I am going sailing…

I can’t believe how people can commit such heinous sin by suggesting garbage websites like [movie-web.app]. Someone did this to me this morning and I was absolutely thankful enraged.

      People have been paying to see ads for years. Amazon has had it for at least half a decade, Hulu had it before that (though much more limited in scope). Ad-supported is not a new thing. It’s just Netflix was relatively good at one point, before every media company and their uncle wanted a bigger slice of the pie.

      You’re not paying to see ads. They’re just subsidizing the cost of the service.

    My Wife and I talked about this price increase and we’re cancelling. If they ever get around to releasing Stranger Things or Wedneaday we’ll sub for a month to watch them. Or Aarr!

    Guys, my advice is to never use Stremio, it’s a torrent streaming platform. It might take a few minutes to setup add on but it’s still not worth it! What Netflix is doing is fair and people should deal with it!

      If you care about your privacy and/or want a better experience use Jellyfin, and avoid this and Plex and other closed source streaming apps.

      Indeed! Definitely avoid the torentino add-on and just pay for all the different subscriptions totalling more than what cable costs these days. You’re welcome.

    The only reason I still even had Netflix was because my parents used my account. I canceled when they cracked down on sharing outside the home. What am I paying for 4 screens for if I can’t use them elsewhere. So happy to be done with them and haven’t missed it either.

      I have it free through T-Mobile and still use my Plex server for any movies on Netflix because I can get 4k BluRay quality. Hell, you can even request that the torrent download start to end effectively letting you stream it. Make sure to only do that on healthy torrents though because it’s awful for the health of smaller torrents.

      Same. The only reason to keep a consistent subscription was because I was sharing it. Now I’m subscription free!
