It’s like they are trying to irritate people into canceling their accounts.
Imo, this one might actually be worse than the account sharing and cause people to quit. As soon as you have people messing around with their subscription version, it’s all too easy to just say “nah, I actually don’t want this anymore”.
I already dipped. By the time I cancelled I wasn’t using the service enough to justify paying for it monthly, anyways.
Me, too. In my country, I’m paying the equivalent of 13€ for Disney, Amazon, HBO and SkyShowtime combined. And although Netflix has some good shows, it’s nowhere near enough to rival all of these together - no way I’m paying 10€/mo. just for it. Guess I’ll pirate the few I actually miss.
I had actually thought about signing up for the basic plan because it is just me who likes it, but I was put off by the low quality.
Well - I guess now I’ll be officially sticking to Plex.
Most people I know will be subscribed to one streaming service and switch every few months to get the shows they want. I’m expecting most streaming services to become a lot more “user hostile” as they try to squeeze out every penny.
Piracy my beloved🏴☠️
Oh my show is no longer available on my paid subscription? It’s still right here on my server.
That’s the thing that’s always bothered me about the online services. Sure, I can “buy” a movie or series or whatever, but I only have actual access to it so long as I still subscribe, the service has rights, and I have access (like, if I’m on a plane or ship, suddenly I can’t watch something).
If I download a copy, it’s mine for as long as the physical media lasts. I can keep it theoretically forever, I can put copies on my phone or the cloud, stream to my computer, my cousin’s tv, whatever.
When I was a poor kid I pirated, went to paying as a working adult, now I am back to buying random DVDs at thirftshops but if they keep this clown thing up, I will sail. These clowns have hard time understanding who controls the money flows here, shiti video streaming service is not a monopoly/utility…
It’s been a while since I last has Netflix. I found myself looking through their selection with nothing enticing me to watch. I don’t know how people keep it for years. Did you always find something you liked?
