I have a netflix subscription for "free" through my phone plan, that's the only reason I didn't cancel. I'm still sharing with everyone I know because I have a plex server and just add whatever netflix shows people want to see onto it.

Real debrid + kodi. Personally never looked back

Also Stremio. And Plex if you're a data hoarder

[-] Metatronz@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I know Stremio but what's the advantage/reason for Plex in your situation? Genuinely curious!

[-] Froody@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

My guess would be having all of the stuff downloaded and accessible offline.

I just use stremio, if I rewatch something I watched a while ago it'll download the entire episode/movie again.

Plex I believe allows you to store and host data locally, removing the need to download it all over again, if you are on the same network. You can access Plex remotely but that'll cost you data again.

I am definitely not a Plex expert so someone else will have to confirm or reject what I said.

I wouldn't say people rolled over. A lot of people had the money and the means to pay. And only didn't because password sharing was easy. When Netflix crackdown on it they got their own subscription.

I haven't used netflix since this happened, but apparently its just the app on my xbox that stopped working? Its the only device I watched netflix on and I can't say that I miss it.

Another family member pays for my account 🤷‍♂️

I would've left if I actually paid for it. Currently getting it for free thanks to T-Mobile.

Don't tell them, but I still use my parents' Netflix account. I live on the other side of the county.
