History repeating itself. The streaming services will die to piracy just like the cable companies did because they can’t resist trying to squeeze more and more out of their customers.
That only works if your customers have no alternatives. YouTube can push more and more annoying ads because there isn’t really an alternative to Youtube.

The unending need to pointlessly attempt to generate more revenue from each user in order keep shareholders happy is the primary driving force behind enshittification.
If Netflix was able to just grow slowly and steadily and not have this enormous investment to pay off by pointlessly splurging billions on countless productions, the media, TV and movie industries would be in a better place.

This is already happening on both Prime Video and Now. What a joke.

A completely free ad supported tier wild be great and generate them loads of money from people that just aren’t willing to pay a sub. I’m guessing this isn’t it though…

They will kill themselves with this, as the TV stations did. Some new players will appear from the ashes and in 10 years they will do the same again.

The whole selling point of Netflix over piracy was no adds.

At this stage piracy should be openly encouraged. It’s the only way to stop this.

I would say “I might start pirating” but I genuinely cant remember the last thing I cared to watch on Netflix.

Get back on the torrents lads. It’s easier and quicker to just download everything nowadays. I downloaded a whole season of a show in five minutes. That way you don’t have these massive American corporations any more money.

Annnnd we’ve come full circle, streamers getting so greedy they remove one of their key competitive advantages over traditional TV. It’s almost as if a capitalist structure which demands profit growth YoY no matter what the circumstance, doesn’t ultimately benefit the consumer, who’d have thunk it!

You can download Stremio on any Android TV and whatever add ons you decide to install are between you and God.

Everything on Netflix is on Netfly for free.

You either die the hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
In all seriousness, they know they’ll get away with this because most people won’t cancel. I’ll be going on a charity shop hunt for DVDs this weekend.

Oh no…anyway.
With this pricing politics i wonder, if there is anyone who is paying to watch Netflix?

Stremio + Realdebrid(€16 for 6 months) on any android box gives you every show and movie you’ll ever need

Up north here, been dealing with this for a while. It’s bulllllshit.
“sign up to netflix/prime, no ads! Its class!”. Oh? OK yeah that sounds good.
“we’ve raised the price but still no ads!”. Aw. OK, alright I guess.
“oops, raised the price again, lol. Whoopsies!” I don’t like this.
“there’s ads now btw. But you’re locked in now, no refunds!”. 😔
InformalInsurance455 on
I’m so sick of this shit. If you’re paying for a streaming service the least they could do is not show you ads. And they wonder why people go for the dodgy boxes. For me the cost isn’t even a dodgy box driver, it’s the lack of ads on a service I’M ALREADY PAYING FOR.

Yeah that’s another thing getting cancelled

Just cancel it. It’s mostly crap on there anyways. Very little quality content anymore.

So obviously that’ll make it cheaper because that makes sense right?

I’ve an even cheaper option with no ads.
Yarr!!! There’s no ads on the high seas, me mateys.
Netflix is getting cancelled in my household starting immediately.
Amazing how this innovative tech replaced standard TV stations with TV stations
