This is so strange to me. I guess people enjoy being ripped off and getting less and less value for their money.

    It just proves that avergae people want their TV and don’t give a fuck about how much it costs.

    My wife is a perfect example: We leached off my mom’s Netflix for years. I don’t really care, we have Plex that I manage and Netflix blows, so it’s all her. Mom ended up cancelling with the latest price hike. Brother and I took bets. My wife lasted 36 hours before making her own account. I lost my bet.

      Same here. I set up a Servarr stack and showed everyone in my house how to use Jellyseer to pick shows. I set up Jellyfin on all of their devices as well as the common TV. It works wonderfully well and they can download anything.

      So what do I see when I look over their shoulder to see what they’re using? Netflix and Prime Video. SMH.

        Yup, happens every time. Even with everything working and that my wife can pick her own shows to automatically download, I think it’s the waiting that does it, because God forbid you have to wait 5-10 minutes. Also too, I can see the appeal in browsing someone else’s library and watching something on a whim.
