Haha jellyfin go brrrrrrr

Sail with us on the great ship Stremio

or just get a decent adblocker and stream it.

Been having luck with ext.to as well

or stremio + Torrentio + Real debrid, this is an easier method for those used to streaming without space on their pc

Nah fuck all that. Just get Stremio + Torrentio and pair it with Real-Debrid. No fucking around with downloading torrents and building a library. Just pick what you want to watch, and watch it. Works like any other streaming platform, except everything's in one place.

Ruski streaming site + adblocker works well for me lately

I just got into Kodi/umbrella/deribit

Stremio+Alldebrid

I mean those video players lazy load so it probably just requested the next chunk and got the "you gotta pay response" same as if you returned to a specific spot with a link after a long time.

Consumers will love it because they now have skin in the game! - some exec

To play devil’s advocate:

The Netflix equivalent of this is that the show just disappears (the Marvel shows) or you get the first seasons and not the last or even the last and not the first (at one time Prime had part of Lucifer and Netflix had the rest).

The only reason that it went from free to paid (instead of just disappearing) is that they lost the licence for streaming it under Prime Video but they didn’t lose the licence for selling it.

There is a subset of shows and movies unavailable on a Netflix subscription with ads.

Absolutely agree. When I got out of college, I was like "I have some money finally, I'll support the shows and movies I want to watch by actually buying them online outright and streaming everything else legally!"

And then several of the things I "bought" got removed from my library several years later.

Then instead of 2 or 3 streaming platforms, there were suddenly 6.

Then every streaming service kept shuffling around my favorite shows.

And suddenly, the experience of paying for the content I wanted to watch became way too cumbersome.

They also show ads unless you pay more than the prime membership.

I haven't opened prime since that day.

Yeah, there's stuff under the subscription and stuff you pay for (although you can pay for anything if you're not a subscriber iirc)

It gives them a perverse incentive to remove shows from the subscription tier if lots of people are watching it. You also get shows where the first few seasons are in the sub, and then suddenly switches to pay for.

They're an easy cancel.

One of the German channels makes you pay for random episodes. So you'll be able to watch episode 3, 9 and 11 in a season but you have to pay for the rest.

Yes but I was finishing episode 9 of the 2nd season going into 10. Then poof, whole season 2 is $29.99. For a show with a bad rating probably because it's so niche if you're not from LA it's a complete dud.

psst... hey kid! the first hit is free!

The CBS/Paramount app has always had so much tracking in it that it’s blocked by most PiHole like devices and software. Even if you pay for the no ads tier they still won’t play the video if they can’t hit the ad server.

I’ve wondered if people’s watch lists are prioritized to be pay videos. The first time I saw this I wondered why my watch list was mostly pay videos: I must have misunderstood something. So I created it again with only free shows. A year later it was mostly pay

Yes I'm working on ditching these billionaires. Not quite there yet, sometimes it's a bit of a pain point with the smalah.

Did you say "I would have waited an eternity for this" when you cancelled?

Ah. Gone again.

There's a season 2?! I thought it got cancelled after the first season.
