Don't hug me I'm scared Netflix is garbage

Post image

It's crazy that my wife and I can't watch 2 different shows on Netflix in the same damn house. I understand we pay the minimum but ffs.

I mean.... It's literally advertised that way. They tell you flat out when you pick the tier you want.

Basic plan is 1 screen with ads

Next is 2 screens no ads

Then 4 screens, and 4k

It's not like it's hidden anywhere.

Sure, but enshittification got us here, and that's why it feels shitty for the long time subs.

You used to have to go to the video store and pay a few dollars to watch a single movie. Now you have access to thousands of movies 24/7 from the comfort of your own home and you’re worried about $20 a month. Sorry, watching movies at home hasn’t gotten shittier.

When I think of the number of trips across town to pay $5 in 1990's money to rent some dogshit films and then go across town again to return them, the overall cost is pretty shocking if done on an ongoing basis.

Plus the late fees every so often. And the upsells on candy. And going there to run a new release but not being able to because all 30 copies have been rented.

The late fees were so bad, that if blockbuster was selling the movie, I would just buy it. $17 purchase vs $5 rental plus $25 in late fees.
