Netflix double-dipping: All the revenue from both the adverts and the lowest level plan.

I hear there are some nice communities dedicated to piracy somewhere on the fediverse.

I think a lot of people stopped pirating because of Netflix, when they first started and they had a lot of good content and reasonable prices.

Now that it's just full of bland Netflix Originals and they're trying to squeeze every last penny from people already battling a cost of living crisis, it might be time to dust off the old jolly roger again.

I'm currently paying Prime and Hayu because of the shows I enjoy. Even though I have a Plex box and can easily acquire the content and watch it there, I'm totally happy to pay reasonable streaming costs of a couple of services.

But Netflix is just taking the piss at this point. Unlike Prime, I can't watch Netflix both at home and away without paying even more, and the UK selection of shows is quite frankly abysmal. I signed up for one month as staying with family, but found nothing anyone wanted to watch, so cancelled.

We're watching something on Prime almost every evening.
