I've cancelled my subscriptions to only subscribe to the platforms owned by our national broadcaster even if there's one of them I don't watch any shows on, fuck those American platforms.
The shittyfication goes forward...
Eventually they will start making shows based on the user watching the show.

Annnnd goodbye Netflix subscription
I was looking to cut down on subscriptions and picked Netflix as an experimental one. I haven't missed it at all. Things like this make me less likely to occasionally reactivate for a couple of months as I was originally planning.
I wonder when they'll see a big enough effect to break their current run of fucking over their customers.
And canceled my sub
Netflix can fuck right off as I cancel my subscription and board the Jolly Roger
I dunno at some point I’m just gonna stop watching tv and find other ways to entertain myself.
Netflix doing their best to lose whatever customers they have left rofl
Bye Netflix, hello plex.
Edit: hello Jellyfin, as helpful users have mentioned the enshitification of plex to me.
I have some bad news for you
I used this service in a rental for the first time in a few years. It sucks compared to other streaming services. I don't even know what people are possibly watching on this thing.
I started using it right after they launched their streaming service. Back then it was awesome. No ads, nice UI, and lots of great content, so for a good price.
But that was a long time ago.
I cancelled my subscription several months ago. And I should have done it much sooner. The difference between what is was way back in the day and what it is now is jarring.
I think a lot of people keep paying for nostalgia reasons, and because of a futile hope that Netflix might somehow go back to that earlier version. In retrospect I think that was a big part of why I kept my subscription for as long as I did (which was obviously a mistake on my part).
