yeah right BBC ,who told you that anyway ?
I’m not particularly surprised. I think a lot of people are using it for free because they can.
They still value Netflix, but why pay for it if you don’t have to.
For some reason I’ve not been kicked off my parents account, but if I were kicked off, I’d subscribe.
I’m torn between both sides of this argument. If I lost access to Netflix I wouldn’t be too bothered. But, I also understand that other people see the value in it and would be happy to subscribe if they lost access to an account that was shared with them.
Well I’m not in the states so it has all the shows my wife and I typically binge and leave on in the background while we work.
- Star Trek
- friends
- the office
- modern family
- big bang
- other stuff she watches like cooking shows.
Most of this could be saved to a server and streamed, but Netflix is also dirt cheap in the country where I live. Maybe like $3/month or something like that.
I figure the cost of streaming is less than what I pay in electricity for my home server, so I can just turn that off when not in use to save power.
I mean, why not? It is convenient, and to me, really well priced for what you get. There’s lots of things that offer far worse value for money that we don’t really think about.
And I host my own Plex server with Sonarr, Radarr, etc. But sometimes, you just want to jump into something, and TV series can take a huge amount of space.
I don’t know why Netflix is considered so morally repugnant, when they do still offer a good service for the money.
Convenience is worth something to a lot of people.
