      Jellyfin is king. Plex is corporate-in-waiting, wishing it could have infinite growth infinitely. Jellyfin is just some people makin a thing.

    1. Make a decent video streaming service
    2. Lure users with low prices and fairly high quality content
    3. Realize other companies want part of the cake too
    4. Pretend you have a monopoly, so increase prices and lower the average quality of new content
    5. People use alternative ways to access video streaming content, that’s also more convenient because they don’t have to have a gazillion different apps on their smart device to stream video
    6. Surprised Pikachu
    7. Repeat steps 4-6
    8. Repeat step 7
    9. Repeat step 7-8
    10. Die a slow death?

    Is there anywhere one can find a list of popular or good content available on Netflix at any current time?

    Sucks for those still using it, I guess. This was always gonna be the case. Capitalism is infinite growth and they will do whatever they can show numbers going up to their shareholders, even as they’re hemorrhaging money. Short term gains that will lead to long term losses. Sustainable profit is not the goal; growth at all costs is. You reap what you sow Netflix, you big turd.

      If by “support the writers” you mean, “Netflix doesn’t want to let the writers pay hike lower their earnings or executive pay.”

      Then yeah, it’s to support the writers.
