It’s not even surprising anymore platforms do this & act all Pikachu face why piracy is spiking

Netflix & all these streaming platforms have completely lost touch & they will lose more customers in the long run

To quote Gabe Newell on Piracy

“We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate’s service is more valuable.”

    Gee, we’ve tried taking content away, raising prices, injecting adverts and forcing them to use our crappy clients.

    Why are people turning to piracy?

    Advertising and lobbying are the only thing these people know how to do.

      Not to mention removing features, like Netflix removing the ability to download media.

        If only there was a way for media to exist as a file.

        Alas, it’s just not possible.
