Poll of the Day > FUCK NETFLlX!!!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

So their rates went up. Now Im not happy about it because I dont watch it much.

Now, I chose the single streamer pack or whatever meaning that only one user can be on it at a time. So I cant watch Casino Royale while running on the treadmill at the gym because my young daughter is watching Sprinkle Force for some shit at home:

Thats fine. Its what I signed up for but keep in mind that it wasnt like this before. So Im paying more for less.

And I also got the cheapest resolution because for some reason thats a thing now, and James Bond looks like a skin toned Gumby(most of you guys will have to Google who this is).

Blatant greed, and I called it the moment people kept dumping Cable for OTT(over the top) services. I said, Theyre cheap now but as soon as the majority of people jump on them theyll increase the prices. Now, if you have all the OTT services youre paying more than if you just got cable. Luckily my stocks in Comcast and Spectrum are doing well, and thats because theyre mostly selling internet now which is 100% profit. The lines are already put down so they only need to pay their workers and thats it.

Anyway, Im thinking about just restarting my HBO MAX subscription and cancelling Netflix. This is too stupid. And so is the general population. We keep getting fucked by these companies and people just take it. Maybe the new rise in Unions will restore my faith.

So you need a more screen package. Netflix has always been upfront about how that part of a package works.

Yeah it's totally fair to stop using a product because they actively made it more shit, and costs more.

True, but they only recently began to enforce it. Before a few months ago they let people account share like crazy.

Yeah I called and complained about my price going up and at the same time losing features, and they were like "awwww that sucks!" so I cancelled. Fuck 'em. If they're going to treat a 10 year customer like that I don't need them.

I don't think it was inevitable as a consequence of people switching away from cable, but it was definitely inevitable once multiple streaming services entered the marketplace. Because content gets spread out across different platforms, forcing you to either pay for multiple services or settle for a single service that has less worthwhile content than it used to.

People's FOMO plays a huge role in why media companies do what they do. Because you're essentially complaining about an unnecessary luxury good that you in no way need to pay for in the first place. But people's desire to see all the popular shows means it's become commonplace to pay for multiple streaming services (and thus pay much more per month).

My assumption has always been (and continues to be) that cable will eventually evolve into a distribution platform for streaming services - so, in essence, you pay for Comcast or Optimum and it automatically gives you access to the Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, etc services with a unified GUI/menu system to simplify things. Because the way the ecosystem is evolving it seems unlikely any one service is going to be able to survive on its own long-term.

You're going to experience the exact same issue there eventually.

It might be better for you in the short-term (especially if HBO/Warner has more shows you want to watch than Netflix does), but they're not inherently or objectively better than any other streaming service.



HornedLion posted...

And so is the general population. We keep getting fucked by these companies and people just take it.

As long as you're essentially just demanding access to something completely optional and unnecessary to life, this is never going to change.

People love to complain about capitalism and imply it's the root of every modern problem, but they also tend to ignore the fact that it's the only reason many of these services only exist in the first place. Profit is the only real motivation to create and distribute hundreds of channels worth of content (or massive streaming libraries). Entertainment media is a luxury, and the luxury market is fueled by profit (and exploitation).

The answer isn't to just demand that everyone else give you everything you want the way you want it (because that just makes you an entitled shit). The answer is to have principles and to reject things you object to. Even if that means refusing to support a service (and losing all access to its content).

Most people refuse to give things up though. Which is why people usually either just shrug and keep paying, or just switch to piracy of some kind.

Pretty sure the complaint with cable was that you couldn't customize what you have. Not that having everything cost more than streaming. You can still customize your package by just only paying for the streaming services you want. Plus most of them allow you to cancel WAY easier than cable did.

I canceled Netflix a while ago because it didn't seem worth the price I was paying anymore, but even I will admit the streaming services are still miles better then cable ever was.

Cable is more complicated than you think. Each channel takes a cut from every cable package. Some as low as .11 cents and even lower, but some really high. I believe ESPN is the highest and it alone takes like $39 out of every cable package. So the cable bundles are set up in a way that the company doesnt go bankrupt. You imagine customizing your cable package? I want ESPN and HBO. Sure, thatll be $54. FOR ONLY TWO CHANNELS?!

