Let me know when they find a way to get ads into the torrented copies of their shows.
Yes, I love netslop
I’d plan to download even more torrents of netflix series, but it’s not like they’ve got anything worth watching anyway.
Time to swap media with your friends on portable hard drives and USB sticks again baby!!!
You know what old laptops are good for? 1 terabyte mini-SATA disks. You know what costs like four bucks on Temu? USB cases for 2.5 inch disks. You can put a lot of Linux ISOs on one and who cares if you never get it back?
Good thing I don’t have Netflix then.
The fact that they keep pushing the envelope with more and more ads and higher costs show that people are willing to go along with it. That is sad to think about
No one should be surprised, cable tv played out the same way. Got you hooked on content and then started shoving ads in so often they sped up credits or ran the credits under the commercial break to squeeze just a biiiiiit more out of you
Then they sped up the actual tv shows. It’s crazy, and they got away with it.
Goddamn, that’s ridiculous. I can’t say I seen that one myself, but I also haven’t really watched cable in like a decade. I wish I could be surprised or even consider the idea even remotely hyperbolic.
TBS were the biggest offenders. It’s only slightly sped up. I only noticed because they were airing reruns of something i had watched 1.2 billion times on dvd. Really fucks with the comedic pacing when they do that. But any amount sped up can make a 22 minute show air in 21:45 or even 21:30… One or two commercials more.
They’re already doing this lol.
Netflix also plans to introduce “personalized ad loads and frequency caps that dynamically adjust the ads our members see, based on their viewing behaviors.” Netflix hasn’t shared any more details about how this could work. The big question is whether streaming more on Netflix could result in fewer ads per episode or film.
This is why I prefer the open seas. Arrr, me matey! A pirate’s life for me!
Morons… cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face.
Morons or masters of revenue?
We all hate it, but for every one of us who will cancel there’s ten more who will just keep paying no matter how bad it gets.
Just takes one show and a lack of motivation to self host a solution, and these companies own every popular show and nearly the entire pipeline of creation.
Advertisements work so well everybody is trying to put them everywhere to make more money. It’s just that simple. Reddit is effectively full vertical video and photo content if you browse the site without logging in, because a few second video format is enough to slip in a quick ad without triggering people as much as a long format ad does, like infomercials of yore.
If we want the ads gone we need to regulate them away.
This really opens a new niche for people to help newbies setup self hosting.
The morons are the people willing to pay for ads. There is seemingly an endless supply of them because these kinds of subscriptions are very popular.
Really itching to try that golden goose recipe.
I’m glad I unsubscribed to Netflix.
Enshittification is inevitable. The only variable is how long it takes.
Cancel your subscription & come over to the Dark Side! (I do recommend learning some basics beforehand though)
Yes that. Come to the dark side, we have 🍪
Hey ! Looks ! This thing it’s called jellyfin. It’s installed on something that’s called Truenas. It’s doing the same thing as netflix.
That’s just misinformation. I put some shows onto a Jellyfin instance and not a single one has disappeared. Not even an email about something being dropped soon. So that’s a core part of the Netflix experience you’re just not getting with Jellyfin.
Heck, it doesn’t even randomly force me to watch in 1080p or 720p despite being on the 4K plan and the show/movie being available in 4K. It’s like Jellyfin isn’t even trying.
The last drop in the bucket for me was when Jellyfin didn’t show any ads.
Maybe we should fork an Enshittyfin and add these vital features.
lmao that would make a good April fools bit
There’s also Emby and Plex.
Yeah, and Plex is also enshittifying. Fuck Plex. Go FOSS or go home.
Plex is pumping the gas on going down the drain faster than netflix, netflix just has a head start
It would be hilarious if all those company killed by streaming platform suddenly crawl back up from hell and make physical rental widely available again.
all streaming services is hemorrhaging money just to push out slop content. the streaming services will disintegrate before they go back to physical media.
