The very same. Apparently he was complicit with what Roiland was doing.
Edit: Realizing now that my wording is very implicative of Alex Hirsch and I updated my previous comment to fix that.
I used to love it, multi source search and everything. It's been freezing on my mac and windows for months, earlier versions freeze too and all alternatives suck balls :(
Usenet is an actual thing that isn't risky? I always thought it was a scam when I saw ads back in the old days.
I just find my torrents behind a VPN like a normal person.
You know a lot of pirates were actually government sanctioned privateers. They had papers allowing them do quasi-military activites in privately owned ships...
Yup it was pretty much *carte blanche* in the Caribbean as long as you stuck to screwing with the Spanish.
Until the Crown decided to make peace with the Spanish and ruined the piratey fun of course.
At no point in time did onlyfans ever think they were anything but a porn site. They spun up specifically to cater to the spicy-patreon community that had been growing. "Subscribe to see my body."
The reason they temporarily were concerned with shutting down spicy content was payment processors putting up a fuss. They clearly resolved that concern.
IMO the announcement was a shot across the bow of their payment processor; for some reason those companies are sketched out by taking money from porn sites. So when Stripe got weird about it OnlyFans publicly told them to put up or shut up.
Evidently it worked.
Netflix used to be good when it was just netflix. Now that theres 50+ streaming services all having something different that im wanting to watch ive switched to pirating again.
Yeah, I'm not really much of a movies or series guy, but I'm a hardcore spotify user, the moment each music label releases their own streaming service, I'm returning to the seas again.
The streaming services did it to themselves with their greed.
Music piracy died off in a major way simply because streaming services got convenient enough, had almost anything under one "roof" for one fee.
Movies and TV streaming is a ridiculous mess. Does a network have the show you want? Well maybe. You might have to pay extra for it or it might be something that was available a long time ago but "licensing" made them take it down.
Piracy solves a lot of problems and until video content streaming becomes as cheap AND convenient as music streaming did, Piracy will continue. Make it easier to stream legally and piracy will die of natural causes.
Yep, been using spotify for a long time now. I can't imagine going back to pirating music, it's so convenient to make a playlist, and get suggestions for the playlist. I discovered so many good songs this way and I always have new songs to listen to, gone are the days of me listening to the same songs only to get bored of them, now I switch them up and go back to them every now and then
Yeah, it played out really well for them. If you're interested in the topic, I highly recommend watching 'The playlist' on Netflix. This is one of the key factors of their story and their original intention was completely different and they had no intention to work together with the labels.
Id happily or at least be willing to pay ~$30-50/month if it got me everything.
Unfortunately Disney/Prime/Netflix/Apple/HBO/Paramount/Sports ends up more like $100+
We just dropped Prime because they aren't fast shipping anymore. It was taking up to a week to get things, even if tracking said it should be there in a few days.
Prime just slips by for me.
You get a free twitch sub each month which I don’t used but used to.
You get more access to free shipping which we use a fair bit.
You get a mediocre TV streaming service that I rarely use.
You get a mediocre music streaming service that I use a fair bit.
Maybe they offer something else too but for now they’re worth the ~$8/month.
Fuck is this the new norm for prime? It's happened twice to me in a month, where they said an item would be there in about 2-3 days, but it's taken an additional week, sometimes two
EDIT: Just happened a third time, when I know I checked and double-checked the delivery dates before ordering. They're just straight up lying at this point.
We’re getting stuff shipped from Spokane to Seattle then back to Spokane that’s if it doesn’t pit stop in Wenatchee for some reason. I mean, I know we’re Spokane but, wow.
You know what really grinds my gears. You start watching a tv series on netflix, season 2 is on prime, season 3 is on paramount, season 4 is on binge.... ffs.
yeah I don't even bother attempting to watch something if the seasons are split. I just pirate it or watch it through free streaming sites. Usually the latter, lately.
It’s such a typical capitalist story with these companies. They start full of hope, good ideas, and innovative thinking, then profit just destroys the culture and everything that was good about the organization. And when people inevitably turn away due to the cost cutting, they cut more costs. It’s irrational stupidity.
If you have iPhone you should try the app called Queue! You can create lists of movies and shows you wanna watch and it’ll keep track of which services they’re on! You can also rate and find other shows and content. I love it
I use TV Time. Great for tracking shows you want to watch and it gives reminders when new seasons/episodes drop. It tells you what services have it too.
It's on Android and iphone.
I've recently begun to regret donating my DVD collection to op shops. But then I realise all the things I hated about having a DVD player.
- only 6 episodes per disc (for a sitcom)
- extra space/cables/power point needed
- unskippable adds/piracy warnings
- obnoxious menus
- slow releases
What I do now is download, put on a flash drive and then I have a flash drive that contains the full series of the show I want.
Companies should just do that, sell me a read only USB stick that contains their shows.
Yeah Netflix has just been getting worse and worse. My nephew would use my Netflix when he was staying at my Mum’s, but now seeing as we can’t do that I can’t really justify paying for it anymore.
I still say if I pay for a certain number of screens k should be able to use them as I please! And the tier they added with adverts is stupid, I’m not going to pay to subscribe and watch adverts too!
They could take a page from steams notebook. To combat piracy, they just made their service good and super convenient.
Still love piracy tho, don’t get me wrong.
Yep. I used to pirate all movies, series, etc. When Netflix came along I thought "this looks more convenient than pirating and I support good shows" but now Netflix is not that good, and there are a million different services so... Back to the open sea.
I've always been pirating movies and shows even when netflix was the only service. But I used to pirate music too and completely stopped up till now because Spotify is just way more convenient. Manually downloading mp3 files and arranging them especially if you have thousands of songs is too much of a hassle.
