If this happens to me, I'm cancelling my Netflix and ramping my Plex server up even more. I pay for Netflix for ease of use, but the harder they make it, the more people will revert to piracy.

They could just be logging IPs that have been used by a large number of accounts. They could also be tracking accounts that tend to hop between IPs and enforce more strictly on them. EDIT: Oops replied to wrong comment.

  Already did it, got lifetime emby premiere license, can watch whatever I want wherever I am, the ease of use and the low price were charming at the start, but I guess it was too good to last

    Out of curiosity, what made you go with Emby over Plex?
    - lnxg33k1 5y ago
      the Kodi plugin, emby integrates itself by reusing existing elements, including the Kodi player and Kodi libraries so you can scroll in movies both local files and emby files and use the same flow regardless, Plex last time I tried it, had a full blown view on top of Kodi which was detached from the system, so you either go full Plex or it's not a nice experience

But ramping up Plex with what content? Netflix has the content…

  You pay $90 a year to a Usenet provider, $15 a year to a Usenet indexer, and get gigabit+ download speeds of any TV show or Movie you want and they automatically get fetched via https://Sonarr.tv https://Sonarr.tv or https://Radarr.video https://Radarr.video Plus it's all done over TLS and your ISP won't send you notices because you're not uploading/sharing anything.

    please note in some cases you need 2 backbones and 2 indexers to find some content

  Bittorrent has the most content.
  - shell0x 5y ago
    Agreed. Outside of the US a lot of content is just not available at all.

      Even in the US.

    I haven't looked in a long time, but it has high quality 4k rips with Atmos sound tracks like a Blu-ray would?

Don't wait, just cancel now. Netflix has gone rapidly downhill in terms of content quality in the past couple of years. They have ceded ground to their competition by removing the broad range of content they once had, in favor of their own mediocre content. I think there could be a genuine market opening for a streaming platform that exclusively has films made before 5-10 years ago. Somethjng curated, with less attempts at using AI to predict what you like. Something for movie enthusiasts (and perhaps TV) to enjoy good cinema, not watch the latest politically charged soap opera with poor dialogue, instagram filter cinematography, and overly safe humor.

  I only use it because someone else lets me use their account for free. There's almost never anything worth watching on it though.

  The Netflix logo on a poster is literally a stamp of bad quality. Like 90% of netflix originals are absolute trash.
  - shell0x 5y ago
    The series are also getting canceled after 1 season. I stopped watching Netflix originals just like you.

      I used to think so too, y watch a show that's gonna get cancelled. Then I realized there do exist some good shows that only had very few seasons: pushing daisies, doll hiuse, sense 8. The problem is many Netflix shows are bad...

I would be furious if, being a legitimate user (which I am) I was blocked and then told to "contact my ISP" about it.
