Netflix subscribers: “I just like to watch shows.”
Gosh, if only there were another service, or another way to do that. Shucks.
Literal enshittification!
While also raising their rates, of course.
Hey, that sludge pipe wasn’t cheap!
So what you’re saying is, Happy Gilmore 2 will not save streaming?
I saved up a bunch of shows and waited all year to binge in one month over the summer and cancel.
may I recommend…
✨piracy✨?
I love your recommendation. Unfortunately I am very out of the loop with that sort of thing these days. And I’m without resources if I accidentally break something. I need my desktop for work as well. I’d be happy to read up on the topic if you could suggest some reputable sources that someone without a tech background could break down. It’s why I save it all up until summer. So I pay them as little as possible.
I beleive this is where dbzer0 would come in… So basically, you are going to want a VPN first, which they are pretty easy to get and use and there are plenty of resources online, I would suggest going for a trusted one such as Proton VPN or Nord VPN. Then as for how to actually get movies/shows, you are going to want to install firefox (if you don’t have it) and then add the ‘ublock’ extention to block popups and other nasty things. Then once you have that, you can check out the sites in our megathread, they are safe and trusted: https://rentry.co/megathread-movies-and-tv . Let me know if you need more help. :)

sub for a month with a prepaid gift card (so no potential issues cancelling). binge for a week, run out of stuff to watch, the rest of the sub goes unused and wasted. been down that road once every year or two here.
I didn’t watch the sewage pipe much but I kept up my subscription for the next seasons of Corn and Asparagus, but when they raised the price I had to finally cancel.
Yar-har, fiddle-dee-dee!
I thought that was an Amazon bag sitting in the doorway due to the logo/handle similarity.
Mhh, multiple flavors of septic waste
How does one pronounce “Mhh”?
Like a long “M”, but kinda “breathy” in the “h”. If they pronounce it like me.
I seem to be in a minority in thinking I get good value for money from Netflix.
Are you living in 2015? Nah, I’m kidding, if it gives you enough, then fine. I just canceled right after the pandemic.
I cancelled after I realized I watched 2, maybe 3 shows a year on it. Had it since the pre-streaming days.
It isn’t a bad value if you watch it regularly.
They do cycle in good movies, but they aren’t always up front and noticeable. Every service has a massive amount of trash and crappy interfaces for discovering stuff.
My wife is in your boat. I’ve tried to convince her many times to cancel but she refuses.
Netflix isn’t terrible. The Titan sub doc was good. Black Mirror, Love/Death/Robots. They have some good shows
If you like their content. For me, it’s like one in 50 items are worth watching, if that. Sorting through the duds costs time and ain’t nobody got time fo dat as far as I am concerned.
