Netflix axes its $10 ‘Basic’ plan in the US and UK - Lemmy.world

Generally it’s agreed the best way to stop piracy is by offering a more convenient alternative. I generally for example don’t pirate video games available on Steam. With streaming services being so disjoint and expensive now I’ve gone back to pirating, at least with cable you can bundle channels.

You still can…

I think Hulu has a decent bundle with Disney, and Paramount with Showtime isn’t bad.

That’s like 4 for 20 bucks. And lots of cell plans come with one free. So it wouldn’t be hard to get a lot of options for 20-40, which is still way cheaper than cable.

Netflix is just starting to get real expensive. If they’d have kept some of their originals from the last couple years I wouldn’t think of canceling, but since they cancel those shows a week after a season drops, I’ll probably drop Netflix soon.

still asking too much, I’ll keep sailing the seas if that’s how much it costs. Plex and jellyfish currently fill this role for free
Everyone’s finances are different.
Streaming black flag tv and movies has become the easiest option for me. I can watch anything from any streaming service just by searching the name of the show I want. I don’t even need to login, let alone login and pay for multiple services.
