Oh ffs.

They need a verbal slapping. Or an actual physical slapping, what ev 😂

ioana-andrei.bsky.social•4 days ago

Netflix did the same 🥲

conductress.bsky.social•4 days ago

WHAT.

NO.

NO I PAY FOR THAT.

cooperstreaming.bsky.social•4 days ago

I'm pissed but I've known this is happening for a while. There's no amount we pay for streaming service that will ever rival the amount shows get paid for commercial placement. They're gonna force us back into it

conductress.bsky.social•4 days ago

I'm. So. Tired.

Arrrgg if your weary, rest your eyes on a softly rocking boat in the open seas 🏴‍☠️☠️🦜

Just makes the places that will let you download whatever you want, with no fees, that much more viable...

jaytaylor.bsky.social•4 days ago

Time to go back to pirating content?

Some of us never left.

My go-to sites were shuttered over the years and now it seems like everything has malware pop up ads that AdBlock can't defend against.
Or my technical ineptitude has grown as I get older....

phil.co•3 days ago

I haven't seen any ads in years using uBlock Origin.

jaytaylor.bsky.social•3 days ago

Same here.

mrkeithtaylor.bsky.social•4 days ago

I’m going back to Pirate Bay. Dutifully paid for Netflix and Amazon Prime for years without complaint as both services got worse and worse while prices climbed ever higher. Enough.

nick-lynx.bsky.social•4 days ago

This is exactly what I have done and have saved myself around $2k per year. I’m sick of funding fascists….

goetsch-a-sketch.bsky.social•4 days ago

Alright that means I cancel. I have been putting it on hold every month or so…

unseen-menace.bsky.social•3 days ago

They're all doing it now, fuck the lot of them, greedy shitstains!

mumko.bsky.social•4 days ago

Who would pay extra for no ads then?

yoctopokey.bsky.social•4 days ago

Set up Plex/Servarr stack and separate yourself from streaming forever

cooperstreaming.bsky.social•4 days ago

This is basically Greek to me

vanarchon.bsky.social•4 days ago

And likely cost prohibitive for you anyway.

yoctopokey.bsky.social•3 days ago

a bit presumptive lol

cooperstreaming.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yeah like, I'd love to do whatever it is being described if it's actually helpful, but I don't even know what any of those things are, so I'd need *a lot* explained to me.

And like u said, apparently I also can't afford it 😄

yoctopokey.bsky.social•3 days ago

The setup is essentially a nice streaming UI (plex) on top of an automated torrent system (servarr). When you add things to your watchlist in plex, servarr automatically downloads them on the backend to make them available

The NAS setup is under 1000$

Don't forget the "you can't sue us if we murder you clause"...

*tech bros put wrecking traditional ad-based television that as a model worked to make revenue to sustain show production/airing*

*of course their streaming model doesn't make enough revenue, always in the red*

*tech bros bring back ads*

Sigh, at least we got on-demand streaming out of this.

Remind me not to buy anything that advertises on no ad subscriptions.

incognitjoe.bsky.social•4 days ago

i'm on their no-piracy tier with similar conditions

djwickstrom.bsky.social•4 days ago

Disney plus too.

marilynrude.bsky.social•4 days ago

Ahoy!

jamiroqueer.bsky.social•4 days ago

meanwhile, caught the SNL special on Peacock-with-ads and by the end there was an ad break between each sketch. Just no shame whatsoever

boschii.bsky.social•4 days ago

See? That's how they get us. I'm old enough to remember when cable was sold to us as ad-free tv.

prosborne.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yeah. I mean, when I think of Disney, I think of a company that needs more money. I mean, their shareholders and CEO have to share a helicopter when they go to the billionaire ball.
