I'm sorry, did you say Netflix is going to be pirated aggressively for the few shows that aren't complete slop?

Don't pirate, we're awesome!
Here, watch these ads!
Hey, where are you going?
Enshittification marches on
I can't tell from the article what the AI side of this is? Are Netflix offering to make adverts for customslrs using AI? Are they just showing adverts in general from customers, including AI generated ones?
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I've read the article twice and still don't know 😂
~~plex~~ jellyfin ftw!
Couldn't pass up the opportunity to dunk on Plex, huh?
The change about streaming outside my home left me salty. The fact that they changed the deal made stop recommending them. So yeah.
And Im sure as a host you already have a Plex Pass? Probably life time?
You also could have just praised Jellyfin
I had lifetime for streaming outside my home, Yeah, I'm sure.
Then nothing changed for you with this, it only affected people without a pass
I don't have Plex pass, only the IAP to stream outside my home.
!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com Piracy ftw!
Haven't had Netflix since the password debacle. Never even missed it. 🏴☠️
Same, no regrets
Got rid of netflix when they started their ad tier. NEVER going back.
Haha, the kicker is that it's pure greed. With their prices they don't need it and could improve it with what the community wants, but $$$, hey... been away for nearly 2 years now, thought of tipping my toes in again but with that they can f... right off.
Damn. Can't believe a media company would be driven by greed.
Line must always go brrrrr.
I've had Netflix on-and-off since the DVD in the mail days. I tried Amazon Prime for the shipping years ago, when they first started playing with streaming. Those are the only two I've had.
I have neither now, and if it turns out I can't get the few shows I want to watch through other means, then I just won't watch anymore. Passive media isn't especially valuable to me. I have other forms of entertainment, including games, and the old stand-by, books. Outside is fun, too, when the weather isn't crap.
"other means"
Not to me.
One use for AI would be to eliminate all ads. The AI giveth and AI can taketh away. Lol
Half of new Netflix subscribers opt for the $8 per month option rather than ad-free subscriptions, which start at $18 per month, the company says.
Damn, when did it get so expensive? Assuming that's USD. That's a decent amount more than Disney+, right?
Actually not much more I think disney + ad free tier is like $16 now. Though I don't think they- charge extra for 4k so there is that.
Oh I was comparing Disney+ Standard to Netflix Standard. Turns out there's also Netflix Basic which is a similar price to Disney+ Standard, but with many more restrictions.
I think Disney+ Standard and Netflix Standard seem to be comparable. In NZD Disney+ is $16.99 (approx $10USD)and Netflix is $25.99 (approx $15USD) per month. Disney+ gives annual discounts as well.
None of the plans in NZ seem to have ads (yet...).
Though I don’t think they- charge extra for 4k so there is that.
Out of the two plans I see, the Standard only includes up to 1080p and 4k requires Premium, $21.99NZD (approx $13USD).
The most expensive is Amazon prime video but that's because it gets bundled with the rest of Amazon prime. Ignoring that one though Netflix is absolutely the most expensive.
Hey Netflix, the amount of Ads people are willing to endure for a paid subscription is ZERO and it will always remain so. In fact even the stupid games advertised on the top of the landing page made me use Netflix less and less, and now that they stopped password sharing I don't use it at all
Netflix was canceled even before twitter. It was nice until 3-4 years ago, when the quality of their service started to fall.
Canceled two years ago. Not coming back.
Is there a plugin for Stremio that provides a kid's profile function? That's the only thing keeping me from canceling my Netflix subscription.
Netflix peaked when it was supporting shows like Dark and Mindhunter and drove off the cliff since. My wife will subscribe for a month to watch a new season of a show like You and then cancel it again. That's versus back in 2017 when I just had the subscription all year.
Amy Reinhard sounds like an asshole
