It’s not even surprising anymore platforms do this & act all Pikachu face why piracy is spiking
Netflix & all these streaming platforms have completely lost touch & they will lose more customers in the long run
To quote Gabe Newell on Piracy
“We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate’s service is more valuable.”
I accidentally pirate crap I have legitimate access to because I can’t be bothered to figure out which damn platform its on. I have access to quite a few through work due to my industry at no out of pocket costs.
The times I try to actually search for something, it’ll be listed on multiple platforms but 0 to 1 of those platforms will actually have what I’m looking for included with the subscription forcing me to manually check each one.
It is easier to just pirate.
Your case would apply for the legitimate use of streamio, where you can log into all the services and you can watch whatever through that service’s credentials.
What services can I connect to Stremio? Max?
I have never used the intended features (torrentio ftw) but in this page they have a stack of app icons. There’s prime video, netflix, HBO, disney…
Rotten Tomatoes will usually say where it’s streaming. Or a quick Google search of “(TV show) where streaming” will get you there. At least it used to, Google is shit these days so who knows.
Justwatch.com is my go to
Cerement linked it in their comment
they first succeeded in curbing piracy before the moved to ruining the value of their offerings.
Because i aint spending 3 figures a month on 5+ different sports streaming services to follow one team. Simple.
They have billions of dollars i have hundreds. I’m sure they’ll survive me not giving them any of my hard earned money
Yeah but for a publicly traded company, quarterly growth is the name of the game. If the numbers go down long enough, it’s game over for them.
Fuck em
…with a baseball bat covered in nails. Rusty nails.
it’s game over for them
Hopefully.
The only thing that keeps me with subscriptions is the cartoons my daughter watches, because they are hard to find dubbed in my language (Portuguese). It’s still more convenient to subscribe than try to find the dubbed cartoons online. For everything I watch I use my arr stack.
Depending on her age of course… But you can find SRT (subtitle) files for literally almost everything, often in dozens of languages. They’re super tiny too since it’s basically just a txt file
Customers will notice the change on their next bill. Netflix has quietly put up its prices across each subscription tier in Australia.
Why is this even legal, oh who am I kidding lobbying most likely.They began notifying people on May 13. Thanks for the correction @[email protected].I get Netflix for free from tmobile. But I use real-debrid and streamio to watch Netflix shows because the UI is better.
I just pay Netflix because of guilty conscience. There was nothing interesting to watch in the last months.
