Definitely don’t go to fmhy.net and definitly don’t join the !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com community. Also don’t visit torrentgalaxy.to, 1337x.to or solidtorrents.to. You probably also wouldn’t want to check out rutracker.org or therarbg.com.
But I can only cancel my subscription once, and I already did, months ago.
When will the greed stop? At what point will these corporations realize that the average American is completely stretched thin financially and will have to cease unnecessary expenses? They’re all just shooting themselves in the foot.
It‘s laughable to expect corporations to act against their only purpose. As soon as a company sells shares it takes the route of infinite growth which is impossible. First they grow their user base and once they start to inevitably stagnate, they start milking their costumers, shaving off features and laying off workers in order to grow their income. It is really the only way for them to remain existent when the market is saturated. They cannot stay in business when they make billions a year when these billions aren‘t even more billions than last year. You can‘t attract new investors that way and therefore cannot continue to exist. Enshittyfication only just started. It cannot possibly get better when they can‘t expand their user base, only worse. They know they will self destruct eventually, but that doesn‘t matter as long as shareholders get their piece of the cake and jump ship to sink the next one. Just being a massively profitable company is bad business if you‘re not growing. That‘s the state of capitalism we‘re in.
What is even left?
A VPN.
Mullvad is £5/mo. AirVPN is €7/mo.
Both are top tier VPNs. Mullvad has all RAM servers. AirVPN offers port forwarding.
Plex with Sonarr/Radarr/VPN/qBitTorrent is the way to go.
it’s amazing that they think people are going to continue to pay them at these prices for no content
Every time Netflix changes anything, people freak out and say they’re gonna lose all their subscribers.
And every time, Netflix makes more money than before, because they have awesome data analysis and have a very good idea of how many subscribers will leave and how much more money they’ll make from the remainder.
I remember when they lost like 4% of their subscribers a few years back and everyone was all doom and gloom, but they’d raised their rates like 15%
Eventually they’ll figure if they can get one person to pay 10 billion dollars a month, they can lose all their other subscribers and still hit their quarterly goals.
