As a subscriber of Netflix it's trash for my tastes now. Many of the shows I did enjoy are no longer on the service and once my subscription runs out I won't be renewing it.
- poe876 8y agoI agree. Shows have become more political and less entertaining. And it's only getting worse.
- dleslie 8y agoWe did this for similar reasons; the documentary and edutainment selection ran dry, and the children's section had a terrible signal/noise. Now we've been without any TV or streaming services for about six months, and relying on a Kodi box and my collection of ripped DVDs. We spend more time together as a family.
- Kagerjay 8y agoSometimes I use popcorntime.sh (the open github repo mirror), run a VPN, and grab the .torrent file. It only works if there are enough seeders, otherwise I have a seedbox that I FTP into for watching some movies I haven't seen yet.
- burger_moon 8y agoDocumentaries just don't pay the bills and I think it's killed off a lot of potential for good content. Chris Bell is someone who I heard talk recently on a podcast about this. He makes documentaries and discussed how hard it is just to break even making a documentary because of how Netflix/HBO/etc structure deals and vendor lock in.
