While not the newest content, it recently caused me to find and finally watch the classics Boyz in the Hood and Training Day, and this weekend I intend to watch Vice. It was also because of Netflix that I first found the new Puss in Boots movie, Blue-Eye Samurai, and Delicious in Dungeon (I generally loathe anime so those last two are fairly significant).
I think Inside Job and Narcos are Netflix only content? I thoroghly enjoyed both of those (and totally understand why people hate them for canceling Inside Job). My wife enjoyed/enjoys (she's doing a full rewatch ATM) of Orange is the New Black. The two of us also just finished binging Kim's Convenience.
They also just added some other big name content that were (I think?) Exclusive content on other platforms - specifically thinking Dune, Whiplash, and Joker.
Between discovery and availability, Netflix adds value to my life in my opinion.
100% respect for people who disagree and have contrary opinions and/or are outraged at their handling of exclusive content (ngl, I'm not happy with them canceling Inside Job). But it's good enough for me to keep around - that, and my wife is super NOT technically inclined, and I've yet to find a solution outside of a standard streaming deal (read as: anything involving sailing the high seas) that meshes with her willingness to work with it.
Edit: Spelling is hard.
This is more feel than empirical data, but Netflix feels like they've gotten markedly better over the last 2-3 months.
I get the subscription as part of a membership on some other things, but would not have paid for the service the way it's gone over the last ~2 years. That said after seeing the recent improvements, if my access to Netflix was cut off tomorrow, I'd probably shell out for the lowest non-ad tier of service.
However, mad respect for the people out there keeping the P2P/torrenting communities alive.
Edit: spelling errors
If only it'd be enforced as such

I've got a grandpa who says this all the time. He was a technician on a bunch of government contracts all through the cold war.

I had (what felt like) an epiphany (but has seemed obvious to everyone I've shared it with) some time ago:
Electrical signals are serial; they're connectionless, like UDP.
Underlying all these fantastic technologies is just aother connectionless protocol.
Fuck, you guys made it to part 2?
In a lot of ways, this is where I'd like to be, but my mind hesitation to jump from Spotify (and comparable services) is the ability to discover new music across a crazy variety of genres. Especially since it's stable and uses the same controls every time, I think I'd have a hard time leaving.
Big tech got me addicted like that.
What do you do for music instead?
my own prejudiced opinion.
Lol, okay.
Yeah, naw, I don't keep close track of ammo prices, but it was my understanding that the pandemic saw prices spike, but that they've leveled off (and started to come down, though only minimally) since the "pandemic wound down".
Though, this isn't something I keep my finger to the pulse of, so if you have more recent info, I'd appreciate it (feel free to DM if you're hesitant to post as comment).
