So what are people doing to get access to private trackers? Getting sick of this, cancelled all my streaming services that kept raising prices and set up Jellyfin on my old laptop.
Torrentleech has open sign-ups a few times a year. Usually near big American holidays
Visit the open trackers website a couple times a week and you'll catch some good opportunities to join some decent sites. Not the hard to get into ones but still some decent ones.

Netflix did the same, but prices went up 1-2 times a year regardless. I'm no longer paying for Netflix. 🤗

the 'download' offering is funny because you know it's not a real download you can have faith in, it's some fake bullshit where they're allowed to let you hit a button
Don’t worry, we’ll shovel more garbage reality shows into your app and wreck the ux even harder. Here’s 40 seasons of people having diarrhea on airplanes. Expect price increases in 6 months.
40 seasons of people having diarrhea on airplanes
What's the name of this show?

My prediction is that people will get fed up with this and just stop subscribing to these services. Eventually they companies will give up on the gouging and all their content will reappear on Netflix, and we'll all end up back in 2013.
Max would be in my cancellation list if it wasn't because I get it for free because my cable provider from 2013 is too incompetent to update their database with the fact that I haven't owned that condo since 2015. Netflix is hanging on by a thread.
I currently pay for Paramount+ (great value) and Dropout (support indie creators). Prime doesn't count because I pay for it for the shipping, but once they start with ads, I'll stop watching it.
We're back to that place where the hassle of piracy is worth it again. The problem for studios is that technology has come a long way since the last time people had to think about "cord cutting" through piracy, and it's just too easy to do it now. The second golden age of television is coming to an end.

Just canceled my service. I wasn’t watching too much on there already and this was ridiculous. They were already one of the priciest options and now I can either lose the 4k I was paying for, or bump up to $20/month? No thank you.
A lot of people don't even realize they aren't watching it in 4k. At least, browsers don't stream it in 4k. You have to install the app on your system for that, either on your TV app store or Windows Store (if on Windows). If you're on Linux, I have no idea. So many people watching in browsers not realizing they're paying for 4k that they never use.

It blows my mind that people actually pay for these services other than the release groups that rip them for me.

Cancelled my subscription yesterday because of this.
🏴☠️
They realized that Netflix is heading six feet under , Amazon sucks so they can go back to making profit.
Have you heard of pirate bay?
I canceled hbo max because the price is ridiculous
Is the selection even that good on HBO max? I know it probably has all the HBO shows but what I it like movie wise (for context in my country there is no HBO)
Oh BTW op just to let you know I removed your post about this on lemmy shit posting because it wasn't relevant (it's a shitposting community). Just to let you know.
