Most of this sits squarely on Netflix's fault. I had stopped torrenting when I started with netflix, but their sheer stupidity between the password sharing and constantly taking down titles, not to mention the fact the rest of the industry is going copying them has pushed me to setup a plex server and share between my friends. Yarr... Ye gang be back me maytees!

EDIT: Fucking LOL, Hulu just emailed me this...

Try making a decent product again then, that seemed to limit piracy quite a bit

sorry netflix i can't hear your whining because I canceled after your second price hike. Fuck you. You sell nothing.

I've been using netflix and paying for it every month, but I also subscribe to a netflix downloader because there's no way for netflix videos to be saved permanently and that bothers me.

Gee whiz, can't imagine why...

Netflix is getting worse month after month. Same for the streaming market as a whole. Much worse service than before, no accountability for failures on their part. I would gladly pay >15€ every month if I had at least FHD, no ads, all series / animes (excluding very nice ones ). Some months ago I did an experiment: subscribe to Netflix + Disney + hbo. I still had to torrent in order to get some content (not niche stuff) and good quality. If piracy is increasing, the culpability is also on streaming services. People are fed up of being stomped on
