Comment on Netflix may hike prices after success of password-sharing crackdown

I’ve been a Netflix subscriber for a long time. The ease of use, the broad catalog of weird foreign films and shows, and the kid-friendly content have kept me on board after ditching Hulu, Disney+, and pretty much every other streaming service. And I have the disposable income to make the convenience worth it, even though I’m fully capable of, shall we say, sailing the high seas.
If they do this, I’m dropping Netflix. It’s just not worth it anymore.
Netflix should take the departure of people like me as a canary in the coal mine. If I leave, then other long-term, formerly-happy customers will depart, too. This will be the start of a death spiral.

Stremio with torrentio plug-in, almost as easy as Netflix, much broader catalog

Broad catelog, but lacking in seeds for older episodes. Try watching Simpsons S04, E08 as an example. I can guarantee there will be no active seeds. It’s good for recently released content however, but will never be as good as legit services.

Try watching Simpsons on Netflix.

I can see it easily, lots of seeds too. Usually if it’s on a streaming platform, it’s also available as a torrent, especially if it’s as popular as the Simpsons.
Less popular shows, especially in languages other than English, may be harder to watch, but then again, it’s free, so it’s a price I’m willing to pay.
For instance I couldn’t find any torrents for Tattooed teenage alien fighters from Beverly hills . I can live with that. Also, I’m sure it’s not on Netflix either

Do you have a debrid account for links?

That’s not free, and close to the cost of Netflix.
