Netflix is cable now. And cable is expensive.
yaarrr! “all” is a bit of an exaggeration…
Got an email that my price was going up, again. Realized we hardly ever use it. Cancelled my account that I’d had since 2007.
Won? According to who? I only have it because it’s bundled with my cable TV service. Max is better.
Well, according to the vast user base it has compared to streamers. Unfortunately your opinion of it doesn’t shape that fact.
I counter it was necessary, as years of reading internet forums of users refusing to believe the dominance these streaming services have is starting to get old.
If sailing the seas means they won… congratulations?
Switched to a self hosted plex server on a dedicated Nas. Miss me with their bullshit. Even with all that I barely need to pirate anything from Netflix.
I had jellyfin for a while it just kept having little glitches especially on transcodes so I just paid the money for plex and it genuinely is way better. Especially just sharing access to my family via Gmail login has been a godsend for less tech savy family.
I disabled the live TV. I download all the TV I want I can’t imagine using their ad riddled live TV lol.
Did that. And then switched to Jellyfin because plex kept on asking for money for specific features. Couldn’t be happier with jellyfin.
I fell into the lifetime Plex pass special bandwagon. For the wife, family and mates Plex is the least abrasive solution; not that I like it - but I do like being less of a software / tech janitor.
I should really spin up another Jellyfin container and give it another run.
