The Netflix one worked
- qoez 11mo agoWorked for them not for the consumers
- Izikiel43 11mo agoNetflix is looking out for Netflix shareholders, not for consumers, like any other public company.
- azemetre 11mo agoPerfectly good excuse to make society worse for people. Oh wait, what's that? It's not a good excuse? Oh okay.
- almostgotcaught 11mo ago> Perfectly good excuse to make society worse for people What an incredibly silly accusation to make of a company/service that streams movies and television. Like you understand it is possible to dilute the concept of civic responsibility right?
- Izikiel43 11mo ago? Companies don't care about society, unless it affects profit. Companies are not people, they are cold machines that through different means try to reach the same purpose, make more money. No one should anthropomorphize companies. They might look like they have human qualities, same way like the T800 in the Terminator looked human.
- groundzeros2015 11mo agoNobody needs a Netflix subscription. You can just stop paying
- praveenperera 11mo agoshort-term maybe, but piracy is making a come back
- jmkni 11mo agoIt never left
- array_key_first 11mo agoIt actually kind of did for a lot of people. Streaming was cheap, available, and convenient. Now it's none of those three. Once again, choosing not to pirate is just an objectively wrong choice. It's a worse experience, with worse quality, worse availability, and at a higher price tag.
- molave 11mo ago> Choosing not to pirate is just an objectively wrong choice. It's a worse experience, with worse quality, worse availability, and at a higher price tag. Choosing not to pirate and not to consume simultaneously is not necessarily a wrong choice. A difficult one? Yes. But I propose that it could be beneficial for your mental (and maybe physical) health.
- array_key_first 11mo agoThis is the approach I took with most things, so you're right. But still, TV can be some of the highest quality and engaging media you can find. I mean, it's not short form slop or thinly veiled advertisment... If you look in the right places.
- donatj 11mo agoI went almost 20 years without sailing the high seas. It was the death of DVD Netflix that really did it for me. With DVD, Netflix if something I wanted to watch wasn't on any of my streaming services, it was almost guaranteed to be on DVD Netflix. That fallback doesn't exist anymore.
- vkou 11mo agoIt worked to push me to unsubscribe.
- rssoconnor 11mo agoI also unsubscribed, but even with you and me out, from what I read, it was a profitable move on Netflix's part. I guess I can't fault them.
- luma 11mo agoThe first stages always do, that's why corporations keep pulling the enshittification lever.
- bean469 11mo ago> The Netflix one worked Did it, though? User frustration seems to be growing, people are already seeking out alternatives
