Netflix plan to bring even more ads to even more parts of it's service.....and I plan to continue not being a customer.

Cool. I plan to continue not using Netflix. Seems like this arrangement is working out great for both of us.

Hey ! Looks ! This thing it's called jellyfin. It's installed on something that's called Truenas. It's doing the same thing as netflix.

Y'all still payin for Netflix?

What is the point of a paid service with ads? Its just really odd, like who has money for Netflix and whatever shit they are advertising? And everyone will resent these added ads on this platform, so why pay Netflix to make people hate your product.

The fact that they keep pushing the envelope with more and more ads and higher costs show that people are willing to go along with it. That is sad to think about

I wish I could cancel my subscription, alas I have none.

Morons… cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face.

There is a great episode on the podcast “99% invisible” called “enshitification “ that precisely describes this action. Every device or ‘service’ will do this once they feel they have you locked in. The case study was about John Deere and Apple, but applies here too. Interesting that John Deere settled their case and had to pay $99 million.

Time to swap media with your friends on portable hard drives and USB sticks again baby!!!

I promise I won't bring ads to my jellyfin.

We're paying for ads now. They're double whammying users and we're eating it up because everything's just too expensive.

I don't want to live in this society anymore...

I'm glad I unsubscribed to Netflix.

Good thing I don’t have Netflix then.

And I continue adding cool shit to my Jellyfin server ¯_(ツ)_/¯

How to make more people sail the high seas.

When that happens I'll be gone. I'm already at the end of my rope when pausing to read something on the screen and two seconds later they fill my paused screen with an advertisement. It's starting to seem to me that everything happening in the world today is to deflect from the sneaky invasiveness of company's wanting to sell you their shit.

Never been so happy to sail the seven seas! 🏴‍☠️🥰🏴‍☠️ Jellyfin FTW

I can’t for the life of me understand why people pay for this crap. Netflix used to be a great way to stream a bunch of shows you liked on a lot of different devices easily. It was like five dollars and it was definitely worth it just for the ease of use. It’s just too expensive now with too much crap on it that comes and goes. I have no idea why anybody puts up with it anymore. It’s either the high seas or just buy it on something like Apple TV.

It would be hilarious if all those company killed by streaming platform suddenly crawl back up from hell and make physical rental widely available again.

And I will continue pirating all the series I ever want to watch.

So done with Netflix. Streaming just isn't worth it any more; I have better things to do with my time.

Might I recommend a library card? Most libraries have a DVD/BlueRay collection to borrow. And there are books. Maybe the younguns might want to consider reading a few more books? It's good for you. Like eating vegetables for the mind.

I plan to pirate even more :D

I guess it's possible to cancel your subscription. Come over to the Dark Side! (I do recommend learning some basics beforehand though)

Enshittification is inevitable. The only variable is how long it takes.

The high seas are callin us boys! 🏴‍☠️

They're already doing this lol.

Netflix also plans to introduce “personalized ad loads and frequency caps that dynamically adjust the ads our members see, based on their viewing behaviors.” Netflix hasn’t shared any more details about how this could work. The big question is whether streaming more on Netflix could result in fewer ads per episode or film.
