How to make more people sail the high seas.
Laughs in Jellyfin
I'd plan to download even more torrents of netflix series, but it's not like they've got anything worth watching anyway.
Never been so happy to sail the seven seas! 🏴☠️🥰🏴☠️ Jellyfin FTW
We're paying for ads now. They're double whammying users and we're eating it up because everything's just too expensive.
I don't want to live in this society anymore...
There will be a subscription based cancellation fee before you leave.
Ah, the Adobe method. Gotta love it. This is why I use pre paid cards for my subscription. Can't take money when there's no money on the account!
And I will continue pirating all the series I ever want to watch.
So done with Netflix. Streaming just isn't worth it any more; I have better things to do with my time.
Might I recommend a library card? Most libraries have a DVD/BlueRay collection to borrow. And there are books. Maybe the younguns might want to consider reading a few more books? It's good for you. Like eating vegetables for the mind.
...This made me realize how lazy I've become around movies. I don't like the effort involved in going to a place to physically borrow an object, then having to remember to repeat that later to return it.
Renting movies was a very normal part of my life in the past. I'm not proud of this laziness. I'm fine with going to movie theaters, so it doesn't make much sense.
Yes, I love netslop
What is the point of a paid service with ads? Its just really odd, like who has money for Netflix and whatever shit they are advertising? And everyone will resent these added ads on this platform, so why pay Netflix to make people hate your product.

Cable got away with it until it didn't.
Yeah and where is it now? Oh yeah in obscurity.
Specifically because we could binge watch without ads changing the vibe OR THE VOLUME
Cable was a shitty service. It was expensive, you had to subscribe to a bunch of shit you didn't want for just a few programs you did, and was full of ads. People dropped cable for streaming because it was cheaper, centralized, and didn't have ads.
Now that cable is essentially dead, streaming is bringing back the high prices and the ads, and now you have to sign up for a bunch of shit you don't want for the few programs you do.

I promise I won't bring ads to my jellyfin.
I can't understand the reason people choose Jellyfin over Stremio. I gave it a try, and it seems a lot of hassle.
Maybe Jellyfin fits people who download their content in advance, while I make spontaneous decisions.
The high seas are callin us boys! 🏴☠️
I can’t for the life of me understand why people pay for this crap. Netflix used to be a great way to stream a bunch of shows you liked on a lot of different devices easily. It was like five dollars and it was definitely worth it just for the ease of use. It’s just too expensive now with too much crap on it that comes and goes. I have no idea why anybody puts up with it anymore. It’s either the high seas or just buy it on something like Apple TV.
Yeah, I’d like to know why people still pay for it as well. As soon as they brought back ads for paid tiers, I went back into the boat and never looked back. Shame it’s only gotten worse.
And I continue adding cool shit to my Jellyfin server ¯\(ツ)/¯
Gotta backslash your backslash there,my Monster!
Why thank you! My shrug has an arm again lol
They're one step away from dictating the content to be tailored to ads. Which is the natural end of running ads on your fucking service.
Apple TV+ remains the only streaming service I continue to pay for.
Clips is a TikTok-like vertical video stream where users can scroll through excerpts from Netflix series, films, and specials, as well as trailers for upcoming titles.

Disney+ has "Verts". It's fucking ridiculous.
It's wild to watch these companies chase after one another with no thought. Just "TikTok is popular! Can we be TikTok?!?!???"
You have a product. Do that product well. Fuck!
CEOs are really herd animals, always looking what the other guy is doing and living in a continuous fear of missing out the next big thing. It sure doesn't help with shareholders breathing down their neck pushing for short term profit and growth.
Not just that, as the fucking hellish political environment right now is enabling greed at full throttle, as if the SEC doesn't exist.

Let me know when they find a way to get ads into the torrented copies of their shows.
Cool. I plan to continue not using Netflix. Seems like this arrangement is working out great for both of us.
Y'all still payin for Netflix?
