I used to pirate stuff way back when companies made it too hard or inconvenient to purchase legally. When Netflix came out originally, I stopped pirating over night. Back then, it was super convenient, affordable, and hassle-free.

Today, Netflix has turned into garbage. Firstly, it monitors your screen and blacks out the feed if it thinks its being recorded. So whats the issue? Well, if you're using a M1 macbook and can't natively support 3 monitors, you can get an app called Displaylink which extends your screens to 3 or 4, but Netflix falsely detects this as a screen recorder. There's no way to dispute it, you're just stuck disassembling your setup and forced to watch it on a 13" screen.

Next, my sister and I used an account together. When we paid for the premium account, it allowed for 4k feeds and up to 4 people using it consecutively. Well, their greed finally caught up to them and they decided that didn't make them enough money. Now they care if the 4 people don't live at the same address and force you to pay for an extra account. So my gullible sister did it and purchased an add-on for me to be able to use her account. So now we are paying nearly twice as much. Worst of all, the service is not even the same as it was, but is now worse. In the past, since 4 people could view consecutively, my room mate would use the account on the main TV while I watched in my room. Again, this was the advertised service so it wasn't like we were abusing Netflix. Well, Netflix once again decided that multiple people cannot use the same account even if they live together, so now I am paying for a service I am not even able to use.

So thanks Netflix. As soon as this month is up, I am cancelling this trash service and am going back to downloading the shows instead - at least until they bring back their old premium plans and make it less of a pain to use.

This company found my portfolio site and felt it was a good opportunity to use my contact me form to market their services to me. It is as annoying as robo calls. It is especially annoying as I am applying to jobs and checking my inbox for replies only to find spam trash from this stupid company. Would give 0 stars if I could.
