We left Netflix after I decided I didn’t want to understand their rules.

“Number” of streams was easy to pay for and made sense. We paid for extra screens, so our parents could have easy access.

There are too many streaming options and services worth subscribing to these days, and more than any one person could watch so, well, not a problem.

Do I miss netflix, nope.

grte,

I already dipped. By the time I cancelled I wasn’t using the service enough to justify paying for it monthly, anyways.

Me, too. In my country, I'm paying the equivalent of 13€ for Disney, Amazon, HBO and SkyShowtime combined. And although Netflix has some good shows, it's nowhere near enough to rival all of these together - no way I'm paying 10€/mo. just for it. Guess I'll pirate the few I actually miss.

variants_of_concern,

I just cancelled everything, no more subscriptions for me, except for the yearly re-up on usenet indexers

Yeah, imagine running a company, with customers that simply pay the monthly, because it is cheap enough to cancel. But then you start annoying the users and reduce convenience, then increase the price. What could possibly be the end goal here?

I really should thank Netflix for finally motivating me to actually get off my ass and build my home server. After cancelling all of my streaming subscriptions, it really does pay for itself.

Sonarr and Emby were pretty much the only things I needed to scrap streaming services entirely.

CanadaPlus,

Wat.

Edit: Oh it's only for new people.

plum,

I had actually thought about signing up for the basic plan because it is just me who likes it, but I was put off by the low quality.

Well - I guess now I’ll be officially sticking to Plex.

I gave up on Netflix so many years ago now with zero regrets. The second they started their rumblings (nearly a decade ago now) about wanting to stop people from accessing other countries media selection I said fuck it, spun up a Plex install and never looked back.
