I’m still paying $0.

[–] chase_what_matters@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Yeah I cancelled with the last increase. Just insane.

[–] schizo@forum.uncomfortable.business 28 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Huh it’s Tuesday again.

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 7 points 2 months ago

Yep. And Netflix is telling us they'll raise prices again when they see you next Tuesday...

Daily reminder that your local library probably has a free streaming service and at the very least still loans out DVDs

Our library has a shit streaming selection but a ton of blurays which can uh be “borrowed” using a computer Blu-ray drive…indefinitely…..

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

If you still pay for this service, bend over and stop complaining.

Dropout.tv is half that price and has reams of actually enjoyable content.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 10 points 2 months ago

Okay, but that isn’t remotely the same as what Netflix or similar platforms have. Dropout is comedy based shows that started as a rebranding of College Humor. Not everyone wants to watch comedians guess each others secrets, play randomly made up games or watch drag queens play a TTRP. I’m not against it, I happen to enjoy some of the shows. The comparison doesn’t work.

Arrrrr, too bad…

[–] ClassifiedPancake@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 months ago

I usually only subscribe to Netflix like twice a year for one month when enough content has piled up for me to watch. It's so not worth it any more to keep this shit running.

I'm paying $7 for my seedbox and that's it

Is there a way to prevent/skip the ads on the ad plan? Does pi-hole work?

Edit: I should have been more specific. LOL Not on browser, I'm on ShieldTV Pro.

[–] eddanja@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

B'come a skallywag, matey.

[–] stardust@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

Maybe browser with ublock origin? Worked for Amazon video when I last tried it.

[–] retrovalkyrie@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Canceling Netflix was such a good decision. I was there in the beginning, but I’m never going back.
