Tips on how to support the show without rewarding behavior like this from the streaming services that pay for them to be made? I hate paying unfairly to greedy companies, but I also hate great shows just getting cancelled after 1 season all the time.
I don't think there is a way. Once the show is on a certain streaming platform, the only way to ensure it gets funding is to watch it on that platform.
Cancel it. I dare you. Quit Amazon like you did Facebook (or should have), and after a few months go by... you'll be surprised how much better you feel. There is so much more to life, than allowing these companies to turn you into an addict.
I paid Netflix for my family plan. Only problem is my family lives 2 hours away. Since they "cracked down" I cancled as I never use it myself. Tubi ± pi-hole is all you ever need. We really love tubi.
Convenience as others have said, but also a small group of friends or family could have it all. We had a good system for years. I paid for Disney+, friend paid for Amazon, Mum paid for Spotify, Father in Law paid for Netflix. We had it all while only paying for one service. But they got greedy and now the only subscription I've left is Spotify.
Because $8 a month won't bankrupt me and it's a lot less hassle than piracy, never mind the fact that piracy laws in my country are rigorous. Yeah yeah, VPN exists, yet I have no interest in figuring out how they'd work with a Smart TV and a PS5.
It was convenient. If I was watching a show in the living room, I could go and play on my PC and watch it there from the exact moment I stopped with a couple clicks.
For many people its easier. Not everyone has the technical knowledge to pirate. As easy as it is now, it still does require some knowledge and many people just couldn't be bothered with it, which is perfectly fine. Some people just want things to work and not worry about anything else.
At this point though, its not even about pirateing outright, cause theres a dozen websites that use the same vidstream links to just stream free (movies2watch .mx or .tv, wcostream .com etc....) with everything from hbo, amazon, netflix, disney, etc all in 1 spot the day it comes out..
Because it USED to be a good alternative to go viking. I wonder how long its gonna be until they drop the ad-free option, and start packaging streaming services into streaming package subscriptions like cable tv did, that which drove us to the sea in the first place.
Yet we're talking about a price increase here, so guess it's a pricing issue after all. Newell knew full well that pricing was the main thing - early Steam was terrible but sold AAA games as low as $4 on sales.
Piratesoftware noticed their game Heartbound was being pirated a lot in Brazil. they lowered the price in Brazil by a lot, and now Brazil's sales of the game are 25% of the revenues of the game.
I pay for a couple at a time. Usually the ones with specific shows I want to watch back catalogues of which have less torrents. It's convenient. But then I go sailing for the rest.
For many of the things I want to watch, I p much have to pirate it. Wanna watch the 1999 CGI starship troopers series? Gotta fish it up on the Bay. Wanna watch the weird science TV show? Better hope someone is either selling the complete box set (keep in mind, EXTREMELY RARE, I only found 1 being sold for like $160 in SPANISH) or waste several hours finding one seed that actually has the full series.
convenience. i like pushing a button on the tv's remote to watch stuff instead of hauling the pc upstairs/downstairs every time and hooking it up to that floor's tv
mine is strictly a Firefox household. and again, for that i'd have to haul the pc up and down the stairs and hook it up every time i go to a different floor
I have a NAS with sonarr, radarr, qbittorrent, and jellyfin on it. sonarr and radarr automatically download shows and movies as they come out and I can use jellyfin on my tv to watch it. you could do it with your computer too it's nothing too fancy. and much more convenient than manually checking several separate streaming sites, it's all in one place.
Honestly, with dish and almost all the streaming services, I find I'm reading so much more now because there's nothing out there that I really want to watch any more. Maybe dr who, but I have t even started it yet. So probably not.
That's kinda where I'm at. Are ads annoying? Definitely. Are streaming services getting shittier? 100%. I can also start and cancel subscriptions easy AF though, and it's way more convenient to just pick a streaming service off my Roku for the monthly cost of a combo meal at Wendy's and binge their content for a few months, then cancel them and pick a new service. I really don't want to spend $500 in hardware and a month optimizing and automating the setup just to screw over Netflix.
There's a lot of words there I don't understand. I also have terrible Internet, which streaming services can manage at a lower quality but downloading anything takes a lifetime
whoa slow down funny videos man, I understood maybe a word or two. would any of that solve my "i have tvs on different floors and only one computer i'd need to haul around" issue?
There are several options for self hosting media. Yes it would mean you don't have to move a computer as long as you have a local network connection and smart TVs or a streaming stick. I use Plex atm
There is a term for what's going on here. It's "enshittification". It's a four-stage process. What Amazon's doing here is late stage two, progressing to stage three. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification
Good question. I guess it depends what Imgur sees as its profit model. But if it's the usual racket of selling our eyeballs for ads, then I think early stage 2 because I don't find the ads particularly shitty yet.
ublock origin on chrome has been very effective of blocking this in germany. I have heard this from someone who is definitely not me. maybe it is worth testing in other contries too with the express goal to inform the authorities
This is not accurate. They make very little from each individual item sold, but they don't have to. Billions of items are sold annually. And the logistics is provided by Amazon, who charge for it. Aws makes more on a per item basis, but the core functional business of Amazon makes bank.
While this is true, we don't have control over what another company uses for their services. We CAN control whether we buy things through Amazon or affiliates, whether we read WaPo, watch Amazon prime, etc. This is the point. AWS employees also aren't the ones dying in their warehouses.
