Netflix is literally 6x more expensive while having like 6x less content too. and the content they do produce is garbage.
they actually do produce some good content it’s just rare sadly and it’s getting more rare
I’ll go to my grave mad they cancelled Mindhunter
Right? Who in their right mind cancels Mindhunter?
That was the one that soured me. No more of that nonsense.
What do you mean, they have lots of good shows that get cancelled after one season with the story on a cliff hanger
Archive 81 gang where you at?
Crying in the corner? Alrighty
Maybe I’m just getting too old, but what is the logo on the top right in the third panel?
Like the other replies said, it’s Viaplay. I don’t know about other countries but it’s fairly common here in Sweden.
Viaplay. In my country (the Netherlands) the only reason anyone’s heard of them (AFAIK) is that they have the rights to broadcast Formula 1 races here so they get a lot of signups at the start of the racing season, and a lot of cancellations at the end of that season.
I used to love HBO Max until they disrespected animators so fuck em a pirate’s life is for me too.
I use to not pay for anything, that’s how I was raised, then I learnt why, so fuck em a pirate’s life for me too.
It’s okay. I didn’t want to watch Infinity Train again anyway. 😭
I still need to get back into that cartoon! Thanks for reminding me it exists!
They’ve gone to shit since the Discovery merger. The only reason I still have Max is because I get it free through my ISP.
How do you guys find new content? I would never even know about half of what I’ve watched if it weren’t for the ability to browse the offerings of the service
Overseerr, specific lemmy subs, word of mouth
I quite a few animated shows from the past few years I like I either accidentally stumbled upon on piracy websites, through yt randomly recommending me them (before incognito mode was a thing in the app), or through other people talking about them.
YouTube critiques pops off but another good option is fmovies
Hey this is only the 900.000. time I see this, this year. Maybe post it more often so we can come to 1.000.000 !
I use to torrent everything until Netflix and as competitors began popping up it was fine as it was convenient but now I can’t keep up with what’s where. Had to dust off the hat and learned to set up a server for jellyfin. I tried being fair but they got greedy
I always be sailing the seas, me hearties. Never left her
Same, never betray those who are always on your side
I never really took off my favorite hat
I thoroughly regret not building up a physical media library over the past decade to throw into Jellyfin or something to avoid all the streaming services. facepalm
These media can be found, yarrrr
Step 1: Get a reputable VPN.
Step 2: Install uBlock Origin.
Already have step 2, have any recommendations for VPN’s?
Proton VPN, Airvpn, and Mullvad are all reputable. Proton and Air have port forwarding if that’s a requirement for you.
I use Proton VPN.
I spent years building a 20tb media archive. I got paranoid I might get caught so I turned my back up drives into encrypted Veracrypt volumes. Before I had a chance to transfer my stuff to them my piece of crap QNAP NAS died and I couldn’t decrypt their proprietary RAID encryption.
Go open source kids!
I’m sorry for your loss. The media will remain in our hearts forever! But really, the rabbit hole for media server/NAS setups/RAID configs goes so deep I don’t know where to start or what to think sooo I just ignore it currently.
I don’t think you need to worry as much once you have the media. It’s the act of downloading and sharing where people get caught.
I did it just because my wife and I are brats. We didn’t want to rely on Netflix’s whims to carry our content of choice, so now we have all of it on our server.
The original comic said 2019 in the third panel as well as HBO Go. Time for a 2023/Max edit, I guess.
The problem was not realizing in the first panel that the third panel is inevitable.
There used to be a time when you could watch Hulu without a subscription. Times change. Some other times loop.
Such disrespect for Peacock
Another main reason why I took off my hat back then was because I was a broke college kid with garbage internet speed and my only computer was a laptop. Torrenting shows sometimes means I need to have my laptop on for days. Now I have an entire homelab setup with a dedicated VM on one of my servers for torrenting and I can afford fast internet. I was pleasantly surprised how efficiently I can torrent when I got back sailing recently.
It really is the only way
I remember having some reservations and skepticism regarding the ongoing good faith of Netflix when it was the new hotness.
I was called, you may have guessed, a Luddite, and told that "it would be bad business" if Netflix fucked people over and that it’d be silly to hold on to physical copies of entertainment media.
Now I’m basically this face to the same people