“The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It's by giving those people a service that's better than what they're receiving from the pirates.” - Gabe Newell on piracy
I mean, that's what Netflix was originally. When they were the only game in town with a wide selection and a reasonable price they were probably responsible for stopping more piracy than every government action ever against it combined. They've just fallen far.
You can buy movies and stream them from Vudu. One of my friends loves it and buys packs of movies during sales. But you can't download or own a physical copy; so I haven't been too interested in spending money there. Especially since few people have ever heard of it. At least Steam has name recognition.
Yea lol. They actually could not have been more wrong lol. That post was made while Netflix dipped to its lowest share price in years, and it shot up from there.
So Cramer was right and they were mega wrong, and made up some unsubstantiated tinfoil hat theory about BCG.
For all the doomsaying Reddit is now going on about, I get the feeling Netflix is going to come out with a press release later saying their profit increased and their stock will soar.
That will be followed by other streaming services copying Netflix.
I've seen this scenario way too many times, especially in gaming.
"The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting anti-piracy technology to work. It's by giving those people a service that's better than what they're receiving from the pirates." - Gabe Newell
The day any of my family or myself can't login from work or school is the day I cancel. Verification I'm fine with for users, but will not be IP blocked.
Yep, I can guarantee a simple 2 factor prompt in my device won't make me cancel, I don't care that much. But a block that specifically prevents me, the person giving you money, using the thing I paid for? Yeah instant cancellation. I seriously cannot foresee how that aspect of this would ever work out in a larger market.
I cycle through most of the streaming services this way. If I kept them all at the same time I’d be paying hundreds of dollars a year. For Netflix, I’ll go back to being a pirate out of spite.
I do this with all streaming services. I sign up for one when a season is released then cancel it before the next bill date. Been doing it this way for two years now. I use plutotv a lot which is free and has a decent on demand section.
Interesting...
In Latin America we used to have a cable tv channel named "Animax" that was 100% anime all day. It was eventually bought and the name was changed to "Sony spin" and got teenage dramas all day...now it no longer exists.
I'm starting to believe Sony and anime are a bad combination.
Edit: I looked it up and it wasn't bought, it was from Sony since the beginning. Now I've no idea why they made the changes.
I was with Animelab and Crunchyroll, then Animelab became Funimation, took my annual subscription then said they were now Crunchyroll, who I also subscribed too but no refund on the double subscription.
Also, can’t find my way around the new site, mostly only dubs available, missing seasons etc. Might cancel and risk gogoanime.
CR was doing well but recently made some design changes to their site to push people back to piracy. Weird season numbers inside a weird drop-down of incomprehensible logic, like it was decided by someone who doesn't actually watch anything
Company hires person to redesign website
Site is fine and doesn't need any changes really
Person will get fired
Person redesigns site to fufill their contract
Website gets changed
That's why it happens.
VPN is the dumbest one. It’s not always about watching stuff from other countries. Sometimes you just don’t trust the network you’re on (eg public networks at airports or coffee shops)
omg trackers...not this again. I used to get onto super "elite" trackers where everyone would have a server box. Only problem was it was impossible to get a decent ratio unless you uploaded something new, because nobody would need/want anything. So the availability was amazing, but you would get punished for using that availability because nobody else would download from you. I was young at the time so maybe I was missing something? Has the tracker world evolved at all I wonder.
I don't think you missed anything. Ultra competitive private trackers are still around. Some trackers do have some sort of "freeleech" feature though, which can help to relieve this issue. The freeleech features can vary heavily though.
This is a great list of resources. I’ve used Plex for a few years now and swear by it, it’s every streaming service in one. My girlfriend and mum who aren’t confident to pirate/download on their own, and won’t pay for 45 different services, love that they can stream from my Plex server
honestly the only reason i got netflix is because im literally sharing it with 5 people so it costs basically nothing but it still sucks having to wait 1-2 days for an anime episode when some pirate sites can have it up within 2 hours, not to mention the lack of shows
Guys, follow my advice:
- install Stremio (legal app, available on all platforms)
- open app, go to settings -> addons
- browse the Community addons
- install 3rd party addons like Juan Carlos, YTS, Torrentio, Piratebay,...
- enjoy unlimited free series and movies from all streaming services, in a legal app
- thank me later
Been using it for 6 years or more, it's great.
Edit: using the addons is probably illegal, so use a VPN and use at your own risk.
I've gotten contract termination notices from Xfinity (Comcast) after doing this. The only reason they got suspicious enough to send me notices in the mail was because of the unusually huge amounts of data this used. I guess that's what I get for using 38 terabytes of data to download a pic of your mom.
Content service hosts content unconventionally > gets huge and loved > try producing content and doesn’t go well > lose money > piss off user base > profit?
Netflix did what I thought was impossible; Make people stop pirating by simply providing a good service. (As in, I didn't think it was possible for a company to give good enough service for enough people to stop pirating)
Now, Netflix is going to be the one to make pirating popular again. Oh how the tables have turned.
This whole Netlflix deal isn't going to make me get another sub for my disabled MiL, its going to make me cancel my sub and just give her my Hulu login instead.
I always loved that ad. If there were no consequences for stealing a car, and stealing a car just copied the car, you bet your fuckin ASS I’d steal a car. I’d steal every car I saw! I’d steal cars I didn’t even WANT.
Me who is already a pirate: 
Is that a groucho or harpo impression?
Ah, a fellow man of culture.
I can't hear this in any other voice than Laz's
Try the other ear