This is why I hate cable as well. I'm paying a ton of money for many channels and they have ads? I totally get it for the free channels. ( I live in Sweden they have a couple of channels that are paid for by the government and available for everyone.)
Yeah, my morning math wasn't accurate and I forgot Amazon already did another 25% direct cost increase recently so it's actually only a ~26% indirect increase this time ($36 increase on $139)
They just showed up within the past week or so for me. Adblockers at your router? I don't think there exists adblockers for webOS that can be loaded on a TV are there?
Funnily enough, the pirating website I use is rife with hentai pop-ups unless you have uBlock on, but apparently the browser on my parents Samsung TV has built in ad-block, which was lucky lol.
Well I'm glad I'm rich enough to afford all of these streaming services at once, and would never stoop so low as to use sites "wcostream" or "bflix." Those sites operate unethically, streaming huge libraries of content for free; and I'd never fall to piracy...
Certain would never recommend going to 1337x.to for finding torrents of movies and shows either, nor could I ever in good conscience advise people to use qbittorrent to download said torrents
Wco is vile and corrupt. They have almost every anime and cartoon ever made updated roughly the same day with new episodes of occurring shows. Fucking degenerate piece of shit website.
Pirates are a drain on our society! Did you know a VPN costs like $6 / month and anything you pirate is yours even if Netflix or Amazon takes it off their streaming service?
I am glad to see that, like me, you are a reputable man, and I thank you for being so... sharing... with your virtue. I'm going to go not bookmark those.
Yeah, I would definitely never recommend these sites, or places like MagnetDL where you can get torrents / magnet links to download nearly everything for free. Absolutely despicable
Dastardly, how will these streaming giants survive when they can't squeeze all the spare change out of your wallet? Anyone using a good ad block to visit sites like ffmovie.watch should be ashamed
Goodness, is it Talk Like A Pirate Day already? Good thing this isn't a unique and easily searchable comment, as I'd hate to be able to come back here to find this information when I get my server setup this weekend, no siree.
My gosh are you telling me that there are more disgusting websites like solarmovie.to ! When will the madness end it's like everything is rotten to the core!
And no region lock. I'd pay to rewatch Dancer in The Dark, The Savages, NewsRadio, and I heard good things about Firefly and Always Sunny. But I'm stuck with the poor preferences of the people in my country.
On these types of streaming sites it's the ads you have to worry about. And sometimes there are malicious redirects. A robust ad blocker that blocks cross-site tracking, cookies, pop ups, etc will protect you. Browsers have gotten much better since limewire's days & firefox will protect you with just 1 or 2 add-ons. Try it w/ ublock origin. I watch all kind- i certainly don't watch all kinds of stuff with protection and have no problems with infections.
Totally unethical indeed, like using Plex with Sonarr and Radarr. I wouldn't stoop so low, it would be the end of me. We need to defend the legal alternatives with all our might and support our Billionnaires heroes, they're role models for the world.
There's a bay for people who engage in that particular activity, I hear you can find a torrent of shows, apps, games etc. there. I guess the legality/chance of getting caught depends on where you live, but where I am the strongest legal measure content owners can take is to send a non threatening e-mail (they tried threatening e-mails a decade or so back but were shot down by the courts).
Get a raspbian, install samba, and relax. I have 5 HDDs with my media library on it. I'm at 27 TB with availability for up to 128 TB without adding more controllers, just don't have the hdds for that. Also the damn thing runs on 15 W.
Plex for me (I bought it before it turned into garbage) but on the plus side I have a little over 100TB.... Obviously it's all filled with ISOs and work documents.
I 2 hard drives for parity, just in case. I slowly started building it in 2010ish. Because it was one step at a time over the years, I just added drives or replaced other stuff etc. I have a decent enough home theatre set up so I like the absolute best video/audio quality "work documents" that I can get!
*Checks site out of curiosity, sees all the pings from adblocker* OH, you really should have an adblocker on that site. because adblockers don't just block ads, they also block other shit, and this site is doing that.
Adding "eh" makes a statement into a question, by asking you if you agree with the statement. "Some friggin cold outside eh?" "Still not as cold as last winter eh?" "Yeah eh?" "Yeah" Sunset o'er the Bay of Fundy.
Definitely not useful because certain movies are regionlocked on YouTube and other mainstream services, and literally can't be paid to view or access in my country. Definitely doesn't help with that, certainly not with uBlock.
The internet revolutionary tough talk with no follow through is getting pretty old. Why not be super original and post a dancing guillotine gif? We all know that none of us have the balls to actually do it.
We all want to do something, anything, that might help the future people live happier. We are just afraid of losing what we already have, and for no effect. And very few want to be violent. We are only human. Still if we push in the same direction, in any small way we can, we might get somewhere better.
The primary issue is that it's very difficult for a singular person to do so, for reasons like "The police will stop you." And "The legal system doesn't recognize it as self defence" (Even if, EG: you have a medical condition and you're being denied healthcare, so insurance companies are actively murdering you for money.), so a large mass of people need to gather together to stand a chance.
Voting third party is just a form of voter suppression, and sadly, as long as Republicans exist, it's unconscionable to not vote Democrat.
The best option in regards to voting is progressive in the primaries, Democrat in the presidential election.
Because while they won't solve the problems, they usually won't actively make them worse, and create new problems up to and including a genocide against all gender non-conforming people.
That's good, stopgap for the crisis and long game where it counts (assuming you mean progressives that want electoral reform). Progressive voters don't seem to be doing that in large numbers either.

