That’s the thing. The back room deal there is the fact that MLB is pimping their customers. We fit a desirable demographic and the main value generation that Apple and Peacock are deriving for their (likely considerable) payment to MLB is contact lists. MLB support will cheerily say that signing up on these platforms to watch the game is super low cost or free but, if something is free, you are the commodity that is being bought and sold.
Yes. It sucks. It is a boulder on the mountain of modern annoyances. I drew the line at paramount plus, but the point is valid wherever anyone chooses to place it.
