Thank you for being a valued Streaming Service+ subscriber.

And pay no mind to the fact that we made 42b last year. It's definitely not enough.

@Daojoan Btw you are fired.

@Daojoan “Exceptions can be made if you can prove that you live with sharers of your account. Proof of shared status may be made with 1) valid DNA test indicating your ma/paternal relationship, 2) 3 personal witnesses available to testify in person at a branch in the Seychelles, or 3) a valid marriage license and latest tax return. Please note that a return indicating your separation from your spouse will invalidate your account; please reapply when you learn real commitment.”

Thanks for reminding me why I strictly limit subscription services to only one.

(And there are times when 1 is too much.)

This exact same business model is killing cable TV.

More ads. More junk content. More manipulation. Reductions in quality programming.

Ever increasing prices sends customers elsewhere.

@Kimota94 @Daojoan I like that Netflix lets you pause your membership (up to 3x in a row) while still allowing you to browse and build your watchlist for when you resume.

@Daojoan I got rid of them all. I only purchase movies via my Apple TV. I always buy what’s on sale. Occasionally I house sit for my daughter who has a selection of Streaming Services and I binge watch stuff I haven’t seen in a while. I refuse to pay for their enshitification of their services.

@Daojoan I've cancelled them all. Somehow I am surviving.
(Reading more books. Getting more exercise. Talking to real people!)

netflix ?

@Daojoan

I watch #AlJazeera news on youtube and grab whatever movies etc I can download for free (using a vpn)
if #netflix etc don't like that, they should stop ripping people off, oh and they should also stop removing Palestinian movies and docs.

@Daojoan We’re also updating our user agreement (which you do not need to agree to). Effective immediately, each member of your household must purchase a seat in order to view our content. Briefly walking past the screen on the way to the kitchen now constitutes one use of our service.

This change is retroactive. We have used AI to estimate how many people live in your house, and how many infractions you have likely committed (rounded up). A partner collections agency will be in touch shortly.

@Daojoan Always a great day to board the Pearl!

[oclsc@mstdn.ca]

@good_dog_rex @Daojoan I read lots of books too, always have. But I also borrow DVDs and CDs from my local library, buying stuff I like enough or that the library doesn't have. Lots of stuff there that's hard to find streaming, especially older stuff; certainly more than enough for the time I want to spend watching or listening.

[hugoestr@functional.cafe]

@Daojoan This sounds like Netflix

[defractal@infosec.exchange]

@Npars01 @Daojoan Eventually, viewers will need to develop software to coordinate pooling funds and hiring SAF-AFTRA members and other cast directly.

[joe@beige.party]

@toplesstopics @Daojoan I get $1 every time someone posts this exact thing. I've made $4,028,298

[joe@beige.party]

@deFractal @Npars01 @Daojoan I hope PBS would facilitate this - we'd happily like crowdfund George Clooney doing history shows
