Looks like as long you can reach the other person within 15 minutes to get the code. It's all fine?

My system is 100% automated. Sonarr + Radarr + Prowlarr + Deluge + SABnzdb FTW. I stuck to using torrents for years but about 6 months ago I switched to Usenet and the $10 p/m for the Usenet provider and $30/year for an indexer is definitely worth the money. Now instead of having hundreds of seedless torrents in my queue, my system downloads even the most obscure media at a speed that completely saturates my connecti…
First rule of usenet! do you want it to end up like zlib?
Torrents tend to stay somewhat alive way longer.
I miss the glory days of rapidshare, fastupload, rapidleech, megaupload ...
I'm still waiting for Netflix to update their profile transfer tool to allow moving profiles to a new account. I was sharing an account and now also have my wife's account. I'd really like to be able to move my profile from the old account to my wife's account to avoid losing history, but the tool currently only allows moving to a completely new account. I really think such a feature is necessary if Netflix really wa…
Would it really be that big of a deal to start over? I get the annoyance of starting over on something like YouTube or Spotify where you've built up libraries of people/artists you follow, videos/music, playlists, etc. But Netflix is just watch history basically. You can't even really trust stuff in "My list" to stick around because their library of content rotates so much. And it's not like their recommendation syst…
Not knowing where you ended up, which episodes you have already seen are annoying. Especially if its between seasons
that is a big part of the netflix value proposition. You sit back in your coach, and just binge watch the next recommended thing
My Mom lives on the West Coast while we live on the East. She's almost 70 and on a fixed income, so I pay for Netflix access for all of us and I'm happy to do so. However, if they block her access I can't see any reason to keep my 4k plan. I can get anything we want on a Plex server and give her whatever she wants to watch that way. I was already on the fence with the lack of content on Netflix, but this may just be…

If you're in a long distance relationship, you're in two different households, and need two different accounts. Before there was Netflix, there was cable TV; did you expect to share that with your significant other? What other services do you share cross-country that way?
> What other services do you share cross-country that way? Email, phone, password manager, ... any other internet based service. Netflix is not like cable. Cable is provided by a physical wire connected to one location. Netflix is delivered over any internet connection. If I pay to have multi-device access, it should not matter where those devices are located.

Plex isn't necessarily piracy.
I upvoted this because it's technically true, but common "legal" use-cases involve format shifting and that puts you out of bounds straight away, depending on your jurisdiction. Even if your area allows it for "backups" or interop, you're making it available in multiple locations at once. I'm sure it wouldn't take much to demonstrate this was some sort of performance or other act explicitly disallowed by the EULA. Bu…
Netflix is hiring roles for digital ads teams where they specifically mention wanting to push ads on the platform to subscribers. Netflix got captured and is now in the process of killing its core user experiences paying customers enjoy. It's inevitable poor performance as a result of these unfriendly changes and the terrible content they create has enacted death by a thousand cuts we see for each one of the online p…
quality! mwah! beautiful! I want the product team working on my tombstones...they know death

> "Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem." - Gabe Newell, 10+ years ago Yet nearly everyone complaining here today about Netflix is complaining about the price.
The additional context needed is how fragmented the content library has become. Netflix has so much less popular content compared to 10 years ago.
A couple extra taps is not sufficient friction to claim that “service” is the problem.

I'm not you so I don't know your situation but the thought of having to manually download and share media whenever my mom calls me up sounds miserable. I'd rather just pay for her subscription.