Im not defending the cable packages but at the same time, Id have the same pricing structure if I owned a cable company because I have no choice. Trust me, when theres corporate greed Ill call it out like I did with this topic. But Ill also do my homework first and see if theres a legit reason why prices are the way they are.

Not even streaming services are safe from Bidens shrinkflation!

Do what I do, wait for the entirety of a show to be released, subscribe then immediately cancel

Speaking of which.. the final part of Ozark is out soon

I cancelled Netflix when they raised the price.

I plan to get it again in half a year or so for just one month to binge any new content exclusive they may offer.

Normies get slapped lol

First Netflix is still cheap as fuck compared to what you get from it. Second they only recently started enforcing a bunch of stuff and took out the "unlimited free month" loophole that let tons of people have it for free. They are now working on getting rid of the "share accounts" loophole while let more people watch it for free from each account than paid for it.

Not exactly scum for wanting to be paid for their content, which they actually pay for.

Second, just do what I do, and rotate which streaming service you have at any time. You don't NEED netflix all the time (although you might want more than one with a child). You don't need Disney all the time etc. Instead, whenever any of the streaming services release a TV show (or in hbo max's case movie) you want, you get that service for a month.

Netflix is $10 for 1 screen and $15 for standard (2 people at once, HD available). So if you have a kid who also likes watching it, pay the extra $5....and honestly if your kid watches netflix alot (especially educational shows) it's worth the $15 a month right there.

Same with disney, it's not that expensive to have all the time, if you have a child it pays for itself easily each month, just get both, or possibly the Disney/Hulu bundle. That is STILL $30 or so a month total for all of that (Hulu+Disney+ESPN+Netflix) which is enough to keep you entertained forever.

IF you don't have kids or share the account with another person (and btw if you share it with 1 person and split the cost, it's only $8 each), then just switch it up. I only get disney if there is A: a movie I want to see on it (like eventually Doctor strange 2), or B: a new season of a show I like (mandalorian/bobba fet/what if/loki etc). I get Disney maybe twice a year.

Same for HBO Max. I'm not a big fan of going to movies, so if there is a new movie i'm interested in (I got it for Dune and then for the new matrix in the last year) I'll get HBO max and whatch whatever shows/series have come out in that month as well.

In general, I usually have 1 streaming service going every month, but which one it is changes. With prices increasing my average $ I spend per month has increased from $10 to $13 or so I would say.

But I always have unlimited shows to watch at any given time, and usually I have brand new ones.

I switch between Netflix/Disney/Hulu/Amazon Prime/HBO Max....so not quite 6 of them, but close. Most I get 2 times a year, with netflix being the one that fills in the "blank" months since it has the most (older shows etc) that I like to watch (I have an insane backlog on netflix actually like 30+ shows I want to watch but can't get to.

Meanwhile my friend in Oregon has comcast cable and pays over $200 a month for it. I'm trying to get her to switch away from that, and we planned on doing it last time she visited but got distracted.

Years ago, when my wife was alive, that was us. Our cable/internet package started at $120 or so a year, but after the first year it jumped up to over $200 a month. I called and got a discount but it was still $150 or so and that is when I switched to just using cable and netflix/hulu/amazon prime (back then no disney yet).

The streaming services would literally have to multiply their costs by 10 for it to be comparable to the cable companies and you STILL get more out of the streaming service than cable lol.

Btw, best bet honestly is just to get 5 friends and go all in together on the premium plan.

Even with your daughter watching as well, the likely hood of you all watching at the same time (4 people can stream at once) is pretty freaking low, and it would only cost 5$ each that way, you can stream in untra HD etc.

At this point though I would say the 10$ plan isn't really worth it if you even have 1 other friend to share with. Instead of splitting the cost, one other person can get Hulu/Disney/Espn for $15 a month and you get netflix for $15 a month. You both end up paying 7.50$ for each service that way, you have Disney for your kids, ESPN (if you care) for you, Hulu for current shows and some anime/past shows that aren't on netflix, and netflix for the rest, and you both only are shelling out $15 duckets a month.

WAAAAY better than cable, and you don't have to worry about getting 4-5 friends and splitting costs ($5 each etc).

