    Love that they intentionally blur the 1080p image too. I love 4k but the difference isn’t that huge, that’s an SD image next to 4k.

    All around shitty. Charge for quality or device count. Not both.

      I’ve got a 1080p TV. I have had it for 10+ years and I will continue to have it until it craps out.

      I’ve seen 4k. Yes it’s better. Is it better enough? Not for me, and my eyes aren’t getting any younger.

      I also save money, since gaming at 1080 with great framerates is much easier too. And storing 1080 media etc (hell, even 720 with upscaling isn’t too bad).

      I guess my point is: come at me Netflix; keep annoying me with your ads. They literally have 0% chance of success.

    -Password crackdown

    -Removal of Basic Plan

    -Aggressive advertising to up-package

    -Focus on 1-3 years of low-budget ‘reality’ TV

    Yikes. Netflix is hellbent on extracting maximum revenue possible, regardless of how shitty their product gets in the meantime.

      Long run, they are corporate morons.

      T-Mobile was “paying” for a rarely-used account on my family plan. Parents used it in another state. I occasionally used it. My brother logged in once in awhile. On any given week, it might see like 4 hours of collective viewership.

      Turns out TMobile’s contribution only covered the first $8. I have been paying another $10/mo. out of my own pocket and wasn’t batting an eye.

      Netflix was getting $18 a month for doing almost nothing! And that could have continued for many more years without my even questioning it.

      BUT… One day I couldn’t sign onto my own Netflix account that I pay for. Evidently, I’m not in my own household? That led to my discovery of the gargantuan amount I was paying for a service I barely use anymore.

      So now, thanks to their greed, Netflix gets $0 from me. And not a single family member has phoned to ask why Netflix no longer works.

      Some executives in Los Gatos may soon learn Econ 101’s supply-and-demand curve.

    Crazy to charge extra for what would be considered the default TV resolution in 2023, imo. Not even going to touch on how fake of a comparison that is.
