It’s insane that people are paying more for streaming services today than they did for cable and satellite tv. This shit is not sustainable. People are even pirating sports broadcasts at increasing rates. I can’t wait to see all this shit crumble.

Streaming companies at the beginning sold cheap convenience and trapped everyone with laziness and comfort. Now I'm back to downloading and storing on discs. It's a shame that for this same reason physical media is more expensive and it's rare to find a computer with a disc drive, especially laptops.
And that convenience was worth it in the beginning. I think Netflix was $8 a month. Now they’re pushing people back to piracy. They can go fuck themselves.
The Hollywood actors doing the boycott have already shown that this bubble is at its limit. They aren't poor little victims and were begging to receive, in their words, "crumbs."
Going back to searching and downloading content without restrictions is like using cyberspace as it should be - free and full of information (It's almost always useful, what matters is being real). Not this sloppy AI shit, copy paste pages (almost always AI-based), paid recommendations, ads, stupid influencers from nowhere and consumerism. I know it's not related to the main topic but I've decided to say what came to mind. One thing leads to another.

How does this work? Uses Nostr?
I’m wondering the same
LOL you just choose or search the movie you want and watch it. That's it. No other bullshit, no need for any account. Why everything have to be with nostr?
I have all the channels in the world, all pay per views, for 8$ a month lmao.
Though we are still paying for Netflix, I have Amazon prime, We have a wal mart subscription that gives us paramount plus, I pay for Daily Wire and Tucker Carlson Network to support them.
I would cancel netflix but my wife wants it and I like WWE
