They started to enforce the multi home rule on my account, so I cancelled my subscription. I think I had the account over 10 years. I was barely using my account anymore, so I don’t miss it that much.
Same here. I feel bad for my family who was using my account (and has less disposable income) but they have access to our Plex now so win/win.
Looks like they’re trying the new twitter and reddit strategies. FOMO is real!
Is a result of the massive shift in the economy over the last year. Lots of these tech companies were built on the back of the historicly low interest rates since 2008 meaning people saw better returns on investment than saving so there’s money at anything. With the interest rates shooting back up, it’s now the other way around so these companies need to be making much more profits and paying out much bigger returns to keep investors interested rather than just sitting on their hordes like Scroge McDuck.
This is just going to push more people to piracy.
It’s funny how these things go.
Long ago, you would need to buy or rent your movies, because other options weren’t really very convenient or effective. Then the internet became fast enough for you to use DC++ and later torrents to get all the movies you would ever want to see. Next, streaming services became popular due to convenience, ease of use and affordable prices.
What’s going on today? Streaming services are increasing prices and reducing convenience. Seems like the balance of power is tipping again.
And meanwhile extremely convenient piracy options have cropped up, like, just as convenient as real services, if not more because all the content is in one place.
Hell many people even use paid piracy services.
Not me though, I’ll suck my dad before I pay for piracy.
My number one criticism of Netflix was that it was too accessible so this is a welcome change, I really think the higher bar will increase the quality of views.
Do you not think it’s a bit too cheap as well? I feel guilty thieving such a quality service from them.
Real question - not sure if you guys are serious? It’s my least used service these days due to the quality and longevity of its content (outside of the kids shows)
I think getynge was being sarcastic and I was following suit. I do actually have a subscription because my family uses it a lot but I agree that the service is getting worse and worse. What other services do you prefer?
I recently cancelled all streaming services I had.
I now use Plex / Jellyfin with Plex_Debrid & RealDebrid.
- Total cost - $3.00 per month (RealDebrid)
Does this stream the torrent or does it steam just from my debris account?
Do debrid services even seed back?
From what ive been reading it seems that they just don’t.
Yep!
Correction. I guess it is a bit different than a seedbox (I’ve never used a seedbox)
Here is what I found online:
- A Debrid service has support for multiple premium file hosts, while a Seedbox does not
- A Debrid service, once it completes a torrent download, will stop seeding, while a Seedbox seeds a download forever until you stop it from seeding (hence the name).
- Some Debrid services, such as Premiumize, can seed for a certain amount of time.
- A Debrid service is usually cheaper than a Seedbox.
RealDebrid not only allows you to download but also stream directly from them. I use rclone to mount the drive to my media server and read the files with Plex/Jellyfin.
Yes! Plex_Debrid is the automation component that will go and add the torrents to RealDebrid based on your Watchlist in Plex. The Plex_Debrid Github has a step by step guide on setting each component up.
