This is why pirating is becoming more popular.

when pirating is more convenient than using your services you know you did something dumb

netflix danced on blockbuster's grave only to potentially be buried next to the plot

companies casually forgetting that the reason why people use their service is because it's more convenient than pirating

At this point, we may as well switch back to cable.

As someone who's been sailing the seven seas for years, all I can say is : Ahoy matey

We went from cable to livestream to cable again. Clown-based technological advancement.

It'd help if they didn't pump out 3 billion originals that all get cancelled after two seasons.

If buying is not owning, piracy is not stealing

I'd like to remind you all that when Netflix and Hulu were the only 2 streaming services piracy went down by a large percentage...we're going right back to square 1 with dumb decisions like this.

just let me watch the spongebob movie

Netflix gonna start begging us to buy a subscription

Netflix fell off so fucking hard, literally haven’t used it in years.

So glad 2024 is the year of corporations becoming desperate because everyone is leaving them after their insane price gouging spree

well its not only netflix thats F'ing up here .. KZfaq does the same bad move, over the years: increase amount of ads > people get annoyed and use adblocker > oh no less money from ads, lets make longer ads... and so on.. if i have to watch a freaking 2 -3 min ad to watch a 5 minute video i might as well just not use youtube anymore and watch cable instead

Some companies just can't understand that making your service easy and nice to use just brings in more money than being greedy.

“One thing that we have learned is that piracy is not a pricing issue. It’s a service issue. The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It’s by giving those people a service that’s better than what they’re receiving from the pirates.” -Gabe Newell, CEO and cofounder of Valve

Meanwhile pirate websites: - Does nothing - The competitions keep shooting themselves in the foot

Netflix should’ve made a free mode with ads. Have a limited catalogue of some shows and movies. Ya know, like a TV channel. Why would you pay for ads? Scummy and out of touch behaviour at its finest.

years ago cable didnt have ads. it was ad free. because you paid for it. imagine that

netflix is becoming cable and im not even surprised

If they (and many other companies for that matter) actually lowered the prices instead of highering them, all their problems would be solved, more people would register as it’d be less expensive

Considering how Netflix seemingly got away with shutting down password sharing, I wouldn't be surprised if doing this actually ends up working out in its favor, the real question is "How long will it last before things go back to rock bottom?"

I can see why people pirate so much nowadays, this shit is actual robbery.

At this point, Netflix is going to wind up dead and buried along side Blockbuster.

_Time is ticking, Netflix…sooner, or later, if you don’t make better business decisions, it’ll be your downfall… _*_your bankruptcy to obscurity._*

Netflix just bought ADs to its service, but realized that it’s killing it because they were originally an expensive AD Free service. 😂

pirating will be more popular than all streaming services in the next ten years if they keep this up.

I’ll just stay in my corner with my DVDs that I actually own.

$0 in the only price I'm willing to pay to watch ads.

Netflix's entire existence basically relies on how well stranger things season 5 does.

GabeN said this a million years ago: Piracy is a service problem

netflix has been digging their own grave for a while now

Fun fact: piracy is free

"You vill konsoom ze ads"

What greedy companies dont realize, is once you lose a customer to piracy, thats it. The rush of walking around a barrier and getting in for free is just too strong to abandon.

You know what would help Netflix, not releasing entire chunks of series all at once so that people would be more likely to watch as it comes out over all in the same time span, it would be especially nice for series like Pokémon which are designed for a weekly watch schedule

the world has truly entered a great pirate era

did everyone forget about cuties???

Thank you, Netflix! Now I have ANOTHER respectful reason to be pirate.

Let’s buy dvds again

"Boy, i wonder why people pirating our shows?"

Back to the boat 🏴‍☠️

Time to bring back out the ol' reliable DVD player.

Streaming services feel like they could be seen as a microcosm of capitalism as a whole. First, an innovation is born which takes a lot of headache out of an old, inconvenient system. The new system slowly but surely begins to spread throughout all of society. Other companies copy this system, propagating it further, eventually reaching saturation. And then, once saturation is reached, the inconvenience starts creeping back in so corporations can make more money off of it.

