Make absolutely sure you’re not paying Netflix when you cancel your account!
Those fucking assholes still pulled from my PayPal account after I cancelled my account on the site… I couldn’t even log in as “there’s no account with this email” (yes I used the correct one) and yet I had been paying them for a year and a half after that without realizing…
This company represents the worst aspects of capitalism now. They’ve got anCEO whose only objective is to get shareholders to vote for his insane annual bonuses, and he does that by trying to squeeze as much money as possible out of his customers. It won’t be long before they start cutting costs on providing content so everyone’s going to be paying more for less.
I cancelled Netflix a while ago but it’s a shame because I quite liked being a legal customer for everything. Now I’m a conscientious objector.
I wish I could browse Netflix without an account. That’s one thing that I haven’t found as good about Stremio, discoverablity.
It‘s strange is it not that to figure out the library before subscribing you often have to trust third party reporting. At least as far as I know
not sure if it works for you, but the TV app in iPhone lets you search across all streaming services to find where something is
interesting. i did a test before posting and Heartstopper was showing, so I assumed all Netflix shows were there. But Avatar: The Last Airbender only says Paramount+, despite being available in Netflix too
“Our profit growth percentage is not increasing fast enough, Surely there must be more we can squeeze out of the plebs.” - Netflix Executives, probably.
In other news, all Netflix tiers will now stream at 480p, unless you pay an additional premium of $18.99 a month. Because fuck you.
Yo ho ho, what the fuck did you expect? Off to sail the high seas.
the more they remove, the more i’ll be using my plex server (or Jellyfin if Plex also enshitifies itself)
Plex has already been enshitifying itself for years. Their own streaming channels, ad supported streaming, their creepy activity log sharing, banning servers run on entire hosting services, cracking down ever more on piracy. Hell I’ve seen reports where they banned people hosting on their own residential connections and sharing with friends and family, then emailing those friends & family and falsely informing them their host was running a commercial piracy service. And next month they become a store for movie and TV rentals.
Really it’s time to just bite the bullet and swap to Jellyfin.
