Is your egg too expensive?
Look no further. Our egg is much smoother and can be worn with most garments.
EggEgg. For your egg.

I like that they give everyone an exact date to cancel their membership.
If you see Netflix as part of a bundle, get the bundle without it. You having no choice to get out of the subscription is feeding into this.
Half of new Netflix subscribers opt for the $8 per month option rather than ad-free subscriptions, which start at $18 per month, the company says.
Damn, when did it get so expensive? Assuming that's USD. That's a decent amount more than Disney+, right?

Haven't had Netflix since the password debacle. Never even missed it. 🏴☠️

I mean, this is for the ad-supported tier. For $8/mo, it tells you right there it includes ads when you sign up.

I canceled Netflix, and then soon after moved from Verizon to t-mobile. I got Netflix "free" through t-mobile, so I logged back into my "cancelled" account like I'd never left. Netflix raised the price and t-mobile passed it on, so I was paying $4.50 for Netflix. They raised the price a couple of more times, I think, and then a couple of months ago they raised it again, and I was paying $11.00 for Netflix. After I finished watching Kaos, I cancelled Netflix. I only kept it because it was so cheap, but I rarely watched anything.
All the time I had Netflix, I also was a sailor, because I want to watch things not on Netflix. I should have dropped it the first time they raised the price.
byeeeee
After that comes the part where the AI hallucinates a world where advertising guidelines don't exist and gets the company sued for some very illegal advertising.
What the fuck is up with that image of Wednesday?! It doesn’t look like Ortega’s Wednesday to me. Is it ai generated?

I've had Netflix on-and-off since the DVD in the mail days. I tried Amazon Prime for the shipping years ago, when they first started playing with streaming. Those are the only two I've had.
I have neither now, and if it turns out I can't get the few shows I want to watch through other means, then I just won't watch anymore. Passive media isn't especially valuable to me. I have other forms of entertainment, including games, and the old stand-by, books. Outside is fun, too, when the weather isn't crap.

Not to me.
Not that it means anything here, but I'll definitely not partake. Hard pass.
Torrents are great btw
Aaaand I'm so glad I cancelled Netflix this year. All the new shows are kinda trash anyway.
