I hate the fact that Netflix is getting more and more expensive, but I still think it’s a really good deal.

There are a lot of shows and interesting movies and I hope it stays that way.

If I had to buy everything I watch on netflix, it would end up being more expensive (4-5 movies a month, 2 tv shows simultaneously).

I still buy blu-rays for my favorite movies even if I only watch them every 4-5 years.

Maybe one day Netflix is gonna end up being more expensive than just buying, but it ain’t the case for now.

And about the redesign, it’s difficult to judge without trying it first, but I ain’t a fan of the bigger thumbnails.

Usenet subscriptions are an even better deal.

paying for piracy

Paying for better quality and reliable access. Enjoy your torrents, when you grow up and care about bitrate, compression, audio quality, and ease of access come on back and I’ll be happy to walk you through it.

Don't be a gatekeeping dick. I was there to use limewire and had only learned of Usenet 4 months ago and the benefits are non obvious by design.

Maybe they can consider redesigning their monetization strategy, and figuring out the endless licensing issues, so people actually have something to watch, for the money they spend. It's either that, or piracy

After Netflix started offering streaming, I stopped considering piracy as a worthwhile option. Now, it's actually easier to pirate whatever the fuck you want to watch than figure out what streaming service it's on, and which of your friends has the account you're all sharing.

If you frequently watch this kind of stuff, your options are to either shuffle subs between 8 different platforms, or just get what you want from alternate sources. It's always a service issue

So now instead of "we have an algorithm to suggest what you might like" it's turning into "you'll watch what we tell you and like it, and good luck trying to find anything else"

And then they'll cancel anything they didn't spam the front page with and blame it on low viewership

This also smells like "we're shrinking our catalog and dont want you to notice it, so algorithm!"

Are they going to stop showing me the same content over and over and over again? Which consists of mostly shit I've already seen?
