They aren’t selling you one thing and giving consumers another. You may care little for consumers getting swindled by big media conglomerates and tech companies, but others will take a different view.
They’re promising massive libraries of content to watch at your convenience and naming many of these series in their advertising.
Sky telling you, for example, “that the final series of Succession starts in March” carries with it expectations that consumers clearly know and understand.
