I haven't had streamslop subs in years.

Been sailing the seven seas ever since, and I'm watching it all burn from the crow's nest.

Aside from 🏴‍☠️ there are simply too many legitimate pay streaming options in 2025 for Netflix to think they can do this. This will end like an arrogant urban cowboy being flung off a mechanical bull and I'm all for it.

I used this service in a rental for the first time in a few years. It sucks compared to other streaming services. I don't even know what people are possibly watching on this thing.

Haha, the kicker is that it's pure greed. With their prices they don't need it and could improve it with what the community wants, but $$$, hey... been away for nearly 2 years now, thought of tipping my toes in again but with that they can f... right off.

Got rid of netflix when they started their ad tier. NEVER going back.

!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com Piracy ftw!

Soooooo fucking glad I spent the last 3 days re-re-re-re-making and reworking my NAS into a proper homelab made out of my old gaming PC, holy shit

A year of depression and shame at not finishing it suddenly ends right before the enshittification hits harder, nice

Now if my new HDDs could show the fuck up

Is your egg too expensive?
Look no further. Our egg is much smoother and can be worn with most garments.

EggEgg. For your egg.

I mean, this is for the ad-supported tier. For $8/mo, it tells you right there it includes ads when you sign up.

Half of new Netflix subscribers opt for the $8 per month option rather than ad-free subscriptions, which start at $18 per month, the company says.

Damn, when did it get so expensive? Assuming that's USD. That's a decent amount more than Disney+, right?

After that comes the part where the AI hallucinates a world where advertising guidelines don't exist and gets the company sued for some very illegal advertising.

What the fuck is up with that image of Wednesday?! It doesn’t look like Ortega’s Wednesday to me. Is it ai generated?

Not to me.

I like that they give everyone an exact date to cancel their membership.

I've had Netflix on-and-off since the DVD in the mail days. I tried Amazon Prime for the shipping years ago, when they first started playing with streaming. Those are the only two I've had.

I have neither now, and if it turns out I can't get the few shows I want to watch through other means, then I just won't watch anymore. Passive media isn't especially valuable to me. I have other forms of entertainment, including games, and the old stand-by, books. Outside is fun, too, when the weather isn't crap.
