Has the age of cordcutting finally ended? Are we set to go back to traditional cable?
nope, FAST Pluto, Youtube Free w/ Ads, Tubi, Roku etc etc cable had commercials, I wasn't ok with paying for a service AND getting commercials, idm the commercials on free shit. Free Ad-supported Streaming TV is the biggest threat to cable and premium services, we are on a free ad-supported discussion board not a paid one after all here is some nostalgia for free, with ads where you can still use an adblocker if you want. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMc00TAQf8w
>>106525286I'm amazed that according to your reddit screenshot almost half of the Americans surveyed think $69 a month to watch slop is an acceptable amount. I guess the cattle is so used to getting milked they don't even bother to complain.
>>106525428You're getting milked out of the little life you have here even if you pirate, you know?
>>106525399what do people even watch on these services, i don't think there was a god tv show since like breaking bad or something.
>>106525428Not almost. nearly half think it is too much -> over half are satisfied or think it is too little.
>>106525680old TV shows and movies, people always talk about how crap modern TV is, well that old stuff is free now For example that old Scooby Doo (2002) live action movie that everyone hates, I like it, I see the Peanut Movie from 2015 is also on Youtube Free w/ ads right now, I would never buy these nor would I pirate them to watch later, but the convenience of just throwing something on is enough for me to queue them up. Pluto has a small anime collection, bunch of Pokémon, Yugioh, Sailor Moon, Naruto, Hunter x Hunter, etc
>>106525286>Has the age of cordcutting finally ended? Are we set to go back to traditional cableNah, piracy is just making a comeback
>>106525428I spent 3 hours learning the qbittorrent API I could have billed a company $900 for that or 13 months. It's cheap as fuck.
>>106525286the fuck. TV is literally free. is this like a non American thing?
>>106526498we have free TV in America too, that isn't what we ae talking about
>>106525286Nope. I use PlutoTV, a couple of illegal streaming apps, and of course piracy.
>>106526517calm down ranjeet and answer me
>disney+>espn>youtube tvand all of this is "news". good lord in heaven i fucking hate being an american.
>>106526498Have you been under the rock? ATSC 3 is being rolled out - with DRM and internet requirements.
I'm embarrassed no one is talking about Jellyfin or even Plex. Get with it guys, the only monthly TV related bill you're excused to pay is the vpn bill so your isps don't send you threatening letters when you pirate shit.
>>106526743The only people left who still watch TV are old boomers that won't upgrade no matter what so I don't see this being successful
>>106526743I got no idea what that means. I just type the show I want into the internet and find a free stream.
>>106526814I keep digital backups of some stuff, the the overwhelming majority of the content I watch, isn't stored on my machine, that would be a huge waste of space. I don't think it is worth setting up a Jellyfin server for my usecase, my phone and laptop can easily decode the videos just fine, so I merely setup a file share when I want to watch over the local network
>>106525428How much would you be willing to pay?
you mean everyone except boomers already cut their cords years ago?
>>106526973More power to you, just happy to hear you're not wasting your money with endless subs.
>>106527147i'm >>106525399I'm not paying for any subs
>>106525286>willingly paying $83 every month to watch pixels on the screen move>with mediocre at best content>with commercialsIn what reality does this make any sense whatsoever
>>106525286I think we're going to see an increase in VPN subscriptions and piracy. Instead of paying $80+/month for a bunch of different services, just pay $5/month so you can torrent all day without your ISP harassing you.
>>106526444>I spent 3 hours learning the qbittorrent APIIt took you that long? Sounds like your company should be paying you less
Sonarr/Radarr works fine, and a usenet server is like $20/yr
>>106525286you dont need to consume slop and you definitely dont need to pay money to consume slop
>>106525286man, they really have the TDS bad over there, huh?
kek at streaming reddit corpo slave cattle who spend so much money instead of just getting a VPN and pirating. ngmi
>>106526814This. I bought Plex premium for $120 7 years ago. Got a recycling center pc for $300, and buy multi TB drives every few years on back Friday.I have 55 tb of media and Radarr and Sonarr pick shit up automatically. I haven't paid for a single subscription in like a decade and watch everything I want. Don't give a fuck about availability and have it all in one place with watch history