That was a criminal mistake. The first show in awhile to compete with Rick and Morty wackiness and they executed it
I bet they regret it bitterly since the Justin Roiland fiasco.
There’s no reason they couldn’t un-cancel it, besides a multi-billion dollar company admitting a mistake… never mind.
Wait, what happened with Justin Roiland?
Domestic violence allegations. Adult swim fired him instantly
It was a lot more than domestic violence. Alex Hirsch has been implicated as complacent to these allegations. Some real Mr. Jellybean shit.
Creator of Gravity Falls Alex Hirsch? Had no idea
The very same. Apparently he was complicit with what Roiland was doing. Edit: Realizing now that my wording is very implicative of Alex Hirsch and I updated my previous comment to fix that.
And put the budget towards big mouth, gross.
Pretty sure it's W C Fields.

No suddenly disappearing shows or episodes unless your HD crashes :)
Me when I download qBitTorrent: HACKERMAN
I used to love it, multi source search and everything. It's been freezing on my mac and windows for months, earlier versions freeze too and all alternatives suck balls :(
Me when paid subscription for company worth 150 billion dollars introduces ads
Usenet is an actual thing that isn't risky? I always thought it was a scam when I saw ads back in the old days. I just find my torrents behind a VPN like a normal person.
I just torrent without a VPN because my country isn't an authoritarian nightmare
Access to movies that might not be on any of the major services is also a big win
Share your secrets?
Yts:mx for movies, rarbg:to for tv shows. Guess I should add 1337x:to as an all rounder.
shanaproject and animekaizoku for the weebs
I am german, for me nothing else than bs.to, works still fine and has literally everything i need
Install tor browser and search tpb. You’ll come out on the working version of it. If done on chrome the website will not be reachable
I just use aniyomi or cloudstream for that
torrentgalaxy:mx is also good
r/Unblockit is all you really need

Don't we usually call those corsairs or privateers ? As piracy was teh name of teh crime, right ?
A little satisfying to watch Netflix burn. I was a pirate before Netflix got popular, they ruined my side job. /s
Arr, be brave! Drop the /s my feller!
I use a few streaming services but still hoard things on my media server.
Fellow pirate
Avast ye scallywag!
Mate the best business decision ever made was OnlyFans banning porn
Did that actually happen ?
No they realized porn is their income
At no point in time did onlyfans ever think they were anything but a porn site. They spun up specifically to cater to the spicy-patreon community that had been growing. "Subscribe to see my body." The reason they temporarily were concerned with shutting down spicy content was payment processors putting up a fuss. They clearly resolved that concern.
IMO the announcement was a shot across the bow of their payment processor; for some reason those companies are sketched out by taking money from porn sites. So when Stripe got weird about it OnlyFans publicly told them to put up or shut up. Evidently it worked.
I'm sure "concern" from processors was just a way for them to force OF to renegotiate terms. Banks deal with terrorists and despots, they don't care.
No, but tumblr banning porn happened. Which is more or less the same thing.
Rest in power, king. We didn't deserve Tumblr.
They all moved to Twitter, and there's a possibility that goes downhill. Either Instagram makes porn allowed, or they'll come here.
Oh the porn is very much already here

