LOL.

We pay for 4K, but we don’t get more than 720p unless we use some proprietary shit hardware and agree to their super-invasive “privacy policy” - and they expect people to NOT set sail in the high seas? GTFO…

    Cracking down on account sharing has sent lots of people sailing as well, and market fragmentation.

      Don’t forget ads.

      I’d happily pay for anything I consume if it were convenient, private, and no ads. Since I can’t get that anymore, well, it’s the high seas for me. I pay as much for high seas related services as I would for the official streamers, but the experience is 10x better.

      Netflix turning off account sharing is what sent me to the high seas. Disney+ doing the same will push me over even more.

            I’m rewatching some old stuff on there as we speak.

            Burn Notice, White Collar, Lie to Me. All great shows. Loki was good too.

            Have cancelled it to run my own media server from now on though.
