Have you heard of pirate bay?

It blows my mind that people actually pay for these services other than the release groups that rip them for me.

Max would be in my cancellation list if it wasn't because I get it for free because my cable provider from 2013 is too incompetent to update their database with the fact that I haven't owned that condo since 2015. Netflix is hanging on by a thread.

I currently pay for Paramount+ (great value) and Dropout (support indie creators). Prime doesn't count because I pay for it for the shipping, but once they start with ads, I'll stop watching it.

We're back to that place where the hassle of piracy is worth it again. The problem for studios is that technology has come a long way since the last time people had to think about "cord cutting" through piracy, and it's just too easy to do it now. The second golden age of television is coming to an end.

Don’t worry, we’ll shovel more garbage reality shows into your app and wreck the ux even harder. Here’s 40 seasons of people having diarrhea on airplanes. Expect price increases in 6 months.

Greedflation and shrinkflation rearing their ugly heads again. 😡

Netflix did the same, but prices went up 1-2 times a year regardless. I'm no longer paying for Netflix. 🤗

So what are people doing to get access to private trackers? Getting sick of this, cancelled all my streaming services that kept raising prices and set up Jellyfin on my old laptop.

the enshittification continues. how do you continue to grow when everyone is either already a customer or would never become one under any circumstances? you make the product worse and more expensive.

My prediction is that people will get fed up with this and just stop subscribing to these services. Eventually they companies will give up on the gouging and all their content will reappear on Netflix, and we'll all end up back in 2013.

Does this count as shrinkflation...?

the 'download' offering is funny because you know it's not a real download you can have faith in, it's some fake bullshit where they're allowed to let you hit a button

They realized that Netflix is heading six feet under , Amazon sucks so they can go back to making profit.

Just canceled my service. I wasn’t watching too much on there already and this was ridiculous. They were already one of the priciest options and now I can either lose the 4k I was paying for, or bump up to $20/month? No thank you.

Cancelled my subscription yesterday because of this.