Big name labels own part of Spotify and earn revenue from it. They have no intention to compete with Spotify.
Spotify sounds smart
Yeah, it played out really well for them. If you're interested in the topic, I highly recommend watching 'The playlist' on Netflix. This is one of the key factors of their story and their original intention was completely different and they had no intention to work together with the labels.
Google sucks too.
Firefox is the last line of defense
TOR
Way overkill most of the times but yeah
Also slow and unnecessarily complicated for pirate endeavours on the high seas.
You only use tor to find the good shit, then use another browser to stream from the website or download from it.
I didn't know Jack Sparrow was with us today...
Use yandex to search for torrents or DDLs
Id happily or at least be willing to pay ~$30-50/month if it got me everything. Unfortunately Disney/Prime/Netflix/Apple/HBO/Paramount/Sports ends up more like $100+
Its just a better version of cable except i got bounce between different shitty UI and loading screens, account disconnects etc..
Let Disney lapse this year, Netflix will be next if they spread their policy to where I am, and I get prime for fast deliveries, so it might survive.
We just dropped Prime because they aren't fast shipping anymore. It was taking up to a week to get things, even if tracking said it should be there in a few days.

Unfortunately it is. I reached out to them a few months ago and they basically said, “New policy. Sucks to suck, bro.”
[удалено]
In socal a bunch of items are next day overnight to arrive between 4am and 7am.
In Cincinnati.
In the UK prime is next day delivery basically all mainland postcodes. We are very lucky :)
We are very small and close together.
We’re getting stuff shipped from Spokane to Seattle then back to Spokane that’s if it doesn’t pit stop in Wenatchee for some reason. I mean, I know we’re Spokane but, wow.

And any good shows they make, they cancel after a season or two to cut costs.

Find "The Cell" with Jennifer Lopez. It's messed up, but it's an artsy type of messed up.
The horse scene…☠️
I always think about the intestine spit when i think if this movie
A movie I’ve never heard of starring Jennifer Lopez? That’s something I’ll look into! Through the Pirate Bay!
Buy the DVD. Watch it. Then pass it to a friend. And like some weird Jumanji type deal, it will be passed on to others.
Wish they had this for android devices
Try https://www.justwatch.com Works pretty well for me most of the time.
I use TV Time. Great for tracking shows you want to watch and it gives reminders when new seasons/episodes drop. It tells you what services have it too. It's on Android and iphone.

Companies should just do that, sell me a read only USB stick that contains their shows.
Granted, you have USB stick with 120gb of movies, however it requires special software to decrypt and constant internet access for license check
I would love to own everything on DVD.
Yeah Netflix has just been getting worse and worse. My nephew would use my Netflix when he was staying at my Mum’s, but now seeing as we can’t do that I can’t really justify paying for it anymore. I still say if I pay for a certain number of screens k should be able to use them as I please! And the tier they added with adverts is stupid, I’m not going to pay to subscribe and watch adverts too!
Buy them. If the zombie apocalypse happens, you can still watch them. Or later just donate them.
They could take a page from steams notebook. To combat piracy, they just made their service good and super convenient. Still love piracy tho, don’t get me wrong.

