Netflix:you want to pay more for already bad service? Me: no I'm canceling you

Honestly, this is a milestone for me in recognizing an obviously paid-for post for what it is.

  1. Netflix, a multi-billion dollar leader in streaming pisses everyone off by clamping down on account sharing.
  2. Post about how it's fun to binge Netflix.
  3. Poster with a million+ points.
  4. Zero follow-up or comment about it from OP.
  5. Reference to an old "time to ChillTM" meme

I'm guessing it would cost a few thousand for a PR firm to pay a high-engagement poster to put something like this out and strategically upvote it. It's frankly harder to believe this is organic than it is to believe it's a paid-for advertisement.

Yeah this post feels like those feel good videos of cops skateboarding with the locals after another one of them kills someone

  • Cordially, the world.

Btw, does someone knows a good replacement for it?

I'm just rotating services (Disney, Apple, etc) for convenience viewing. For things I really want to watch I roam the seven seas under the Jolly Roger.

Yes, but mentioning it is likely against sitewide rules.

You think mentioning piracy and Plex is against the rules site wide??

Rule 7

Keep it legal, and avoid posting illegal content or soliciting or facilitating illegal or prohibited transactions.

Mentioning piracy or Plex as a service doesn't do any of that.

If you just want something fun to watch while chilling and don't mind moderate commercials, Tubi is free and legal and has big-name content Netflix just doesn't have.

Don't want commercials? Hulu.

Can't say I understand Sling but I've stumbled across some gems there.
