Netflix has no way to continue growing aside from increasing prices. That is a bad sign. They will just keep squeezing people. Your best bet is to stop subscribing.

Damn near every tech company and major utility provider has no way of growing aside from squeezing.

No matter where you turn you will be getting squeezed, and it’ll just get worse every year that regulations don’t catch up.

And if the U.S. has it’s way, institutional regulation will be a thing of the past as a new wave of unchecked corporate oligarchy begins. And since the U.S’s biggest export is crazy, it’ll just spread…

Making the future more grim.

Anyone care to actually do anything about it? Seems like people are more concerned about abortion and things like that than everyone’s collective livelihood.

Trustbusting would be a solution, but people gotta get behind it. Guess which guy running for President is moving in that direction? Hint: it’s not the billionaire.

The shareholders are seeking to juice the company and throw it away as usual. Users need to see the writing on the wall and move on.

Yea tbh it’s business model is gonna be obsolete.

The bottom line is especially in a trash economy where the rich are bleeding everyone, no one is gonna wanna pay for digital luxuries.

I only shell out for hardware and food.

Streaming is going to end up exactly like cable, it feels inevitable. Adverts, package bundle deals, contracts will be the final thing where they lock you in for a “discount”.

Yup, I’m playing with Jellyfin for our devices. I already have a fair amount of content in a digital format, so I’m mostly testing to see if offline playback works well.

So far so good, just need my wife and kids to approve and I can kill Netflix.
