It blows my mind that people actually pay for these services other than the release groups that rip them for me.
I dont get how that blows your mind. Families typically dont have the time to jump through loops so they pretty much have to pay for some kind of streaming service. I use to sail the seas all the time but between work, family, and trying to find time to myself there's no time.

I still can't believe these release groups do their services for free. Godbless.

Max would be in my cancellation list if it wasn't because I get it for free because my cable provider from 2013 is too incompetent to update their database with the fact that I haven't owned that condo since 2015. Netflix is hanging on by a thread.
I currently pay for Paramount+ (great value) and Dropout (support indie creators). Prime doesn't count because I pay for it for the shipping, but once they start with ads, I'll stop watching it.
We're back to that place where the hassle of piracy is worth it again. The problem for studios is that technology has come a long way since the last time people had to think about "cord cutting" through piracy, and it's just too easy to do it now. The second golden age of television is coming to an end.

Donβt worry, weβll shovel more garbage reality shows into your app and wreck the ux even harder. Hereβs 40 seasons of people having diarrhea on airplanes. Expect price increases in 6 months.

Netflix did the same, but prices went up 1-2 times a year regardless. I'm no longer paying for Netflix. π€

So what are people doing to get access to private trackers? Getting sick of this, cancelled all my streaming services that kept raising prices and set up Jellyfin on my old laptop.

They realized that Netflix is heading six feet under , Amazon sucks so they can go back to making profit.
Does this count as shrinkflation...?
Absolutely. My value to price ratio has dropped significantly.
the enshittification continues. how do you continue to grow when everyone is either already a customer or would never become one under any circumstances? you make the product worse and more expensive.

My prediction is that people will get fed up with this and just stop subscribing to these services. Eventually they companies will give up on the gouging and all their content will reappear on Netflix, and we'll all end up back in 2013.
the 'download' offering is funny because you know it's not a real download you can have faith in, it's some fake bullshit where they're allowed to let you hit a button
Just canceled my service. I wasnβt watching too much on there already and this was ridiculous. They were already one of the priciest options and now I can either lose the 4k I was paying for, or bump up to $20/month? No thank you.

I canceled when they raised the price. I am DONE with all the price increases the past year.
Cancelled my subscription yesterday because of this.
Two devices is lunacy.
