Netflix believes that it's difficult to compete against the free entertainment piracy offers. Not only that, it's growing rapidly too.

    Now I know this isn’t exactly Netflix’s fault, but they were doing great competing against piracy until every one decided they didn’t want to share revenue with Netflix and broke off into a dozen crappy imitations. Now no single streaming service is really worth the money they want.

      They are still the problem either way. Even back when it was just Netflix I cancelled my subscription because they incriminate their own paying customers with intrusive DRM. I was tired of only being able to watch 720p just because I was running Linux. All for a copy protection with 0% success rate since it gets ripped anyway.

    Now there are ads as well as rising charges and competing streams that also cost and have ads. So it’s back to the old days and everyone is in it for themselves.

    It’s like the last 25 years didn’t happen for them, and they learned nothing. The collective amnesia of the entertainment industry is a wonder to behold.
