Our runners-up, quoted below, will receive a $25 Starbucks gift card for sharing submissions that were thoughtful, and thought-provoking. “The notion that only a specific group of people — those with the resources and the privilege to afford OTT subscriptions — should be allowed to access said content goes against the whole reason for this art form existing in the first place.” -Neeti Joshi, New York University “In my generation, sharing something such as television passcodes shows the value of trust and community. So why take that away?” -Kennedy Hardemion, San Francisco State University “Next time I log into my friend's brother's girlfriend's HBO account, I will take a long look in the mirror and wonder if this is worth being labeled a cheater. Odds are I will be okay with this new label, as I am dying to see Watchman...” -Sarah Lovejoy, Colgate ’19 “If the sale of a single subscription that will be used by, say, three people results in a sale, then that’s a better business model than somehow managing to enforce one-account-one-person and potentially alienating far more paying individuals who would have otherwise signed up for an account they intend to share.” -Charles Christiansen, Iowa State “If you want to improve television advertising, show us ourselves again - the almost broke, the biracial, the non-binary, and the imperfectly beautiful people we so often are.” -Kristen Day, Purdue University “There’s validity in the annoyance that acomes with someone requesting access to your OTT service account (free of charge) when you’re single-handedly coughing up the money to cover those monthly fees. It’s a similar feeling to when you’ve pulled an all-nighter trying to finish an assignment and your friend (who was fast asleep by 9pm sharp) asks if they can copy your work.” -Alexis Stackhouse, Syracuse University “Paid product placement, in the form of investment dollars, should become more elegantly and intelligently woven throughout all types of content. Streaming content, specifically, is ripe for this type of collaboration.” -Pietro David D’Allessio, Full Sail University “Despite me being lucky enough to have my sister’s Netflix account (thanks sis)...if me having someone's Netflix account means I might end up losing shows and movies that I enjoy very much then yeah...consumers are losing.” -Alexander Sanchez, Penn State “While there will continue to be password sharing and cheating, perhaps some of the newer members of the streaming squad will consider offering extended ‘family’ or ‘friends plans’ in which several people can pool their money in order to receive sign-ins, but reducing the cost overall.” -Jakob Eiseman, LaSalle University
