jellyfin/plex here I come
Jellyfin is king. Plex is corporate-in-waiting, wishing it could have infinite growth infinitely. Jellyfin is just some people makin a thing.
- Make a decent video streaming service
- Lure users with low prices and fairly high quality content
- Realize other companies want part of the cake too
- Pretend you have a monopoly, so increase prices and lower the average quality of new content
- People use alternative ways to access video streaming content, that’s also more convenient because they don’t have to have a gazillion different apps on their smart device to stream video
- Surprised Pikachu
- Repeat steps 4-6
- Repeat step 7
- Repeat step 7-8
- …
- Die a slow death?
Get on the boat! comrades!
I just realized it’s been 3 months since I last watched anything on Netflix.
Huh…
Looks like I cancelled my subscription just in time then.
Fuck these corporations. Fuck the people who are so greedy. Fuck em all. Cunts
Oh, boy. Here we go again.

Yeah, people always come into these threads foaming at the mouth, but in the end it’s just a big old spreadsheet, and it tips on favor of higher prices.
I guess I will continue to use the expanded hard drive space I just moved to for my zfs pool. Yo ho, yo ho… 🏴☠️
So this is one result of the writer’s strike. I’m all for it if it’s to support writers.
If by “support the writers” you mean, “Netflix doesn’t want to let the writers pay hike lower their earnings or executive pay.”
Then yeah, it’s to support the writers.
vpn my bros!
Any recommendations?
I can highly recommend Mullvad VPN. They are on the more expensive side with 5€ per month with no promotions or sales. But they are generally well regarded and privacy respecting. You can even send the money as cash in an envelope to them if you are extremely paranoid.
I have proton vpn. I like it so far
How does a VPN affect the price?
🏴☠️
Oh boy. Here I go pirating again
Oh, well yeah. Duh.
100% discount
Netflix charges different rates in different countries.
Also, they probably just mean piracy.
Pretty sure you need to provide billing info? Unless… can you still pay by check? lol
There’s whole guides out there on how to get your Netflix account setup with localized prices for cheap subscription cost. I think Argentina or Turkey are the cheapest at like $5/mo or something.
Worst streaming service wants more money
Is there anywhere one can find a list of popular or good content available on Netflix at any current time?
justwatch.com is great for finding what you can stream where for your region.
Stremio FTW
Sucks for those still using it, I guess. This was always gonna be the case. Capitalism is infinite growth and they will do whatever they can show numbers going up to their shareholders, even as they’re hemorrhaging money. Short term gains that will lead to long term losses. Sustainable profit is not the goal; growth at all costs is. You reap what you sow Netflix, you big turd.
