You're viewing a single thread.
Who cares though, right? We all unsubscribed from that useless streaming service, right?
I mean yeah I suspect most people on Lemmy have. But we’re outliers.
Yeah, it's quite ballsy of them to do this when they haven't released anything good in several years.
Even if they don't release anything, wtf. There is a huge back catalogue of movies I want to rewatch and stuff I've never seen. I can't remember a single time I searched for a classic movie I wanted to watch and found it on Netflix streaming. Those movies were often available through Netflix DVD though! Enshitification indeed.
I use Justwatch to figure out where films and shows are, and even then it's grim how many aren't available to stream, or even buy legally.

At that point you should honestly just pirate it so that a copy continues to exist.
I've done that for my Jellyfin server, but some things are too rare and niche to be sure of results unfortunately.
Given the decline in service quality and the increase of 8.8 million subs in a quarter, they can continue being worse for more and the general public will support it.
The only thing I care about is quality shows being made from good networks, still getting their funding, but streamers are turning into trash TV from the 2000's.
I still get it as part of my phone plan, and hardly ever use it. They’ve conditioned me to not ever get interested in a Netflix show until there’s at least 4 seasons.
I get it through my phone plan for free (t-mobile) and I still cancelled my account with Netflix.
Sure did. They still email me about shit to watch. Dunno why I thought that would stop on its own.
Yeah, I thought I did. I can't even log into Netflix as they say I don't have an account, and yet my PayPal history is showing I've been paying them continuously...
How the fuck can they charge me for an account that doesn't exist!? I just cancelled it today through PayPal, hopefully that stops it. It's absolutely absurd.
Currently costs peanuts in India (have some good friends over there 🥸) and there's no password sharing crackdown yet. Comes down to $2 per person on the highest plan. As long as this continues, I'll stay subbed to Netflix.
It's like the only one that works natively on my mom's TV so that's all she watches 🤷
