Netflix says people just kind of rolled over and accepted the password sharing crackdown::Netflix subscriptions are up almost 6 million this quarter, suggesting we’re all just too exhausted to fight this stuff
well done everyone
I had a feeling they would but I did leave myself. Only problem is the person I was sharing with made an account so it was a net 0 impact.
I get the feeling that the kind of person that is on Lemmy is the kind of person that ain’t gonna take no shit and drop it just to stick to the man. I myself dropped Netflix but seems to be a common theme here.
The kind of person on lemmy is probably already self hosting a plex server that has all the content they care about and sharing it with their inner circle
I dropped them shortly after 4k hit $20 a month. They don’t have shit thats worth that.
I know the feeling. I hate Netflix with a passion but my SO uses it. I have a Plex server full of stuff and constantly adding and showed her how. I cancel Netflix every month though 😂 can usually make it a day or 2 passed when it was supposed to renew before she uses it again and resubscribes.
I don’t really get the “fighting” part. Don’t like it, don’t buy it.
I once refused to buy an iPhone because of Apple’s closed ecosystem and legal battles with competitors. And, well…
I used to be the same way, and I believed in Google’s vision of “don’t be evil” and making a mobile os that unified all kinds of devices all around the world. But now I’m finally considering getting the next iphone as Google makes it clearer every day that their products exists to comodotize me and my data (and also now I’ve gotten to a place in life where I can afford buying into apples closed ecosystem)
Why are people so dumb… They treat us bad? Let’s throw more money on them.
People are dumb, but moreso they are lazy and want to be entertained rather than self improve. You can teach yourself how to create your own Netflix in a day but most people would rather endlessly scroll content that makes them feel envious or angry because that seems easier than learning something new.
I really want to see your “nailed it” post for that learned-to-make-Netflix-in-a-day alternative.
If you could learn to build a 194-billion-market-cap company, or even just build such a company… you probably wouldn’t be here.
Voting with your wallet doesn’t work when there are so many other wallets out there that don’t care.
I mean that’s the point of voting. Sensibility got outvoted unfortunately
