Get ready to pay more for Netflixâs priciest plan.
Subscribers to Netflixâs Basic and Premium plans will be paying more, with prices rising to $11.99 and $22.99 per month in the US.
Netflix announced that itâs password crackdown âexceeded expectationsâ
I am so disappointed in you, US consumer.
I canceled my Netflix when this happened. I wasnât really using it, but friends and family were. At least three of them created their own accounts when I canceled mine.
Of course theyâre going to say that. They wonât provide hard data to prove it, but by saying it they can keep doing it and make it look like a positive PR move.
Theyâre a publicly-traded company, of course theyâre going to provide hard data to prove it: https://d18rn0p25nwr6d.cloudfront.net/CIK-0001065280/62b73aad-65fc-436d-9ab9-d622dc3eb462.pdf#page=12
I cancelled after the last hike, and my family has access to my plex server with great quality and reliability, and a simple request system. But they barely use it. They just got their own Netflix after I cancelled the one we shared that I was paying for.
Finally got fiber at my home and created many accounts for my family on my emby server. Wanted to give them access to my overseer server but I donât trust itâs very secure. I will just let them access it and make requests when they visit.
Do you use sonarr/radarr/jackett? I canât seem to find any good indexers that actually work
Sonarr radarr prowlarr
Accounts with IPTorrents, AlphaRatio, and TorrentLeech
All my stuff comes from them
Iâve been doodling around with Plex and sonarr in a Docker setup on my Linux box, but Iâve run into some issues that I canât figure out. Any good resources to recommend for creating the optimal setup?
I canât say I know of a good single resource, Iâve learned a lot about docker and linux over the years just googling and trying things. There are now a number of scripts and docker-compose setups that will get everything set up for you with little effort.
My setup is using docker containers running on the UnRaid OS. UnRaid makes docker deployment slightly easier, but it requires that a docker container also include a custom config file that allows it to be configured via unraidâs webui. Iâve found this limiting from time to time, when I find dockers that I want to use, but couldnât install via the webui. So I learned a bit about using docker from the command line, which actually wasnât all that hard. Especially with docker-compose.
One issue in particular that took a minute to figure out with docker, if you need the containers to talk to eachother, you have to be aware that certain types of docker network connections will not automatically see the other containers, even if both containers are connected to your home network.
Just stick with Plex/Jellyfin + any and all apps ending with *arr (aka the *arr stack).
Either they blatantly lie about the outcome of the password crackdown or they see no issues at all to showcase how mind-bogglingly greedy they are. I think Iâve read this week they claim that subscriptions increased by 6 million worldwide. Youâd think that is enough increase in revenue for a while, but no, letâs increase prices now. Weird timing imo, unless theyâre testing how far they can go
Yes what a bunch of dolts paying for the services they use instead of mooching off of others.
Right? Bunch of suckers paying for services. Everything should be free. Everyone should work for me and expect nothing in return.
Netflix announced that starting today, users on its $9.99 per month Basic plan will now have to pay $11.99, and those paying $19.99 per month for Premium will have to pay $22.99
Thatâs insane. The only way those price hikes could possibly be justified is if the majority of movie/show creators had their catalogues available on Netflix. But they donât because everyone and their mother wants their own fucking streaming service, ruining streaming for everyone.
No thanks. I got a library card and access to my entire countyâs book/audio-book/movie/show catalogue for free through Libby and Hoopla. As for everything else I canât find there⌠Yarr.
âAs we deliver more value to our members, we occasionally ask them to pay a bit more,â
But youâre not doing the first half, so you canât do the second halfâŚ
Adding 100 shows that no one is gonna watch is apparently âadding valueâ. Incidentally, this new season of Love is Blind is fucking garbage. Very clearly scripted with actors.
Would you rather it be completely unscripted filmed with bums off the street?
Edit: didnât think the /s was needed folks
Bye bye Netflix. Onward to the high seas.
The only reason I keep it is because my son watches Number blocks and other educational videos there. But I did downgrade from 4K to HD and Iâll likely downgrade again at the next price hike.
Or you can download all of your kids shows and host it on a Plex or jellyfin server for them.
Piracy is always a service issue. It never went away, and it will never go away. Why should I spend the little money I have on a service that repeatedly jacks up prices, while also killing your favorite shows, or losing licences to stream other content?
