Brits are Europeans, so the statement wasnt incorrect

That's exactly the problem with these reboots of finished franchises. I get that they just want to use the name for marketing, but at least make something new and interesting, instead they just become filled with tropes. We have seen the facehuggers, the xenomorphs, etc loads now, come up with something new and focus on that. Which then brings us to the point that it might as well be a new franchise altogether instead of rehashing old ones.

Yeah, I get that. Personally, it looks good for most of the content I watch and it's free content, I really can't complain. The compression these days is really good.

Yes, which is why extra bitrate is valuable (depending on the video content) and the higher the resolution the video is, the higher the bitrate is. Which is why it is beneficial to watch a video at 4K even if you only have a 1080p screen.

Resolution is the same it has always been, they are just offering a higher bitrate stream with premium (except I think they offer 8K streams on premium? But like come on... who the fuck needs that).

Doesnt matter if the video is uploaded in 4K, you can watch that stream at 1080p with the same/better effect.

Depends on economies, they can't really charge like double minimum wage, so countries like India have "cheaper" subscriptions. So for a minimum wage worker, it's about the same in terms of expense (ignoring other bill differences).

So it's probably going to stay about the same for you.

I mean technically it is harder to sign up to Discord Nitro, you have to enter your payment details. Where cancelling is just a few clicks.

The only reason I would pay is for the higher quality streaming, but I think the price is too steep for that, if they had a cheaper plan with just the streaming perk, then I would really consider subscribing.

Huh? Every trial I have had, it's been like two button presses to cancel.