Netflix is asking to die

This is why Physical Media always important.

The only time I use Netflix is when I visit my parents, otherwise I just take to the high seas for the sake of my wallet + I get more content. Streaming peaked in the mid 2010s when if you had Prime and Netflix you could watch just about anything.

I just found ur channel and love it! You get straight to the point! And ur comedy is top tier haha

Love your no nonsense fast paced content

Hulu has had an ad tier for years and no one complained

The fact they added all back to the future movies, both of the best LEGO movies, yet had the AUDACITY to remove war of the worlds AND remove the original bad guys movie

Tubi must be salivating at the news

"Getting" Desperate? I thought they already were massively desperate..

Maybe piracy aint so bad after all

Netflix stop trying to piss people off challenge

Hmm...pay for Netflix and have to deal with ads because I can't afford their next subscription tier or go back to piracy, which is free. Sorry, Netflix, say "Hi" to Blockbuster and West Coast Video for me.

i always love it when a corporations greed is what leads to their downfall

I have it with ads, it doesn't give you it that often, it's not spamming you with ads, and the ads are sometimes short

I smell a company on the verge of bankruptcy

feels like an old spat video. love it

Netflix's entire business model atp is people who don't know how to pirate

Reject streaming services, embrace Blu-Rays

I'm committed to building a pirated media empire now

I terminated my Netflix account years ago and I don't regret it.

How the hell any avarage person will be interested in Netflix at all, if the subscription they want is ridiculously overpriced and the cheapest one is equivalent to free websites This should NOT be legal like- wtf??

Welp, its time to start pirating.

Pirated site + adblockers, the perfect combo

The fact that you paid to watch ads is crazy, just make it free but put an extra ad or 2 at that point

Hey Netflix, maybe if you stop announcing 100000+ new shows and cancelling them when they don't get immediate success, you wouldn't be in this position. And they wonder why piracy has skyrocketed.

If buying isn't owning, then pirating isn't stealing.

Can you imagine how much money they COULD be getting if they didn’t cancel EVERY GOOD SHOW THEY HAVE??

It’s like they want me to go back to pirating

The article you linked mentioned it's getting away with its most basic "ad-free" plan, not its basic ad plan

Shiver me timbers

“Do what you want cause a pirate is free. You are a pirate” - Lazytown

corporate greed just circled back to cable

Remember, no cuties.

Bro atleast make the ad tear FREE like disney

That moment when piracy is more convenient than the paid subscription.

Netflix has gotten worse by the tailgate end of the 2010s and they've been getting worse and worse since that it's depressing

People who pay despite ads have no brain capacity to click a torrent link.

Fun fact: I've never paid to watch a movie/show in my entire life, and they've made sure that I'll never will in the future.

THIS IS FOR KILLING BLOCKBUSTER!!!!!

"The best way to prevent piracy is to provide a better service than pirating." ~Gabe Newell

I just hit up the second-hand shop and goodwill for movies and pop em in a prortable dvd player at this point. No internet needed, I own the movie/show I'm watching, and if im not on the move and want it on the big screen, just pop it in the old console. And also those old floppy CD holder books make it too easy to pack 30-40 movies with ya

do what you want because a pirate is free, you ARE a pirate!

Netflix is almost kind of outdated with all these other streaming services. Who needs Netflix when there’s 15 other streaming services?

At this point we’re all gonna be pirates in month or so.

Netflix You have been Weighed and found wanting.

Crazy how I find more enjoyment watching my Grandma's cable then a damn no ads Netflix subscription. 💀😭

Watching ads is literally torture it kills the mood of anything literally you can be listening to shit on blast then BOOM an ad comes in just to ruin it

going back to the old way 🔥

I try to teach my family how to pirate but they never understand

This became known as the start of the Great Pirate Era

Looks like I’m gonna learn how to pirate.

Netflix charging more to give you less to watch every year

Welp, here we go again. *grabs me pirate hat*

The worse fact is they keep canceling shows people watch and adding ones no one watches

Call me Jessica Pizza
