Hey Netflix, the amount of Ads people are willing to endure for a paid subscription is ZERO and it will always remain so. In fact even the stupid games advertised on the top of the landing page made me use Netflix less and less, and now that they stopped password sharing I don't use it at all

Half of new Netflix subscribers opt for the $8 per month option rather than ad-free subscriptions, which start at $18 per month, the company says.

Damn, when did it get so expensive? Assuming that's USD. That's a decent amount more than Disney+, right?

Aside from 🏴‍☠️ there are simply too many legitimate pay streaming options in 2025 for Netflix to think they can do this. This will end like an arrogant urban cowboy being flung off a mechanical bull and I'm all for it.

Eventually they will start making shows based on the user watching the show.

Please see Black Mirror, Series 6, Episode 1, "Joan Is Awful"

Netflix was canceled even before twitter. It was nice until 3-4 years ago, when the quality of their service started to fall.

Is your egg too expensive?
Look no further. Our egg is much smoother and can be worn with most garments.

EggEgg. For your egg.

What the fuck is up with that image of Wednesday?! It doesn’t look like Ortega’s Wednesday to me. Is it ai generated?

Netflix peaked when it was supporting shows like Dark and Mindhunter and drove off the cliff since. My wife will subscribe for a month to watch a new season of a show like You and then cancel it again. That's versus back in 2017 when I just had the subscription all year.
