I hate the fact that Netflix is getting more and more expensive, but I still think it’s a really good deal.
There are a lot of shows and interesting movies and I hope it stays that way.
If I had to buy everything I watch on netflix, it would end up being more expensive (4-5 movies a month, 2 tv shows simultaneously).
I still buy blu-rays for my favorite movies even if I only watch them every 4-5 years.
Maybe one day Netflix is gonna end up being more expensive than just buying, but it ain’t the case for now.
And about the redesign, it’s difficult to judge without trying it first, but I ain’t a fan of the bigger thumbnails.
Usenet subscriptions are an even better deal.
Paying for better quality and reliable access. Enjoy your torrents, when you grow up and care about bitrate, compression, audio quality, and ease of access come on back and I’ll be happy to walk you through it.
Don't be a gatekeeping dick. I was there to use limewire and had only learned of Usenet 4 months ago and the benefits are non obvious by design.

What is Usenet?
Tons of tutorials out there but think of it as two pieces 1 is a bunch of servers that hold Stuff 1 is an index that tells you what that stuff is
If you're willing to pay $5-15/mo for ease of use, it's a reliable way to get data of all kinds. Some is even legal.
Tldr: It's the client-server version of torrent's peertopeer
Okay thanks for the explanation. Although I wouldn’t want to download without supporting artists.
Well, unfold your jolly roger and then you won't need to buy anything (except maybe a VPN service)
