After quitting i feel like im missing out on nothing. I sail the seas if i actually need anything, and it probably wasn’t on netflix anyway
I never had Netflix. Or any streaming subscription. I considered it once, several years ago, but I couldn’t justify it at prices then, and I sure as shit won’t waste my money now. I’ll help them save their bandwidth.
I didn’t mind the small increase to 11.99, but the way they’re doing this just rubs me the wrong way.
They’re not only increasing the sub price, but tinkering with the display quality too AND laying people off… Netflix just doesn’t deserve my cash when I can access most of this content via other means.
I got rid of a bunch of subs at the beginning of the year, getting rid of NF too.
I had Netflix and Hulu about 10 years ago and it was worth it. Then I dropped Netflix and got Prime. Dropped Prime and Hulu then did Disney+ bundle…that was good but now I sail the seas with friends. So much better. So many movies and shows I would have missed out on.
Price increase alone isn’t enshittification. But the amount and quality of what they offer is dropping at the same time.
And yet, they got 13 million new subscribers last 3 months
Gross or net?
I think of it like those people are subsidizing my free content.
If no one subscribes, we don’t get Love, Death and Robots season
34!Ooh boy, do I have some good news for you!
Ahaha, dang I got so excited before google pointed out I’m an idiot and meant season 4. (But on the other hand, did find out it was renewed for a 4th, so that’s groovy!)
What they don’t advertise is how many of those “new” subscribers are actually from their “emerging” markets such as India, where a subscription price is peanuts. Also, im fairly certain these numbers are intentionally skewed to paint a better picture as they lump in all the “free” accounts people get with their other subscriptions.
I get Paramount+ free with Walmart+. I get Hulu/Netflix/AppleTV with Tmobile Mobile. I get Max with ATT Fiber.
I’m sure that these streaming companies have more new subscribers when they literally give it away and simultaneously strangling their existing consumers. It’s more of a question of how long is it sustainable for them to raise prices every time they’re not going to have a record quarter.
Why can’t people live without Netflix? Don’t they have a job, a family, OR a hobby?
I am honestly confused…
I think I’m going to buy one of those sketchy streaming boxes with thousands of channels.
That or learn how to download and host my own content.
Anyone have any thoughts or ideas?
Edit: just realized what sub I’m in. Guess I better start reading up.
Buy PIA VPN. Look up a guide to setup Plex, radarr, sonarr, and jackett. You can get fancier once you’re comfortable with how everything works
Stremio and if you got time + hardware jellyfin, then like ever base is covered
Like the commenter below said, Streamio is the answer. We use Streamio with Torrentio plug in running on a cheap windows PC and its been very good so far.
Don’t. They usually have annoying line of sight remotes, buffer all the time, and try to send spam email in your name.
I wish there was something like this but in Czech language
A NAS or an old PC for hosting Plex and I’m not sure if Nvidia is still updating the Nvidia Shield TV, that one was one if not the best Android TV box
Can’t enshittificate our torrent clients 🤷
µTorrent would like a word
Who still uses that garbage? qBittorent is the same thing except theres no adware or spyware.
qBittorrent is great
Still rocking 2.2.1 Don’t think I’ll ever be able to upgrade
Here here!
I wouldn’t subscribe to Netflix if it saved their families from cancer. Stop fucking increasing your prices while you decrease service.
This chart should show the inverse correlation of the length of their series.
Well i have kind of needed a last straw… This should do it
Even then I’ll still pirate