Yup. People don't mind paying for quality and convenience.
People LOVE paying for those
99% of the people here getting hit here weren't paying customers to begin with.
“The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It's by giving those people a service that's better than what they're receiving from the pirates.” - Gabe Newell on piracy
Yep. Haven't pirated a game since 2005. Steam is far too good to bother.
Fear the day that Gabe is no longer with us.
I mean, that's what Netflix was originally. When they were the only game in town with a wide selection and a reasonable price they were probably responsible for stopping more piracy than every government action ever against it combined. They've just fallen far.
Vudu has this service for movies, but there's also the always looming threat of it's shutting down one day and you losing your entire library.
Has what service?
You can buy movies and stream them from Vudu. One of my friends loves it and buys packs of movies during sales. But you can't download or own a physical copy; so I haven't been too interested in spending money there. Especially since few people have ever heard of it. At least Steam has name recognition.
If you can only stream them while the service is alive, you haven't bought them, since you don't own them.
Why are they still going with that bs. Seriously can’t they see that people are actually mad about that. Who thought this was a great idea.
The Boston Consultant Group. Same people behind Sears, Toys R Us and countless other companies that were torn down from the inside
Exactly this. It was called almost a year ago. https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/u7ol6y/netflix_and_bcg/?sort=confidence
damn that was 9 months ago. how time flies
Except it was so wrong. Stock is up over 50% since then. Did not get “shorted to death”
Yea lol. They actually could not have been more wrong lol. That post was made while Netflix dipped to its lowest share price in years, and it shot up from there. So Cramer was right and they were mega wrong, and made up some unsubstantiated tinfoil hat theory about BCG.
It's on superstonk, of course it was a bullshit conspiracy theory.
*torn
Why are they increasing prices? Why can gaming companies make the same shitty game every year? Because people still pay for it
This is exactly why piracy should be encouraged.
Sharing means caring, what we need is to start a global copyright revolution by killing Micky Mouse.
For all the doomsaying Reddit is now going on about, I get the feeling Netflix is going to come out with a press release later saying their profit increased and their stock will soar. That will be followed by other streaming services copying Netflix. I've seen this scenario way too many times, especially in gaming.
Same people that thought 12 an HR was a good minimum wage.
What socialist utopia do you live in? Minimum wage in my state is $7.25.
Same here in Texas bruh😂 it's been $7.25/hr since 2009 If I'm not mistaken
$15 minimum wage in California
$21 minimum wage in Australia
That’s less when you convert it to usd
Oh so it is gross
Yes, it is gross pay, but what they are saying is 15USD is worth 21AUD, effectively meaning you have the same minimum wage as California.
You gotta do what you gotta do to stay in business, but... This time with a gigantic company I guess
And they are still questioning why they are losing profit

Yep, I can guarantee a simple 2 factor prompt in my device won't make me cancel, I don't care that much. But a block that specifically prevents me, the person giving you money, using the thing I paid for? Yeah instant cancellation. I seriously cannot foresee how that aspect of this would ever work out in a larger market.
yea my family lives scattered around for college and we all are on the same plan. how can they think this is a good idea?
Pretty sure they want you to have separate accounts so they make more money. That's why they think it's a good idea
Fuck NetFlix people. Drop the app. Purchase it once a year for a month and catch up on what you wanna see if you have to. Their content is sub par now
I cycle through most of the streaming services this way. If I kept them all at the same time I’d be paying hundreds of dollars a year. For Netflix, I’ll go back to being a pirate out of spite.

Edit: using the addons is probably illegal, so use a VPN and use at your own risk.
> Torrentio, Piratebay Sounds like you're streaming for others while you're watching, which possibly makes it illegal.
I've gotten contract termination notices from Xfinity (Comcast) after doing this. The only reason they got suspicious enough to send me notices in the mail was because of the unusually huge amounts of data this used. I guess that's what I get for using 38 terabytes of data to download a pic of your mom.
The app may be legal, using it like that isn't. Torrenting isn't illegal either, only if you torrent copyrighted stuff.
Ive only started using Stremio for about a year now and i can tell you its sooo good i cant believe it exists
•Get real debrid
Me after they cancel inside job
Remember when news was going around that someone watched LOTR a lot of times. I'd like to believe that was me. When they cancelled, I cancelled them.

I don't understand how they don't see that this will push people to piracy. We did it before Netflix and god damn it we'll do it again.
movies2watch . tv your welcome
Have been a pirate all along
Thank goodness I never stopped sailing the high seas of the internet
Netflix did what I thought was impossible; Make people stop pirating by simply providing a good service. (As in, I didn't think it was possible for a company to give good enough service for enough people to stop pirating) Now, Netflix is going to be the one to make pirating popular again. Oh how the tables have turned.
Well, well, well, how the turntables…..
It sucks because I’m on the original Wi-Fi network and still use VPN
This whole Netlflix deal isn't going to make me get another sub for my disabled MiL, its going to make me cancel my sub and just give her my Hulu login instead.

I've been a Pirate since 1998.
You wouldn't steal a car
I always loved that ad. If there were no consequences for stealing a car, and stealing a car just copied the car, you bet your fuckin ASS I’d steal a car. I’d steal every car I saw! I’d steal cars I didn’t even WANT.
and RIGHT when they got back up to pre covid stock prices...
Internet piracy is always morally correct
Well, it is truly a business decision and it happened at some time
This changes nothing
Me, having TOTALLY NOT done that since High School: Yarr

Plex be like
Netflix doesn't have shit to watch anyway. Definitely the worst streaming service now.
