And with legacy media companies desperate to recoup revenue declines in their linear TV businesses, the cost of your monthly plan is likely to keep rising.

      I’m kind of amazed how my Gen Z buddies are so adamantly against pirating. They think the cops will bust down their door, literally.

        A few of mine got cease and desist orders from their ISP, one got two… so that’s why they’re against it. Some now do VPN, some just hop streaming services. Some just stopped watching as much stuff because: life.

        Everyone torrented in the 00’s, and Netflix was born from that.

        No way they’ll let the whole market crash before trying to get some customers back.

          Where did you get that from!? Netflix was born from mail-in DVD rentals, you bald knob.
