Once again, just say that. There’s no need to fabricate some nonsense justification for it.

Where Once again did we fabricate or justify anything?

You replied to me. Not the other way around. I was replying to OP. If your reply was not in reference to the OP then I don’t understand why you replied to me.

If you look above you will see the thing you replied to was my comment “Why go to that effort just to pay?”

There are only handful of words in the OP and you couldn’t read them all? What exactly do you think “Cant say I didn’t try” means? Try to what? Go on, take a minute.

Really? this has what to do with my statement? Did you not mean to reply to me?

And besides, If you look for a show/movie/thinger and its not available in your area does that not mean you did try? (hell of a lot more effort then I would ever go to).

Only when you intentionally misrepresent my logic. My logic was that it was easy to find where to stream shows, not to stream them. Because that is the logic OP is using for not paying.

Ah yes, knowing where I can pay (or in the case of most non us places, can not pay) is the exact same as watching the thing.

The “ease of service” hasn’t changed. What happened to just not wanting to pay? Your logic is all over the place.

Yes it has, netflix is not the same nor does it have even 1/5th the shows/movies avalible (worse so outside of the us) and costs much more ($23.99 per month now). Hell the interface alone makes me want to shoot my TV (full volume previews anyone?). There is no logic issue with not liking the changes, the only logic issue here would be thinking that people will endlessly put up with enshitification.

I don’t want to pay (I don’t think anyone wants to pay). All of what you said (well more said I said) was never mentioned by me. Really where did I (or anyone here really) spout anything about totally going to pay or sign up for anything?

And your logic of ease goes as much against your position as for it, as you can literally go to a site and type in the name of the show and that’s it (in this case download/stream the show for free). Hell your logic falls even farther apart when you factor in the next step of finding the listed legal service, signing up (if you can in your area), putting in your payment and then typing the show into the service (and in amazon’s case maybe paying again).

The issue with piracy being a service issue has not changed, I was more then happy to pay netflix $10 for the ease of the service back in the day. But now? I will pay an amount just to stick it to netflix, fuck them.

Why go to that effort just to pay?
