- unmole 4y agoOn Linux, there is no way to watch Netflix in 4k irrespective of the plan.
- FalconSensei 4y agoYeah, and all because stupid DRM. Easier to torrent than to watch officially
- FalconSensei 4y ago4k is in the most expensive (4 screens) plan. If you only have 1 tv, that's 2 steps up (going to 2 screens for full hd, and 4 screens for 4k)
- the_mungler 4y agoEven then, I don't believe they stream 4k to browsers. They only stream to devices like smart tvs or official Netflix apps with high quality. Your average browser is limited to 720p. This is the quintessential "pirating is better" example.
- hellotomyrars 4y agoIt’s so often a services problem. I honestly probably wouldn’t pay if it weren’t a family shared account, but my parents use it and they don’t know or care about the video quality like that. I also just prefer the video player of my choice. Paying customers should never have a worse experience than pirating customers. I think this is a huge reason for the success of music streaming. Less so for video streaming now with the huge fragmentation.