And that is the reason cable is dying out and streaming services are becoming more popular.

No one wants to pay for a package, people don't have 100-200 channels they want to watch. They have maybe two or three. Something had to change and that is why we have streaming. Paying $20 - $40 a month for two or three streaming services is much more feasible then paying $80 a month for 150+ channels you will never touch.

Most people still have to pay for internet (I get it free here), so that still means paying a decent amount per month to a company for that (30-60 or so).

Still the insane cost for cable on top of that is enough to pay for every streaming service, hbo, showtime, a bunch of other premium channels I can't even think of, and also buy like 4-5 brand new movies on DVD every month easily lol. It's crazy. My friend has been paying $220 a month for her cable/internet combo for years. I introduced her to hulu etc and and working on getting her to switch over just to that. It's a bit more complicated then normal due to her son being special needs, so getting him to use new services can be difficult.

Still the insane price she is spending (basiclaly $2400 a year more then if you streamed), makes it worth the effort. In the last 5 years alone that is 12k she has given to the greedy cable companies she could have saved instead.

This doesnt make sense in this case because Netflix is taking the F2P model. What I mean by that is F2P games create problems which can be solved by making purchases. Clash Of Clans, you only got 2 dumbass builders. The problem? Shit is taking way longer than it is for everyone else. Solution? Buy the other builders.

Im okay with that because it is F2P, and they need to make something for their work.

Netflix isnt F2P, and just one day decided to add a 480p cheap mode which costs more than it use to be. They also created the problem of different viewing limits. Obviously the single viewer at a time is the cheapest. But if you want it like you had it before its way more than it use to be. See what Im saying? And Im not trying to be rude but I cant comprehend how youre even defending this.

Im not cheap. I dont mind paying more if I see the value. If I see where the increase is coming from. But our shareholders want more isnt a valid reason. Especially since the documentaries are starting to suck. Shit, fools on YouTube are making better documentaries on Ted Bundy than Netflix.

HornedLion posted...

but I cant comprehend how youre even defending this.

I'm defending it because at least to me, you get an extreme amount of value for the price, especially compared to cable, or for that matter most other streaming services as well.

I mentioned above I have like 30 shows in my backlog on netflix. I watch a decent amount per month that I have it, well over 60 hours (15 hours a week). Which means even if I was paying 15$ a month for it, that would STILL be 25 cents per hour of entertainment, and it's all new shows that I actually am interested in/want to watch (due to my backlog of good shows).

Compare that to ANY of the other streaming services and it's an insanely good bargain. I might get HBO max for instance, but generally I do because they have a new movie that is out. It's $15 and I watch a 2 hour move, then sometimes catch up on a few series or watch an old one, but yeah, I never watch it, Hulu, Amazon prime or Disney nearly as much in a month which I have them, as I do Netflix.....and I have netflix at LEAST 2x as much as any of the other services.

So to me, $15 is still an extremely good deal, and honestly I can't tell the different between the HD or not HD even though I watch on a very high resolution Laptop (I couldn't tell the difference on my 4k tv either back when I actually used it).

Straight up, Netflix has a new show every single month, pretty much for the last few years, that I am interested/want to watch. This month for instance it has had a few, but the biggest was the new season of Better Call Saul. Unlike other streaming services they release the whole thing at once as well, so I can binge watch to my hearts content (my favorite way of watching.....spoiling me for all other things...damn you netflix).

I get being unhappy due to a price hike, that is 100% understandable, but netflix has been getting taken advantage of for awhile, both with it's free trial before (Which they plugged) but then STILL by people sharing accounts to multiple people (often many many people).

Netflix pays for all the content it streams, even the obscure shows etc, and decides what to pay for every month. I am sure they are making a profit, but they SHOULD be paid for people who watch their content. For the most part they have just closed loopholes, but yes, they also boosted prices by about 10% across the board.

That sucks, I get it, but honestly I could see the raising the BASE PRICE (but include full streaming in HD) all the way to $20 as being fair. Then on top of that $5 more per additional user. THAT would still be fair, and people could share accounts still to reduce the price (since so many people have netflix you almost HAVE to know family or friends who use it as well.

