Well, sure… not everyone has to self host to see what they want to see either, but my reasoning remains the same. The people signing up and paying for Netflix all of a sudden likely lack the aptitude or don’t care enough. I got a sandwich yesterday that was > $12.
A big part of it for me was seeing streaming companies removing episodes due to “modern sensibilities”. Multiple censored IASIP episodes, removing the D&D episode of Community. I think this is going to happen more and more and I want all the content. Not just what was approved by some diversity group.
The one with the blackface joke. One of the characters - can’t remember his name right now - appeared wearing blackface just for a few seconds as part of a joke implying that blackface was, well, inappropriate.
Everything I want to watch is readily available for streaming. Why self host unless you want to keep copies?
Because it’s available to stream NOW for $ but it may not be available LATER for $ or not
I didn’t say I was paying :)

Funny on the topic of sandwiches.
Two weeks ago I decided to make my own sandwiches and coffee, and all of a sudden I have $200 extra a month.
Mostly because if you set it up right it’s near entirely automated and you don’t have to worry about media availability on your subscribed service.
Edit: also a lot of the time we (Canada) miss out on a lot of content on streaming services
I also like the wide range of sources to pull down content and have it available vs sometimes having to wrestle with a streaming site in the moment.
Sure, but I meant to imply that I can stream without paying without issues.

Agreed. I am as progressive as one can be, but there are limits.
Just a few months ago I realized I haven’t seen one episode of The Office because Netflix removed it.
Just give the option to “show/hide” them. But don’t hide them completely.
What episode of the office did they remove? That’s insane.