People should stay away from the super box. Their library is too big and the interface is way too nice.

Well you can combine all streaming services with https://real-debrid.com/ but there is a fee here just to improve your library growth.

Are these websites like limewire? Will I infect my poor computer? I'm scarred from the past.
SuperfluousMeh
On these types of streaming sites it's the ads you have to worry about. And sometimes there are malicious redirects. A robust ad blocker that blocks cross-site tracking, cookies, pop ups, etc will protect you. Browsers have gotten much better since limewire's days & firefox will protect you with just 1 or 2 add-ons. Try it w/ ublock origin. I watch all kind- i certainly don't watch all kinds of stuff with protection and have no problems with infections.

Thank you!

Shouldn't, but wcostream has ads, ublock goes a LONG way though

Totally unethical indeed, like using Plex with Sonarr and Radarr. I wouldn't stoop so low, it would be the end of me. We need to defend the legal alternatives with all our might and support our Billionnaires heroes, they're role models for the world.

Sonarr is amazing. I'll see new episodes pop up in Plex and I'm like "oh, I guess a new season just started..."

There's a bay for people who engage in that particular activity, I hear you can find a torrent of shows, apps, games etc. there. I guess the legality/chance of getting caught depends on where you live, but where I am the strongest legal measure content owners can take is to send a non threatening e-mail (they tried threatening e-mails a decade or so back but were shot down by the courts).

For video playback you really don't need the speed of SSDs, even in high def.

Plex for me (I bought it before it turned into garbage) but on the plus side I have a little over 100TB.... Obviously it's all filled with ISOs and work documents.

I 2 hard drives for parity, just in case. I slowly started building it in 2010ish. Because it was one step at a time over the years, I just added drives or replaced other stuff etc. I have a decent enough home theatre set up so I like the absolute best video/audio quality "work documents" that I can get!

At the end of my sentences? We spell it "eh", and I say it all the time, but rarely write it doon.

Adding "eh" makes a statement into a question, by asking you if you agree with the statement. "Some friggin cold outside eh?" "Still not as cold as last winter eh?" "Yeah eh?" "Yeah" Sunset o'er the Bay of Fundy.

Definitely not useful because certain movies are regionlocked on YouTube and other mainstream services, and literally can't be paid to view or access in my country. Definitely doesn't help with that, certainly not with uBlock.

The internet revolutionary tough talk with no follow through is getting pretty old. Why not be super original and post a dancing guillotine gif? We all know that none of us have the balls to actually do it.
emptyother
We all want to do something, anything, that might help the future people live happier. We are just afraid of losing what we already have, and for no effect. And very few want to be violent. We are only human. Still if we push in the same direction, in any small way we can, we might get somewhere better.
Datsinginguy
ComcastLover
Big talk. Why don't you do it already?
Crowlands
The primary issue is that it's very difficult for a singular person to do so, for reasons like "The police will stop you." And "The legal system doesn't recognize it as self defence" (Even if, EG: you have a medical condition and you're being denied healthcare, so insurance companies are actively murdering you for money.), so a large mass of people need to gather together to stand a chance.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
Fine. How about voting them in line? Nah, two party system. Then reform the system by voting third parties into significance?
Crowlands
Voting third party is just a form of voter suppression, and sadly, as long as Republicans exist, it's unconscionable to not vote Democrat.
The best option in regards to voting is progressive in the primaries, Democrat in the presidential election.
Because while they won't solve the problems, they usually won't actively make them worse, and create new problems up to and including a genocide against all gender non-conforming people.
cryptonat
"Hurrdurr us vs them". You're a victim of their system and you still think it works. That's sad.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
That's good, stopgap for the crisis and long game where it counts (assuming you mean progressives that want electoral reform). Progressive voters don't seem to be doing that in large numbers either.
