  Also wanna add:

  18. Missing subtitles in the language you want (looking at you apple tv without English subtitles on local language movies.)
  19. Ads
  20. Only the 2 random seasons in the middle of a TV show are available. And new seasons not added.
  21. Ads

    As a person who loves watching movies with subtitles, this is why I’m canceling Amazon Prime. The fuckers literally won’t offer me English language subtitles for some flicks because Iive outside the US.

    I don’t care if the movie itself is in English, why the hell can’t I watch with subtitles in the same language as the film itself? Holy fuck.

      why the hell can’t I watch with subtitles in the same language as the film itself? Holy fuck.

      Probably because the subtitles have their own copyright separate from the film itself and Amazon likely doesn’t have the license to the English subtitles outside of the USA.

      The copyright system is the biggest problem here. It simply isn’t fit for purpose in the digital age, unless that purpose was to benefit a handful of legacy mega corps while harming independent content creators and stifling culture across the globe.

        Had no idea subtitles could be copyrighted separate from the film/media they’re subtitling (but, it does make sense when you think about it).

        I agree with you completely: the current US copyright system is a joke that serves little purpose (in today’s media scape).

      And rip watching a Christopher Nolan Movie without subtitles nowadays

      • derin@lemmy.beru.co ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Yep, exactly.

        Fuck you - if I’m paying to watch, I should get the very basic of features. Piracy is literally a better user experience right now.

  Also everything is just streaming. You can’t actually buy DRM-free movies (important for things like VR headsets, trips without Internet), often you can’t even buy anything at all, it’s all just the library of the streaming service were content comes and goes at random.

  There are a few what I’ll term magnet shows on each streaming service. They want you to pay for the service for the magnet shows and then stick around and watch other half-baked filler garbage or a seasons of a show they cancelled before giving them any hope of finishing their story arc.

  Most streaming networks have abundant garbage content I’d never want to watch, knockoffs of other shows, and global content that’s often of soap opera quality with subtitles.

  They also (on purpose) often offer no way to filter to the things you want to see other than search, and on search that’s often misleading or terrible too.

  It’s basically a race to the bottom just like Amazon. Junk programs created for pennies pretending to match your results.

  The whole thing is a crap fest that’s quickly becoming worse than the cable network structure it replaced.

  No, thank you.

    If you go through the front page, there is usually only 100 shows the platform is pushing, ad nauseam. Like the algorithm is maybe some shows it thinks youll like, or shows they want to astroturf. I would really like a way to go into the dregs, the shit, the stuff netflix thinks is at the bottom of my metrics. Granted, piracy doesn’t do this either (lol how would that even work? I put everything on that server myself) but I would have considered keeping my subscription if they did.
