Exactly this. I had Netflix for a while and didn't pirate for like, 5 years. Then they started cranking up the price, dramatically reducing available movies including old movies that I wanna rewatch, and telling me my family is not allowed to use the product I purchased. So fI just stopped and went back to the high seas with a renewed passion for making my own media library as extensive as possible, and giving access to friends, family, anyone remotely trustworthy.
Just one reason their stock price is down. They no longer report subscriber numbers — you can probably guess why. It’s strange to me that a public company can just hide data from investors that might reveal when a company isn’t doing so hot.
It’s also stupid they would clamp down like this on ad-supported plans. Advertisers want eyeballs, and this means less of them. Reminds me of Reddit moving to a log-in only model.

I will never understand investors. Anyone with half a brain can put two and two together when a company starts hiding anything. Investors have no idea what they're doing, they just trust the customer will make them money, get angry when they've been duped, and will do it again.
Not all investors are in it for the long run. Some just expect a short boost or go short betting on a loss.

the biggest reason is, them cancelling too many shows too soon. after 1-2 season, the show ceases to ecist. 3 if you are lucky and its thier way of forcing its end.
One of the reasons I stopped watching Netflix shows was because all the ones I got invested those were cancelled just after one season.

Stranger Things finally ended and the price for no ads went over $20 per month. That's what made me finally quit.

To be fair, too many people are using your account. 0 people should be on it.

Who remembers netflix’s “Love is sharing a password.” tweet?
I cancelled my Netflix several years ago literally the very first time I got an error that too many people were watching or a screen wasn't authorized or whatever the specific "you can't share your account anymore" error was at the time.
The fact that account sharing was tacitly allowed was literally the only thing keeping the value proposition of having the account afloat.
The fact Netflix used to actually use sharing accounts as PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL is wild to me. They leaned healily into it.
Same here. I barely used Netflix and was only paying the bill because I shared the password with family members and didn't want to cut them off.
Once they started being weird about account sharing, there was no reason to keep paying the bill. I was on the top tier too, because they said you could play on 4 screens at once, and I figured it was fair to pay extra since I was sharing the account.
Nobody in my family complained so it's likely they weren't really using it either. So instead of a top-tier account being shared among a bunch of people that didn't really use it, they get nothing.

To the high seas, me hearties!!
Been a Netflix subscriber since the early days. Talking getting DVDs in the mail, 3 at a time, watching all sorts of crazy shit, back when they let you have a profile where you could personally 5-star rate and even leave a review for movies you'd watched. Me and a friend got competitive about it, would watch movies all the time, rate and review them, we easily had lists into the 800-1000 range.
Then they deleted all of it with no warning.
But I kept with it, because although I pirate a lot, I still like the convenience of not having to download all the stuff on there, and there's still some decent releases. And I share my account with my ex-wife, so she doesn't have to pay for it. And then when I'm on vacation, usually there's a smart TV or whatever and I can log on to keep watching whatever series I happen to be on at the moment (right now it's Stargate SG1).
But the other day I got a warning about how I'm using a different device, and I had to double authenticate and reenter passwords to "allow" me to watch from my personal computer... and it made my blood boil. Shut the FUCK UP netflix, you dumb mother fucker. I'll watch the service I fucking PAY FOR, on my OWN FUCKING DEVICE, WHENEVER I FUCKING WANT TO.
One more blood boiling moment and I'll just cancel their bullshit all together. I have a gig internet connection, I can just download shit crazy fast, I don't fucking need you anymore netflix. you forget that the slight convenience of not downloading things is the ONLY reason you exist. Stop being convenient, stop being used.
sad, AMAZON cancelled the new series for stargate, maybe they thought it only reach a small audience, and not a "Wide enough audience as they claim"
Cancelled last week when I realized that I watch it almost never, the content I did consume was essentially filler, and the price was double what I originally subscribed for. I haven't picked anything else to replace it yet but I think it's finally reached the point that they are worse than the competition by a significant enough margin to matter. They really burned a lot of innate advantages. Thank you Mr. Doctorow for the correct terminology to address the situation!

Fuck em. Lots of free media out there. My local library has all sorts of stuff, and that's not even considering what's out on the high seas.
Seriously. Libraries. Support your local library!
I pay for a number of concurrent streams, so "too many at one time" is a legitimate thing. What I disagree with completely is that they want them all in one house. If I pay for 4 streams, they ought to be able to be anywhere. Because I paid for 4.
Emby: "17 people in 5 countries are watching your media. Nice."
Curious how you handle routing to your server/box, do you use something like cloudflare tunnels? Trying to get a seamless option for friends too but with jellyfin
I have a domain name, one of its subdomains uses a clodflared tunnel to send traffic back to the emby server. No port forwarding on my router.
Cloudflared tunnels are pretty easy to set up for this purpose.
So my users just navigate to sub.domain.com.au, and are presented with an emby login screen, and I manage the users in emby. It works on most smart TVs too.
This sounds very doable, will give this a shot. Thanks!
If you have any trouble setting up CloudFlare tunnel, let me know with a PM. They have changed their UI layout AND the name of some of their UI menu items, which is super annoying because the current UI doesn't match any recent written or video guides, and so now it's very easy to miss certain important aspects of the setup of the tunnel and mapping the tunnel to a subdomain.
I can at least give examples of what a working config tunnel path looks like and help troubleshoot.
Appreciate that I might take you up on that :) btw do you also use with tailscale or independently?
No, I don't use tailscale operationally.
I have installed it on one of my servers to try to understand it, but it's not in active use. One day when I have the time I'll try to do more with it. I'd prefer to mode away from CloudFlare because I prefer foss where I can, but I'm not enough of a purist to insist on it when there's something else that's easier to use, and free.
Sail the high seas, then.
Especially if it's a great TV show or a movie and you really want to keep it.
