I have the standard. Netflix aint worth no 20 bucks plus a month. It aint even worth what I pay.
It really ain't worth $20. I only keep Netflix because my mom loves binge watching a bunch a shows on there. I barely watch anything on there outside of WWE RAW. This shyt is getting expensive though. I try to pay at least 6 months worth so my CC isn't charged every month.

I just watched a video talking about how piracy is back in a big way. there's only so much nickel and diming people are gonna put up with. that said, it also said that a streaming company needs like 200M subscribers to turn a profit, and that's simply not feasible for ANYONE outside of netflix and amazon right now.

services like MGM+, peacock and AMC+ have so little original programming, they can't even justify their cost. and them putting in ad supported tiers at the original price is fukking diabolical.

I'll never understand how a generation of pirates just threw it all in the bushes out of no where. These Corps really pulled the rug from up under our feet.

Everyone I knew (black, white, man, woman, young and old) all used sites like livewire, frostwire, piratebay etc in the 00s/10s. Now people will look at you :scusthov: if you tell them you still download music or pirate movies/TV. At my office the people that genuinely still do are the white men in their 50s, it's so weird
:mjlol:

I'll ask my coworker—28, if he watched ______ and he'll look at me in the eye and say "no, because it's not on _____ steaming service"

Like what does that have to do with anything.

:russ: it like @beenz drop said in the video: at that time, it became more convenient to pay the price the streaming service was offering. It was better to pay for the service than to search for a bootleg link.:manny:

The trick is just to rotate the apps. It's a hassle but that's what I do. Other than Amazon which is already included into Prime.

Yeah but I'm retrospect we should've known these bums we're gonna get greedy.

It could almost cost as much as cable, when we were trying to run away from ads and dumb shows.
