Infinite Free Netflix hack:
Sign up for a month and pay. Immediately go and cancel the subscription. It will say the cancellation takes effect in 30 days, however they will actually cancel your subscription in 2-3 days and issue you a refund. In that 2-3 days you can watch Netflix. Repeat.
Could be the get fed up with you after the 10th time you try that, and ban you or your IP.
I’ve personally done it twice. Mostly was trying to actually sign up for a 30 day period to watch a show, but wasn’t planning on letting the subscription run unquestioned like I used to. The price is too high for that. Turns out Netflix is petty. Either you let the subscription run, or they cancel you.
Might finally get me to cancel Netflix, but who am I kidding, I probably have 6+ hours of it playing in the background daily.
The problem I really have is the lack of 4k without buying a ton of extra screens. A single screen 4k plan would fix 99% of my complaints about pricing.
You could go with YouTube if you want something on the background. Or just
pirate the mediabuy BluRays and DVDs of the shows and movies you rewatch.YouTube works for the other 6 hours of content I’m playing in the background. Netflix having long tv series keeps me on the platform cause where else am I going to find 20 seasons of one show easily accessible
Usenet
I have no idea what that is, but I’m not interested in piracy. It’s just not something I want to deal with.
I respect your choice, but I wish you luck in your endeavor of getting continuously fucked
Nah, if he sticks with it long enough streaming will collapse and a new market will give him plentiful media with a great user experience on the cheap.
Bets on how long he’ll have to wait? Cable had a good fifty years…
Cool
I moved to the $10 720p plan and haven’t noticed the drip in resolution even once.
A huge amount of my watching is done on 55” 4k TVs where the resolution drop is incredibly noticeable. Even 1080p content looks like absolute shit on them most of the time.
If you watch in a web browser then there is no drop in quality cause the browser version only plays 720p
For background content, I use either Pluto or Live TV on Plex.
It’s kinda great that, as an older person, they’re replaying all the same stuff what constantly being replayed when I was kid. And there’s news and music, etc.I cancelled my Netflix in 2018. I’ve signed back in for a single month three times over the past five years to catch up on things I’ve missed. I had a hard time finding much to watch over those three months.
Do those have Ads though? I guess I just assumed they did which is why I haven’t bothered. I have a lifetime plex sub if it matters
Yep. It’s like regular tv. Maybe your definition of background content is different from mine. I don’t mind a few commercials.
Ahh ok thanks, appreciate the reply.
I think our definition is probably the same, I’m just very anti-ad, the idea of being continually manipulated to consume rubs my fur backwards. I’m fine paying for ad free though.
I’m very much with you on anti-manipulation and anti-consumerism but I grew up in a time before the internet and have little issue with an acceptable amount of appropriately paced ads for certain content for a given price.
I hear you, I’m Gen X so grew up on cable tv. But I was also a punk rocker as a kid. As I age I find myself increasingly realigning with the values of my youth lol
5 bucks a month to a reputable VPN provider will get you access to more than you can ever watch.
Can’t use a VPN while gaming without a high possibility of bans. And I don’t care to pirate. It’s not something I’m interested in doing and takes more time/effort than I’m willing to put in for mindless entertainment.
You don’t have to run everything through a VPN just your torrent client.
I just don’t care to pirate. I’d rather pay for content tbh.
Only hanging on to an account for my parents’ sake now.
Gotta pay those writers without hurting profits somehow.
Unsubscribed years ago. Haven’t missed it.
Sounds like Netflix is panicking and scrambling. The frequency of their subscription hikes increases and increases. Perhaps they think they can price hike their way out of the dissatisfaction they have delivered to subscribers. Keep trying Netflix, find that magic subscription price point that will surely cover for all the subscribers you’re shedding with your idiocy and will definitely not hasten your arrival to 0% revenue. Increasing that price won’t lose you more subscribers right? Of course not. Burn Netflix burn.
I wonder what this Netflix live action anime ONE PIECE is all about?
Don’t care, fired them two years ago.
They’re not even slowly raising prices, they are very rapidly raising them. We’ve reinvented cable.
Some people will still say it is cheaper than going to cinemas everyday.
the capitalists are unable to understand that the “eternal growth” their books mention is not feasible in real world and in fact it is a bug. There are physical upper limits that cannot be overcome. There will not be unlimited people that will always enrol in a new subscription. They need to somehow understand that at some point a company may reach their ceiling. This is not reason to do whatever panic change in order to show growth in the numbers. It will just not happen.
Maybe they’ll actually start paying actors and writers the residuals they they are entitled to.
I’ve been a Netflix customer for over 20 years. The recent password crackdown and constant price gouging led me to cancel their service yesterday. Yo Ho MF’ers.
Already going “hybrid” when it comes to content and Netflix only survived the last round because family members voted “stay”. Not sure about the next time, especially since their little fabricated “crackdown” on sth. that was once not only tolerated, but actively encouraged definitely rubbed me the wrong way.
