This is so strange to me. I guess people enjoy being ripped off and getting less and less value for their money.

    Yeah, I thought we had figured this out after Twitter. Or Reddit.

    FWIW, I did not remove my subscription, but I did respond to the recent price bump by downgrading to a lower tier, and we’re still sharing it (if they ever shut us down for that I’m certainly not paying a second sub, but so far the locations are close enough and it’s used rarely enough in one of them that it’s never been an issue).

    The big thing that I did was to go back to physical media and home streaming. Boycotts won’t work, but that? That might. At least it’ll make it less likely for physical media to be fully eliminated as an option.

      Physical media FTW. I wish it was easier to obtain movies and shows physically. I like to own my stuff.

        I love physical media but I also know that if I was buying everything I’m watching on Netflix, it would be way more expensive than my subscription.

        Still I love buying dvd’s and blurays.

          I would have to sanity check that math, honestly. I am so sporadically in so many of my media subs that if we counted by watched items as opposed to all items you get access to it may break even.

          That said, I’d be lying if I said I don’t have BluRays still shrink-wrapped that I haven’t watched, so I guess it does cut both ways.
