The likes of FMovies and movie-web offer a virtually unlimited catalogue that contains everything you could ever stream, for free. And their streaming quality is almost always at par with Netflix, if not more. There is zero rational reason why anyone would turn to those "legit" streaming platforms if they know about them.
The only thing separating is app support on smart TVs. It's Game Over once TVs start allowing PWAs and ad-blocking browsers (do they already? I don't know).
Well my smart TV does, oh shit, I added a laptop with a dead screen to the TV because the smarts were dumb and slow and didn’t do what I wanted
Good
There was a resounding chorus of "DUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" that echoed across the land as Netflix discovers this reality.
Most of this sits squarely on Netflix's fault. I had stopped torrenting when I started with netflix, but their sheer stupidity between the password sharing and constantly taking down titles, not to mention the fact the rest of the industry is going copying them has pushed me to setup a plex server and share between my friends. Yarr... Ye gang be back me maytees!
EDIT: Fucking LOL, Hulu just emailed me this...
sorry netflix i can't hear your whining because I canceled after your second price hike. Fuck you. You sell nothing.
I've been using netflix and paying for it every month, but I also subscribe to a netflix downloader because there's no way for netflix videos to be saved permanently and that bothers me.
Try making a decent product again then, that seemed to limit piracy quite a bit
What a mystery this is
Good.
