I was one of the first streaming customers in 2007. I was a long term customer for many years. Eventually I transitioned down to the 1-member plan for 8.99 with 1080p resolution which was fine for my 1080p television. Eventually they jacked the price to $9.99 and I noticed they had secretly downgraded the streaming rate down to 720p without telling me.

So I cancelled my Netflix after fifteen years. Honestly I haven't missed it once. I look forward to cancelling more streaming services as well since the content really is going stale - I'm losing interest in most of it.

I canceled Netflix three years ago. There are plenty of other less expensive services with a higher hit to miss ratio for their originals.

Haven’t missed it a bit.

Likewise I cancelled my sub in May when due to the constant price increases/declining quality compared to other services. But despite not sharing passwords since like 2010 I put “password sharing policy” in the comment box when cancelling

Just remember that dual-layer Blu-ray discs are up to 50GB each. For no reason, you should add a few TB of hard drives under 100$ to your computer because everyone needs data.. However, if you do partake in "extended library checkouts", you can have a rotating selection of 20-80 movies all without an internet connection. And you don't even have to rewind the tapes 🙃 for the library, how cool!

Sadly, MakeMKV takes minimum 30 minutes per "job", meaning you can't just have a happy hour at the library admiring the Bluray cases, oh for shame.

Hey, you seem like the kind of person who might know the answer to this: If I produce my own video content and want to share it with others for free, say through a peer-to-peer solution where others can help me spread my creation, how would I get the right to start seeding my video?

In a March 10, 2017, Twitter thread that was promoting its original series Love, Netflix wrote, "Love is sharing a password." The single tweet in the thread garnered more than 15,000 likes and more than 4,600 retweets.

in 2016 Netflix CEO Reed Hastings said that consumers sharing Netflix account information was “a positive thing.” Hastings explained at CES that people who share someone else’s Netflix account often go on to become paying subscribers themselves at a later date, CNET reported. “We love people sharing Netflix whether they’re two people on a couch or 10 people on a couch,” Hastings said. “That’s a positive thing, not a negative thing.”

I think people are surprised that the abilities of the service they signed up for have changed. Are you surprised people have a problem with Netflix simply having those terms of service?

Considering they did not while the profits were good, you can expect someone to reasonably assume that it might never change
