Thanks! I used to use Usenet! It's been quite some time. I think I used to get porn, back when you had to download your porn to watch it 😉
Scary thought. If nobody's doing 4K rips of a brand new hit Netflix show, the scene is not working right now. I'm inclined to think it's just gone private, but I really don't know.
Netflix "4K" is often hit and miss. It doesn't always stream at a high enough bitrate even if it's labeled 4K. Basically it's anybody's guess what encoding you're gonna get at any given moment. I imagine that makes ripping quality very random.
Compared to Amazon, where they rip right from the server lol
Man ripping from Amazon might as well be called downloading the file. Their video player sucks so much.
The only thing that's cool about it is the actor/trivia information - otherwise it really is pretty terrible lol
Could be completely wrong as I have no idea where i remember hearing this but for Netflix apparently there drm is different than others so there 4k rips are much less common. Again take with a grain of salt. But I also noticed a lack of 4k shows as well.
