I was happy to pay to access content. Then it changed. First with the content getting worse and the price increases, but then - and this was the straw that broke the camel's back - when Netflix made the no account sharing decision.
I'm a single person household, and I don't watch much TV. I can't justify that shit. "But the lowest tier" - fuck no. I'm not paying for a low bitrate 720p stream with ads.
If they had been just a little less greedy, I'd have happily continued giving them £18/month for literally the rest of my life, but no. They have to chase infinite growth.
I already had a Plex server for films and stuff that weren't available on Netflix, but now I've gone full piracy.
You give them an inch and they take a mile: this is why we cannot concede! If they want us back, they'll have to put a message in a bottle!
