.
Reddit is essentially a chicken sandwich propaganda wing of the massive chicken chain at this point, still quite a bit of porn though luckily. Can’t say I’m looking forward to chicken sandwich porn 🤷♂️
They may have won the chicken sandwich wars, but Taco Bell will be the only restaurant to survive the franchise wars.
And with no more competition, they’ll go all fancy. Makes one wonder where you’d be able to get a decent burger anymore.
The sewer people. They’ve got an underground barbecue going.
Burger King already tried the subservient chicken thing.
Advertisers and AI bots have taken over reddit ever since Google made them the new SEO technique.
If you go to Reddit, you will inevitably very quickly come by posts that seem to be from regular users, but are actually fill-a ads.
Funny thing happened and I just happened to be eating their food when I filmed it. We did a thing and it failed at other joints but succeeded at their place. My dog can do a cool thing with their box, etc etc.
It feels like they have an army of as people dedicated to creating this content.
It started soon after they got a lot of bad press for finding anti-LGBTQ organizations. Instead of changing their ways, they decided to change their image through social media posts and largely succeeded. Most people associate their brand with good times now, even though they don’t know why.
Much like whenever US police murders someone, Web gets flooded with memes and videos of cops doing fun things and being generally great fun.
So, they are trying to speed run the failure of McDonald’s experiment with Redbox. Instead of creating a massively successful brand that eventually gets bought up and run into the ground by Christian nutjobs, the Christian nutjobs are starting a video business to crater on their own.
Redbox wasn’t a failure. It was actually quite profitable in its day. It just got outclassed by streaming, as did every physical media rental service. I don’t know if Netflix even sends discs out anymore, if they do I’d bet money that it’s severely less than what it once was.
I am completely out of the loop here but I already know someone important screwed up big time
Introducing, from the makers of bigot chicken, bigot TV!
Is it called Flick-fil-A?
They should hire you instead of whoever came up with the bonehead idea of starting a streaming service.
The tops in boys. Short everything. Capitalism has finally reached the endgame.
Chick-fil-A is owned by the Cathy family, whose independently managed trust was instrumental in the foundation of Trilith Studios — the Atlanta studio most well known for its frequent work for Marvel.
Translation, they’re friendly with Perlmutter. Wish that bastard would just up and croak already. Bet you a shiny penny their “feel good” entertainment will have a load of Christian messaging peppered in (read, anti-lgbtq+). Fuck those homophobes and their stupid ass chicken.
Sounds like it’ll be family friendly game shows and Christian reality TV.
Honestly, that might actually be a profitable model they could make work, if they don’t fuck the infrastructure up, or allow cousin Billy to expose himself to female contestants on 3 different reality shows they’re producing.
24/6 live streams of their kitchens, worst series ever
I would watch only to find out if they are secretly renting out their spaces on Sunday as holy ghost kitchens.
Family friendly unscripted programs.
Are we talking '90s Nickelodeon, or real housewives of the rust belt?
We should be so lucky to get 90s Nickelodeon! No, I think the article said it’s going to be mostly original programming so it’s a safe bet whatever it is will be like Hallmark on steroids
I think we’re talking family friendly like Jimmy Swaggart.
Oh wow, this might steal the attention of the five people who watch Pure Flix /s
Steaming Service. For steamed chicken.
