Jokes on them. We already canceled our service back when they raised prices.
I’m sharing a friend’s account because she offered me. But I’ve only been using it for a handfull of shows. I guess I’ll just download those instead.
What’s the point of the regional locks, password sharing blocking, disallowing of third-party clients and especially DRM when at the end of the day I can just type any movie into my torrent client and hours later it would be on my disk shared with everyone in family with access to my Jellyfin instance?
I really want to legally watch, but if their will is to disengurage me so much then okey.As Disney said:
Heave ho, altogether. Hoist the colors high.You can get a VPN for as little as 5 bucks a month. Jellyfin can run on a wide range of devices. Streaming services only make sense when they are cheaper and easier than pirating. At this rate if you stashed all your streaming money for maybe a few months or a year (assuming you’re poor like me) you can afford a starter ship to sail in.
What’d I do?
Up Next: minimum subscription lengths to prevent users from juggling streaming services. No sir they’re not contracts.
This is fast becoming cable with extra steps.
Some already give you a 30% “discount” (i.e. the regular price is just higher) if you sign up for an entire year.
The enshittification continues, but it doesn’t affect me at all. Piracy the way to go nowadays that all streaming services suck. !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com
I don’t know this for sure but I suspect world admins probably don’t want you linking that since their users can’t even view it.
what am I not getting here… you nor OP are on world, what’s it matter?
The community were on is on lemmy.world
I can see it.
You’re not registered on lemmy.world. But I think everyone can see the link.
Technically it should’t be against the rules, since I don’t link directly to any pirated content.
Neither do the piracy communities but lemmy.world blocks them. So I guess they probably don’t care since no user of theirs can now navigate there anyway.
IIRC correctly that was the reason they stated for blocking the community.
Assume for a moment the platform providers are in a game of chicken, continually eating costs in the hope of soaking up subscribers from their (at some point) defunct competitors. Every year this competition continues, the victor needs to make increasingly outrageous changes to the service offering in order to bridge the profitability gap. Or perhaps they are betting that a chunk of savings will come from reduced spend on rights, in a market with fewer bidders for programming?
Are investors in the conglomerates even agitated yet?
I guess it’s a good thing I already cancelled last time they raised prices.
