      I never had Netflix. Or any streaming subscription. I considered it once, several years ago, but I couldn’t justify it at prices then, and I sure as shit won’t waste my money now. I’ll help them save their bandwidth.

      I had Netflix and Hulu about 10 years ago and it was worth it. Then I dropped Netflix and got Prime. Dropped Prime and Hulu then did Disney+ bundle…that was good but now I sail the seas with friends. So much better. So many movies and shows I would have missed out on.

      I didn’t mind the small increase to 11.99, but the way they’re doing this just rubs me the wrong way.

      They’re not only increasing the sub price, but tinkering with the display quality too AND laying people off… Netflix just doesn’t deserve my cash when I can access most of this content via other means.

      I got rid of a bunch of subs at the beginning of the year, getting rid of NF too.

    I think I’m going to buy one of those sketchy streaming boxes with thousands of channels.

    That or learn how to download and host my own content.

    Anyone have any thoughts or ideas?

    Edit: just realized what sub I’m in. Guess I better start reading up.

      Like the commenter below said, Streamio is the answer. We use Streamio with Torrentio plug in running on a cheap windows PC and its been very good so far.

      Buy PIA VPN. Look up a guide to setup Plex, radarr, sonarr, and jackett. You can get fancier once you’re comfortable with how everything works

      A NAS or an old PC for hosting Plex and I’m not sure if Nvidia is still updating the Nvidia Shield TV, that one was one if not the best Android TV box

    I wouldn’t subscribe to Netflix if it saved their families from cancer. Stop fucking increasing your prices while you decrease service.
