Aye, I left when they started up their bs in Canada. I will very grudgingly turn it on once Three Body Problem is out and then turn it right back off. Or even, if I can buy TBP from another streamer or DVD , I’ll wait and do that. This greedy crap from Netflix is personal to me. So sick of greed.

Just pirate it off https://1337x.to when it comes out. People rip things pretty fast if they’re popular.

Ah, so he switched from smiting to torrenting. That explains a few things.

Their search function is terrible compared to TPB, which is saying a lot because TPB’s is also not very good.

You got me briefly wondering what Three-Body Problem’s search function meant.

Public torrent sites like that sketch me out. I don’t like getting those funny/threatening emails from my ISP.

My ISP doesn’t give a fuck so I don’t use ISP-friendly tools. Not even a VPN. Only for geoblocking.

It’s not even greed. It’s horrible mismanagement. They dug themselves a whole bunch of financial holes based on a false belief that they could continue seeing the same subscription growth without stopping to consider the possibility that there was a point at which they would inevitably plateau. And now they are scrambling to find ways to make up the shortfalls in their goals now that the plateau is in sight. Some genius executive thought cracking down on shared accounts would fix that. 😂

Idk , I mean… unsustainable growth , to me, that’s the same thing as greed.
