Netflix is my last bastion of legit media. I was only using Netflix for a number of years and reduced the amount of new media I downloaded to nothing.
I never bought into all the additional services that popped up after it, like Apple and Disney, and just reverted to downloading for the stuff that wasn’t available anymore.
I still pay for Netflix though. I pay for myself and my Mum as an additional account. I also pay for a friend from another country so I effectively have 2.5x subs to premium Netflix.
If they add ads, then I’m done with all the bullshit and will just download 100%.
I will never understand why Netflix or Spotify dont just chill out a little.
Netflix can’t possibly get any bigger. Its available on basically every device to basically every economically active human on the planet. Its big enough that its used as a description of any streaming service. “Its basically Netflix but for books/anime/games/whatever”.
At some point can you not just give it a rest? Or use the excess money to try and build a new business doing something else?
I don’t think they believe such a thing.
Spotify now has ads on Premium when listening to podcasts. It’s infuriating and frankly insulting. Podcasts are cheap as dirt to make compared to music.
I think I’ll cancel Spotify.
you should anyways, founder is heavily invested in robot warfare companies
Watch them implement ads on the base subscription tier for non-ai generated music. I smell the way the winds are blowing
Pretty much where I am at.
Piracy is a service issue, I think Steam proves that.
If that service isn’t viable any longer, time to move on
Streaming took away my pirate days.
It was easier to just pay the 30 bucks a month or whatever than to spend the 8-10 hours a month triaging and downloading.
This was 10 years ago that I turned off my plex server… and I’m looking to scrape her hull and refloat her
Look into Jellyfin instead of Plex if you’re stepping back into it. Plex took VC money and is absolutely enshittifing.
Jellyfin is a wholly FOSS alternative with near complete feature parity that costs nothing and is only getting better, not worse.
I have the lifetime pass for plex so I’d likely still use that since it gets the job done for streaming my local content AND has a solid appletv app
