Netflix is woke garbage. Havent had a subscription in years

No one does, that's why they have a problem.

Yep, I can watch for free through a sibling's subscription but never bother to because the stuff they have is terrible. I liked the original Netflix when they mailed you a DVD of any movie you wanted to watch. Now they have virtually no movies, just original content that is all crap.

They lost all the good content when all the studios decided to create thier own "services". There is almost nothing with watching.

    We do that too, sign up for streaming services and cancel when they're out of content, or the special promotion ends, etc..

    peacock

    They have Battlestar Galactica. I don't think I pay anything for Peacock. There's also Tubi, Vudu, and Pluto TV that offer free streaming.

    Hulu

    They were kinda hard to cancel. Our account was completely messed up. I thought they were fine when we were paying the $12 for a year promo, not so much the regular rates. They were talking about another season of Futurama, that show has a lot of fans. We'd get it for that, probably nothing else.

    400+ DVD (yes actual DVDs) of older movies pre 2010 anyway

    I think all of our movies are in boxes. They take up a lot of room and we rarely watch the same thing twice, with some notable exceptions. Streaming really suits me. What used to be an event, going to the movies, is now so commonplace you can practically stream a new movie 24/7 as background noise if you wanted.

        WONDERFUL!

        And to all normies here who still are subscribed to it: cancel it, save some money and stop funding garbage pseudo entertainment. You're better off paying for a vpn and just torrenting shit at large. The library of great movies and entertainment in general is vast, all you need to do is click a magnet link to access it.

        They did stick by the Chris Rock performance that drove the trannies nuts.

        Wrong black guy

        Ah yes, Eddie Murphy.

        You are thinking of Dave Chappelle, he is much funnier than Chris Rock

        [–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

        90s Chappelle has some classic bits. But most of his recent specials didn't make me laugh once.

        That dozen person employee protest sure showed the nazis.

        they need to falsify history some more with their woke obsession.

        [–]RandumbZer0 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

        Long since cancelled, for good.

        Forcing vaccination on employees is something I will never support.

        Great!

        I blame all the shit shows.

        [–][deleted] 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (5 children)

        They also have a tendency to abandon their popular shows after 3 seasons or less.

        Paramount learned they need to always have a Star Trek running or people would just binge watch once a month every year.

        [–]jet199 4 insightful - 4 fun4 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 4 fun -  (0 children)

        Yeah, I used to sign up to Now TV here just to watch Game of Thrones and then cancel when it finished.

        [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

        Shit I didn't think about that. We just sign up for the stuff we want, and cancel the accounts after except for the free ones . Paramount+ is going to need a lot of new Trek to keep people there.

        [–]IkeConn 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

        We turn streaming services on and off all the time. Why pay every month when you can binge watch for a month and move on to another service. Rinse and repeat. It's like running through all the new freshman girls every fall semester.

        [–]SMCAB 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

        Got rid of Netflix as soon as they went woke.

        How much you wanna bet what you are already paying will be the ad version, and it will be higher for no ads? It's already $20 a month. Get fucked.

        [–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

        I'm not sure I'd pay anything for it. I do watch Netflix, on a shared account, but if they cut that off I don't know that anyone will have a subscription. Sharing is part of the value too, and they're talking about ending that.

        With ads they'd have to compete with the free streaming platforms, which have a lot of the same content.

        It'll be funny if Netflix put both Blockbuster and itself out of business with streaming. At first because nobody would adopt steaming, and now because big companies with the rights to extensive media collections are all going into streaming.

        Netflix only shows woke gay faggot shit for niggers.
