You shouldn’t joke about these things, man.
I accidentally set up a home server running Plex/Jellyfin, and now I control all my media without paying £18 per month (and probably due to rise soon, like the US pricing) to a company that only has a handful of things I like and regularly takes away content, plus prevents account sharing.
You wouldn’t want someone else to accidentally do that, would you?
If I still watched TV, I the risk of me doing that accidentally is very high.
Pirating is not really much cheaper TBH…my media server, including power, has to run for something like 6-7 years without upgrades or repairs to break even with what Netflix would cost in that same time frame. It’s not about saving money, it’s about not giving it to them.

I find the paid with ads tier so confusing. Kind of defeats the purpose of paying.
55% of new Netflix signups between Oct-Dec 2024 were for the ads tier though.
@overload @return2ozma we periodically sign up for it when my kids remember something on there they like watching. The children’s accounts don’t show ads.
Huh, that’s an interesting workaround.
Didn’t… didn’t they just do this?
Man, ad free is gonna get fucking expensive over time. I can already see how they will weight the ad tier at “just $9.99” at some point when ad free 4k is $31.99 or something crazy.
People will remain subscribed because a $2 increase every few months doesn’t feel as bad as a $30 increase in one go.
Frogs in boiling water and all that…
“The ad-free tier. Look man, don’t even ask about cost. This is one of those situations where if you have to ask, you can’t afford it.”
Was taught that if someone asks the price, they’re concerned with wanting to pay it.
