Already going “hybrid” when it comes to content and Netflix only survived the last round because family members voted “stay”. Not sure about the next time, especially since their little fabricated “crackdown” on sth. that was once not only tolerated, but actively encouraged definitely rubbed me the wrong way.
shrug.
Netflix’s price structure hasn’t been a concern for me for a couple of years…
Streamers are currently benefiting from the actors strikes as no new content is being bought and made while they continue to receive subscription payments for old content.
This, and price hiking is simply greed, nothing more.
There is new content now. But there won’t be for awhile. We have had the last season of the Witcher sex education and first season of one piece come out.
Yes but that was all commissioned before the strikes had started. The crown final season is also included in that list iso it seems like there’s new content but there’s just a delay to it all.
Yo ho ho…
Ahoy mateys…time to set sail on the seven seas.
I’ve been a Netflix customer for over 20 years. The recent password crackdown and constant price gouging led me to cancel their service yesterday. Yo Ho MF’ers.
What is even left?
My Jellyfin server.
And my Plex!
And my Kodi!
And my Emby!
A VPN.
Mullvad is £5/mo. AirVPN is €7/mo.
Both are top tier VPNs. Mullvad has all RAM servers. AirVPN offers port forwarding.
Plex with Sonarr/Radarr/VPN/qBitTorrent is the way to go.
What’s the VPN for? Hitting the seas?
Ay, especially required in some jurisdictions like Germany
Gotta pay those writers without hurting profits somehow.

All these services from Netflix to Uber are built on understandable foundations. They lose a ton of money in their first phase in order to gain subscribers but sooner or later start looking to turn profit out at least stop the bleeding.
I can already hear the outcry of surprised gamers when Microsoft cracks the whip on their Game Pass pricing, and there will be little to no alternative because they bought out most of the studios and publishers.
I wonder what this Netflix live action anime ONE PIECE is all about?
that’s cool. i haven’t had netflix since 2011.
The whole industry is a profit driven capitalistic trap to squeeze as much monies from us as possible. The same companies behind extortionate CD / DVD prices and market control are behind the streaming services. While the coast is still semi-clear and we can pirate what we want, they’ve slowly infiltrated the governments around the globe and introduced stupid copyright laws so that they can go after the common man. I expect that the future is bleak, with more governments succumbing to the industry’s lobbying and making it harder for the average user to pirate, so much so, that we’ll be forced to pay as much as they ask us