Remove the cap on additional users (or make it like 10), and whole families, groups of friends etc, could share accounts and still pay only $5-$8 a month each that way.

If your solo/all alone it would suck a bit, and be more, but jeez, Netflix freaking releases original content every single month, usually in enough genres for almost everyone to have something to look forward to and watch. It's an insane value to get a WHOLE FREAKING NEW SEASON of a show, or movies, or both EVERY MONTH on top of all the other stuff you can watch and pay less then say HBO max costs.

I would flat out rate NETFLIX above all the other streaming services, and it's cheaper than most of them (other then Disney Plus). Outside of netflix I would rate HBO Max as #2 (but far behind) and then probably Disney over Hulu/Amazon etc.

My top 3 I guess would be #1 Netflix (By a large margin) #2 HBO Max and #3 Disney...followed by Amazon after that (Since it does have some good original stuff that comes out, just not every month. Hulu barely ever has anything new for me at all, and crap all original content. Paramount/Peacock etc (had them all) do have some good shows (yellowstone rocks, I really enjoyed 1883 and Mayor of Kingstown etc), but they don't really rank up there with the big boys.

IF someone put a gun to my head I'd ask them to pull the trigger, but if they put a gun to a little girls head and said "Choose one streaming service to keep and never use another or the little girl gets it" I would choose netflix (then I would hunt them down and kill them so they don't threaten any other little girls.

Netflix is probably over all the best/cheapest, most cost effective for of entertainment available right now, other then Kindle Unlimited maybe (although you can get alot of books for free from libraries so it's not exactly the same.

As far as being a fan etc, I am just grateful when I get something from a company over a long period of time and the value in my opinion is good. It's why I like/support Epic even though many people hate it. They have given me TONS of content/games all for free, and others for great deals over a long period of time. I appreciate that.

Netflix has given me more original content/good shows to watch, and allowed me to watch other channels good shows with no commercials (and in binge watch mode) than any other channel/streaming service. It's had my favorite shows as well, across the board. I'm currently waiting for or have in my backlog so many different shows on netflix that I really COULD never watch another streaming service (not that I would, there are things I like on disney/hbo/amazon/paramount etc). They have over the last 5 years especially gained loyalty from me and understanding if they raise prices as they have given me so much value in that time. I feel like I have gotten far more than my moneys worth from the, and I really appreciate all the solid entertainment they have provided to me.

So I get if your upset, and I understand that it can be frustrating (Especially with kids where money can really be tight and matter), but I strongly stand behind Netflix as a company and appreciate their business model.

lmao what a week for you wolfy first saying that having a job as an at-will employee is comparable to slavery and now licking the boots of a multi-billion dollar corporation because they offer "good value" gtfo

You were wrong about that like you're wrong here. Good value or not they can afford not to fuck over their customers but of course corporate capitalism demands constant growth and profits so fuck all the people who are already paying into their coffers, they best keep shilling because the 'Flix wealthy ass shareholders can't stomach flat profits

Shrug, my opinions are my opinions. I don't expect everyone to agree with me, and sometimes not even many people at all. It's how I feel though and I try my best to explain why I feel that way.

I still feel there are many people in the US who are "stuck" in a situation that is equivalent to a form of slavery, and I certainly feel that Netflix offers great value compared to other similar companies.

You don't have to agree with me, and I'm not going spend a ton of effort trying to convince you. I also don't really care if my method of explaining my opinion doesn't come across perfectly or if you can take what I say and change the general meaning by choosing specific parts etc. I write by stream of conciousness and very fast, which often doesn't translate my meaning that clearly. I repeatedly said I didn't think it was the same as slavery for instance or even indentured servitude, but my general point, of people being trapped do to health care concerns, family etc obviously didn't come across (or you just plain don't agree with it, which is fine).

As far as Netflix, again, I said how I FEEL, and what I think it's worth. To me, they have given me a ton, way more then the money they have taken from me, and I appreciate that. Not everyone sees things the same way, and again, they may not have used it as much etc. That is fine. I'm not going to start a religion worshiping netflix, I just appreciate the company and would be sad if it was gone, even if I had to pay more money to keep it.
