@tfm May as well raise that Jolly Roger flag.

I don't mind paying for things, but it was already ridiculous. This is too much even for me.

My piracy continues.

And that's why everyone is sailing again.

Are they though? I see a whole lot of talk in these threads every time and I’m not convinced. Feels like a lot of hot air

[–] locuester@lemmy.zip 6 points 10 hours ago

I went back to full arr stack and usenet when it became too fragmented and unreasonably priced.

Do people expect the price to go down?
I'm confused

Do people expect the price to go down?

Actually yeah that would be great. After all, Netflix is raking in more profit than ever (this chart represents earnings after expenses are removed):

That's billions. Billions of dollars every year that's just.. extra. Where the fuck are they wasting all this money that requires them to raise prices instead of lowering them?

I mean, we all know it goes to funding the Epstein class and making the world a worse place for everyone else, but it should go towards making their service better and cheaper.

Let's stop normalizing the predatory nature of capitalism, and instead be surprised when people don't expect better.

No, but back in 2012 no one expected the amount and quality of the content to go down so drastically either.

You’re continuously paying more for less.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 25 points 13 hours ago

They expect to at least get the same service for their money. Instead, it's gotten worse while also getting more expensive.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 14 hours ago

Peobably to stay the same for longer

Apropos to absolutely nothing, what countries do y’all use when torrenting with a vpn?

[–] nyctre@piefed.social 6 points 7 hours ago

I... Never thought it would matter. Does it? I just use whichever server is fastest or whichever server I happen to be connected to for whatever reason.

[–] rockandsock@startrek.website 1 points 6 hours ago

Ecuador and Uruguay these days.
