Netflix: This problem we practically solved ten years ago but have been steadily and diligently working to bring back pledge to double down on those efforts and eventually make it the only viable option for a good consumer experience.

Netflix used to have plenty of content people wanted to watch, and you could share your account with family in different physical houses. Now neither is true.

Netflix: "why would pirates do this?"

It wasn't Netflix's decision to pull the content people wanted to watch. That was content creators like Disney that pulled their content to start their new streaming services. Netflix was stuck with creating their own content, which as it turns out is hard.

It was Netflix's decision to add ads to paid subscriptions and limit browsers to 720p even for accounts that pay for 4k. Neflix isn't the only cause, but they are part of the problem

it's hilarious the way they all get bugs up their asses about irrelevant problems and then dream up these punitive solutions that wind up killing their business, because they're autist morons. The executive class is the biggest single problem in capitalism - the idea that one supergenius exists who knows best how to run your special little snowflake? It's pathetic.
