I’m never going back (Besides to delete my account).

Lemmy reminds me of when I first joined Reddit. There isn’t a constantly changing frontpage (yet). The communities are smaller, but thats a good thing. I actually want to participate.

I’ve drunk the koolaid. I’m considering starting an instance for my personal professional community that I lost since the pandemic.

Mastodon didnt click for me, but neither did twitter even in its hey-day. Just not my cup of tea. But Lemmy does.

Similarly, There’s a similar show from the early 2000s called The Joe Schmo Show. Recommend checking it out (Seasons 1 and 2 are worth watching for sure).

I think the pricing scheme Netflix announced was somewhat reasonable (an additional $8/month per “remote” subscriber) for middle class America. And they implemented the ability to transfer your profile to a new account. Also, the new “lower” ad supported tier as an attractive option for others probably attracted some to stay even through the inflation/cost-of-living crisis.

That being said, I bet it’s a short bump in monthly numbers, and Netflix subscriber numbers will revert back to slowing/decreasing.

The problem isn’t Netflix itself, it’s the whole industry (Hulu, MAX, Prime, Paramount+, Peacock, and on and on).
