Netflix has removed the ability to cast shows and movies from phones to TVs, unless subscribers are using older casting devices.

    When piracy is easier and more feature-rich than Netflix at a fraction of the price, I’m reminded of Gabe Newell’s opinions about piracy being a service problem.

    I unsubscribed from Netflix years ago, when they decided to crack down on subscription sharing. They just don’t have content good enough to justify full price.

    And they produce garbage like Witcher, which is atrocious

      They just don’t have content good enough to justify full price.

      That was the primary reason why I cancelled after the first year I subscribed.

      I didn’t even share my account and I cancelled it. Not worth the money for less and less good content and having to put up with their bullshit rules/restrictions.

    Yeah, streaming is just getting so much worse with, of course, companies wanting to make all the money instead of just making most of the money by introducing more and more enshitification.

    And all of and making piracy once again a big thing.

    I was annoyed when I learned the hard way that I couldn’t cast Severance from my phone to my TV

    Bahahahahahaha as if I’m logging onto Netflix on my TV.

    I mean the entire app is shit so we cancelled anyway, but that was the only way we used it. Smart TVs can suck an absolute bag of dicks. My not-particularly techy partner specifically wanted a dumb TV, so this isn’t even a niche nerd bubble thing

      Going to a lamaze class thinking it’s an AA meeting, making an ass out of yourself just so you can talk to Brendon Frasier about being in Rob Reiner’s new flick just because you can’t call him on the phone. 😔
