I quit netflix recently after almost 10 years of continuous subscription. When they raised the price again it was a good Occasion although not the reason. I think so was done with it for a while now.

I guess I'll start reading books again - or watch a few films instead of stretched out series.

Already canceled a long time ago. When I subbed they had all the good shows in one spot. Then everything got split up among others services and it was no longer worth it.

Plus the content they make themselves is hit or miss. And the misses are in far bigger numbers.

Seems like they brought themselves to a spot where growing more is very hard so they start messing with subscriptions to get more money.

Just curious what they are going to do when that stops working, because I think the next step is just to realize more growth is very hard. And anything they change may add subscribers but it may also cause them to leave, so they have to turn the knobs very carefully.

And people will bitch and moan on the Internet, pay up, and repeat the process next time they try this.

The stock is doing good so there must be plenty of people thinking Netflix is essential. And I guess it is if you have no tech skills at all.

I don't have a subscription myself, but if I want to watch something they have, I'd rather pay up than spending my time trying to figure out how to pirate it.

For me, it's less about technical ability, and more about how I spend my time.

But all you have to do to pirate it is to visit a website…

I already used Stream Fab to get Dark off there, so whatever.

(Dark was so good, I do appreciate the risks the old Netflix took on some programming, even if the company is busy burning that goodwill now.)
