If they ever come out with a service that has everything, no commercial breaks, and you can download for offline use, those pirates will be in real trouble.
Remember when Netflix almost had it perfect?
At one point it was the answer to piracy, IMO. I only ever subscribed to it and Spotify.
Then every studio and media corp decided to take us back to cable.

There, ftfy. ;)
Yeah it was awesome. I didn’t download a thing for years because the service was good and price was fair.
This year I finally gave in. Paying for 6 different streaming services and still not finding the movie we wanted to watch made me get a NAS and cancel (almost) all subscriptions. We kept Spotify and Netflix.
They can all get bent, literally.
LMAO
i always get so confused when vpn sponsors play and the main ‘’‘benefit’‘’ is accessing geolocked content on netflix. have these people never heard of ‘watch xyz online free’ or whatever
Smaller host sites are generally full of junk and difficult to use, plus can’t beat the speeds/infrastructure of something like Netflix.
aaah fair enough! torrents/nzbs ftw though
The discussion around special offers and pricing are actually why I don’t subscribe to a lot of things.
It always feels like there’s likely going to be a better deal if I just go away and wait and don’t bother right now, which typically means I forget I was even interested.
I’d rather places be honest with pricing than play those variable price games because it always feels like I’m going to get scammed if I don’t just do nothing and see if the price gets better.
You know what makes me forget about their awesome prices? Getting the content for free
If the discount is consistent and predictable e.g. 10% of on Easter/Black Friday/Christmas Holidays it’s at least something.
Some platforms offer better prices in exchange for a one-year subscription commitment, but tiered discounts based on subscriber loyalty are much less common.
It’s literally the opposite most of the time. The longer you stay the more expensive it becomes.
