This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I haven't watched something with ads in it for many years.
Y'all know how.
Only time is when I stay in hotels and watch their cable. It's so weird and insulting after freeing myself from them for so long. It breaks up the pace and basically ruins the entire experience.
I must be living a very luxurious life then. Jellyfin has kept the same price for ad-free 'streaming', as has Stremio (so far).
Add free streaming is a myth now.
-there I corrected it
I prefer minuses too.

That's why I subscribe to Jellyfin Plus Pro Premium Ad-Free.
The others had their chance. They chose greed.
Jellyfin Plus Pro Premium Ad-Free truly is the best service available. My favorite part is it's streaming service agnostic, I actually own the media, and it's immune from a corporation taking media away from the particular streaming service because they wanted to make their own streaming service!
"Piracy is a service problem."
We have a service problem.
Never seen adds in the last 2 decades.
just fucking torrent it all you losers. a vpn sub is cheaper than netflix.
Sometimes I make it a challenge. Can my other half access the content the "right" way faster than a torrent can be found?
Is IPTV piracy just a European thing then?
My friend here in the States has it. He let me use it for a while. It's really cool, but finding an IPTV service that's reliable is a real challenge.
Go to Chinese amazon, search for android boxes and ask for a test they will give you a code. Use tivimax premium as your app, said to be the best.
Stremio your way out of it. I see so few ads in my life that it triggers me whenever I do.
Preach it, brother.
This was the plan the entire time
Yet one more thing pushing people to Piracy...
There is nothing more maddening than advertising during a show that wasn't written for commercial breaks.
Yet one more thing pushing people to Piracy…
Piracy is the poor doing what the rich do all the time.
Lemmy: Arrrr!
Big Tech: take away their PC and give them some completely locked down box fully under our control, to protect the children of course. And no more physical media!
The only answer to that is probably board games and books.
or just go to your local library where they have 1000s of dvds/blu rays for you to borrow for free
Team Arrrr here. ;-)
Holy shit! Now I got it why they are called Sonarr, Radarr, etc... 🤦♂️
Yeah, took me a while to get that, I had the same holy shit moment about a year ago.. ;-)
The end result is that advertisers dictate content, like they have done with traditional broadcast.
The verge: "it started with ads and blabla".
No.
It started when people were pirating and life was good. Then the streaming came with a good product and a fair price -> people agreed with that and people stopped pirating.
Companies started to enshitify the product, we are now at this point.
I am not suggesting you what to do.
its really funny how this is so much the way cable went.
I just subscribe to max 2 services at a time.
And there are a few things I just didn't watch because not worth it.
