Not just pricing, but that's a big part of it. Streaming services tend to have garbage UI's, content that gets removed after x amount of time, and filled with ads (sometimes unskippable). The user experience can be so much better with pirating.
- TeMPOraL 2y agoThis, too, though I imagine most people learned to endure garbage UI. But seriously, Netflix with its minimally functional, feature-less UI is the golden standard of streaming services. It seems that the bigger the company behind the service, the worse it gets. Like, you could hardly find a porn site with worse players than Disney+, and the thing is less snappy than a pirate streaming service with a cryptominer running in the background. I sometimes wonder how it's even possible to do such a bad job - even modern web software isn't that unperformant by default, someone had to put in extra work to make it this bad.
