    My number one criticism of Netflix was that it was too accessible so this is a welcome change, I really think the higher bar will increase the quality of views.

      Do you not think it’s a bit too cheap as well? I feel guilty thieving such a quality service from them.

        Real question - not sure if you guys are serious? It’s my least used service these days due to the quality and longevity of its content (outside of the kids shows)

          I think getynge was being sarcastic and I was following suit. I do actually have a subscription because my family uses it a lot but I agree that the service is getting worse and worse. What other services do you prefer?

            Not OP but for me Netflix is useful because of weird stuff it provides, like anime and Korean romcoms.

            That stuff is definitely not anybody else’s cup of tea, so if they ever force me to stop sharing it with family and girlfriend I would readily pick any other service over it (Disney, HBO, Amazon etc.)

            Mostly Prime these days because they have some pretty obscure horror, but I don’t know if I’d subscribe if it didn’t come with Amazon Prime.

            MAX has also been pretty solid since all of the documentary channels were brought in, and the HBO originals are always good for a rewatch.

            Honestly AppleTV has been putting out some of the best OC these days, if I wasn’t getting it for free I would be okay paying for it.

              I’ve heard good things about AppleTV. My friend has been raving about Ted Lasso.

              I do feel like it’s quantity over quality with a lot of the streaming services.
