Now I know this isn’t exactly Netflix’s fault, but they were doing great competing against piracy until every one decided they didn’t want to share revenue with Netflix and broke off into a dozen crappy imitations. Now no single streaming service is really worth the money they want.
Oh and all of them get progressively worse over time
This is it yeah they say that piracy isn’t a money problem it’s a service problem, one company charging 10 to $15 a month isn’t horrible when everything’s there but when there’s seven different companies all charging 10 to 15 dollars a month for a significantly smaller portion, yea people are just gonna take the path of least resistance.
They are still the problem either way. Even back when it was just Netflix I cancelled my subscription because they incriminate their own paying customers with intrusive DRM. I was tired of only being able to watch 720p just because I was running Linux. All for a copy protection with 0% success rate since it gets ripped anyway.
Man your shit just needs to be one fucking percent more convenient than piracy…
records number of subscriptions and users
piracy is hard to battle agains
I mean im guessing yes, it’s growing but, I don’t think they are in a place to complain about it concidering record subscriber counts.
Now there are ads as well as rising charges and competing streams that also cost and have ads. So it’s back to the old days and everyone is in it for themselves.
It’s like the last 25 years didn’t happen for them, and they learned nothing. The collective amnesia of the entertainment industry is a wonder to behold.
