rather than this stupid fucking snip snap game where, instead of, as a user being able to buy into a company that’s building a massive, marvelous, library-of-alexandria-core archive of every good show ever made, you’re paying into some shitty ephemeral bullshit made by stupid greedy dickheads who have no fucking sense
Where die Netflix make it harder to stream? I always hear that wrong point. There are other streaming providers and so the selection is splitted. If Netflix would habe wanted all conted, they had to pay an adventurous sum. The pricing would be ridiculous. It is simply the market and everyone wants a piece. Not great but not Netflix fault. Less quality and higher prices instead would be a point
You’ve answered your own question. “the selection is splitted” equates to “harder to stream” for anyone wanting to stream anything but the newest, greatest, most popular. Getting the full selection back requires signing up to multiple services and then having to search them for your desired content, thus getting “less quality and higher prices”.
You are, to an extent, correct that it’s not exclusively Netflix’s fault, but I don’t think entertainment pirates care about whose fault is what, they just wanna watch a show.
It was big news when Netflix decided they no longer allowed people to share accounts. Is that not making it harder to stream?
They also attempt to combat VPNs by cutting out mid-show. That definitely makes it harder to stream.
You’re technically correct that the studios are the biggest reason Netflix’s catalogue has went to shit, but as a consumer that’s really not my problem. If studios want to make it difficult to pay for media I’ll simply go somewhere more convenient. That might mean studios get less money from me but that’s something they did to themselves.
