It wasn't just the cost for me. It was the rise of fascism in the world in general and the fact that they are selling my watching history to everyone and anyone. Right now, they say it's for advertising and development, but I wasn't waiting around to have my content label me as undesirable.

Less important, but still a factor, was the fact that these services are constantly removing queer content and cancelling good shows. I stand by the idea that the only reason Kaos got cancelled was because it has a trans character. With the Paramount merger doomed to happen, I imagined there was going to be another purge, so fuck them.

ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS GIVE US ENOUGH TOKYO DRIFT!

that was literally the last straw for me a few months ago.... I bought a 4bay hdd enclosure, a cheap 5way switch, and got proxmox then docker then arr stack stood up on an old minipc. every month i look for a cheap hdd or two to add.

do you have any idea how much better 1080 looks when it streams from your basement and not across the country??

Probably because Larry Ellison has bought most of them and people don’t want to be inundated with pro Israel , pro fascist propaganda

I mean sailing the seas is easier - 

should I interpret this as "40% of americans cut back because money" or "40% of those who cut back was because of money"?

probably the latter, and we don't actually know how many did so

I think that 40% of Americans should spend much of the time they've spent on streaming services reading and studying socialist theory (Karl Marx and all). Seriously!

Prices will increase so shareholders don't lose any money, and morons who go, "Durr... what do I care? They provide a service I like and I have so much money I can afford to be an idiot feeding an unsustainable economic distortion in perpetuity!" will just keep right on paying the increases, and the division of the K-shaped economy will continue to grow.

There's no way way to boycott or frugal your way out of price increases while enough bougie yuppie shitheads are willing to eat any shit a company is willing to shovel them at any cost as long as they can use it as a status symbol.

I thought it would've been because they keep getting less value for money, since the services keep raising prices and fisting more ads into people.

The only streaming service worth the money is nightflightplus.com

Has Netflix tried not going to Starbucks as often, or not eating Avocado Toast?

well if you have money issues, streaming services should be the last thing you buy anyways. just pirate it or watch on a streaming site that does it for you, or watch clips on Yt, they pratically give out the whole story on YT anyways.

THIS JUST IN: PEOPLE WITHOUT MONEY SPEND LESS

My Jellyfin server is doing great. My only constraint is my free disk space

That plus they’re full of trash.

Shoutout Dropout tho.

I'm sure Netflix, Hulu, and similar services will compensate for subscriber losses in the usual manner: by continuing to increase their prices and further screwing over their remaining subscribers. You know, the time-honored cable/satellite TV strategy.

In fact, that's already been happening for several years. Which is why (along with them offering mostly shit content that I never watched) I cancelled almost all my streaming services a couple of years ago.
