It will look like piracy

Arrrr

Back in the day, I stopped pirating shit and had Netflix. That covered 95% of the content I wanted and was EASY. As more and more streaming services popped up and the prices increased while content floundered I've gone back to pirating. I'm not about to pay $100 a month for a handful of streaming services that can and will yank their content at any time. I really don't WANT to do it this way, but it's again easier and faster with more access to content if I sail the high seas. So here we are, full circle back to where the OG (pre-Netflix) cord cutters started.

You've taken the words right out of my mouth!

I was happy to pay for Netflix, I thought it was very reasonable that I paid for 4 streams and 1 of those streams was at my elderly parents house, Netflix lost us the second we couldn't do that.

My family and parents still get to enjoy Netflix content, via torrents and Plex, but Netflix no longer get to enjoy my monthly payment.

Ultimately Netflix blocking families from sharing an account forced me to realise my home internet uplink was fast enough to stream 1080 to my parents, and a friend, with ease.

So I guess I can thank Netflix for that.

It’s a tale as old as time.
