I’ve been unmotivated in the past but i think it’s time to sort out an alternative.

    A: they’re betting most people will accept it, and they’re right.

    Yes. Remember when Netflix put a stop to password sharing and the internet went aflame with people declaring that Netflix had shot itself in the foot? Netflix subscriber counts went up.

    The average person will put up with so much more of this nonsense than techie people will.

      It’s why I highly recommend Fmovies, sudo-lol, and others. The barrier to entry is literally a browser and ublock origin and you can watch just about anything.

      You can send someone a link to an episode and they can watch it. No sign ups, no ads (with ad block), and pretty decent service. No explaining what a torrent is. No VPN (though I recommend it of course).

      Just pure content.

          I’m saying that it’s false to insinuate subscribers going up due to this change. That’s false. Anything about total revenue is a completely different sentence. And it likely decreased or stayed about the same as the United States is more or less the most expensive reigon.

          Perhaps they hid it among a period of growth to fool investors.
