I won't bother I'll just stream them for nothing if they foil my attempt to give them money for content and try them again in 2030 if they are still in business.
I advise them to prioritize customers. Imagine if you went to Walmart and they threw you out because you looked like a guy who shoplifted there last week. Would you shop there next week or even next year?
- busymom0 5y agoSame here. A lot of users started using streaming services for movies/shows and music because the $10 per month was a decent enough deal to not have to bother torrenting/downloading pirated copies. But if these companies are putting geo-locks and other such restrictions on VPN, then they will just go back to pirating again especially with the rise of webtorrent and free streaming sites like fmoviesgo or popcorntime.
- donw 5y agoWe canceled our Netflix subscription something like six months ago, on the basis that there was literally nothing worth our time to watch. It feels a bit like when I quit social media. I freed a surprising amount of time, and liberated this just incredible reservoir of emotional energy that was previously allocated to the Void. Thanks to that surplus, I learned how to dance. Seriously leveled up my cooking skills. Walking away from the prolefeed made my life better in a cornucopia of ways. Ditching streaming services (Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.) feels the same.
