There is no “value” in pirating. It makes you a common thief, no different than the guy who breaks into your car and steals your radio. I fail to see where theft can be justified under any circumstances.
I pay nothing for Netflix because it’s included with my T-Mobile cell plan.Pay to watch ads or pirate to not see ads.
Ridiculous that the legal way gets you less value.
The crackdown was wisely nuanced… I think the strategy is to annoy you… you eventually will be asked for a code that is sent to her if you don’t watch from her IP address once a month… that kind of strategy gets rid of ex partners etc pretty cleverlyweirdly enough, i've never gotten kicked off of my sisters account on my apple tv since they've started the password crackdown

YouTube has a free/paid model and they generated more revenue than Netflix.
I wonder if Netflix would generate more revenue if they let people watch for free with ads
It's almost like the excess value being left on the table during the early cord-cutting era of cheap ad-free subscriptions was too good to ever last. Now we're slowly migrating back to pay-for-ads like we had with cable, except now you have to pay for every channel. 🤣🤣None of the paid options should have ads. That's part of the point of paying; to avoid ads.
Of course no mention of profit because they’re not making any.
I actually made a mistake, Netflix's generated revenue is slightly higher than YouTube. Very narrow difference the last few years, like $31 vs $29 billion. But it shows that model works.Do they? I thought Netflix still generated more revenue than YT.
Although this feeling may be diminishing a bit in the freeware/freemium world we now live in, a perception has long been that free content means lower quality content. For that reason, some streaming services like Disney+, Max, Netflix, etc. may be hesitant to go free.

Having a paid streaming VoD subscription is just the same as anything else you pay for as far as entertainment. Each business offers different content, and they certainly are not going to please everyone. You're less likely to criticize the free sites but they still are likely to be ad based now. Example Tubi. If for your locations your OTA TV broadcast content is meager, and you find going to the theater way too expensive then VoD subscriptions are not that expensive to utilize compared to those TV bundled utilities in many countries. It amazing you ditch the old cable/satellite TV provider companies and you can really afford two or more subscriptions. Not everyone is that discerning for content either, in spite of Netflix content lacking at times, its a lot better then OTA broadcasters that gave up on a lot of shows, movies and went to mostly reality based content. One network I won't name has nothing but so so game shows most of the day, thats very boring.Why do people put up with these companies. I just dont get it, Oh wait, don't ever underestimate stupid people in numbers.

... or pay for the ad-free version which is an actual option.

If someone steals a car radio the original owner is left without a radio and likely a repair bill.There is no “value” in pirating.

That’s too logical for some around here (but I tried making that point too)
It's 2024, nearly every service has an ad-feature and they are usually the highest amount of paid subscribers. It's time to move on.
