Streaming companies like Netflix scam you with overpriced 4k subscription models that require nothing on their end and require you to make sure you have to bandwidth to stream it. They charge you more for something that doesn't cost them anything additionally, more than double the base price. I want to remind you that this actually was what Net Neutrality was about and many of you dumb stupid fucks defended it not understanding it gave full power to tech companies to dictate how the internet works rather than adding a safe guard above them where the ISPs have power which thankfully we have now. I hate every one of you that was so stupid to not understand how cancerous to us Net Neutrality was and actually defended it just because you saw the word "neutrality" in the name of the bill and thought it was a good thing.https://x.com/WallStreetApes/status/2049633641861718087
>>534145806The 4k streaming is downsized to like 1440p anyways. It’s a scam.
>>534145893Here’s (((AI))) explaining it better than me. Moral of the story: it’s a scam
>>534145806Netflix is free if you just pirate.If you think about it, piracy is just crowdfunding. If every person on the planet donated literally fraction of a penny to 1 guy, and that 1 guy shared Netflix shows with everyone, why would anyone pay for Netflix?>B-b-b-but if you don't pay then Netflix will go under!!Oh no! Anyway...They can start delivering better service anytime if they want to not go under. Simple.
>>534145893The point is, if NN was still a thing that would be the default option and you would have even higher tiers with more bullshit and everyone would now be streaming with more bandwidth causing more pressure on ISPs that they would have no control over. All the power and control of the internet would go to Google, Amazon, Netflix etc with no one above them to counter them. There were actual retards years ago that post here that saw a reddit thread made by a Google employee saying NN was good and just blindly parroted it.>>534146043That's a different topic but I endorse piracy. This isn't about that though but retards who didn't understand what NN was
>>534145806Netshit and the internet companies probably have a deal where you scratch my back I scratch yours. Netshit charges you for something they shouldn't be knowing that most people can't properly use it without spending more money on their internet bill.
>>534146084Net Neutrality would pass now because everyone is braindead niggercattle.
>>534145996Bitrate isn't resolution and formats like AV1 achieve higher quality with lower bitrate. Blu-ray uses MPEG-2 which is the industry standard for physical media but has very poor space efficiency and it takes 5x the bitrate for mp2 to achieve what AV1 does.
>>534145806getting a 4k subscription is goy bait nothing but imax shit is even recorded at that size and is just upscaled slop
>>534145806Why is this jew account making a retarded (he admits it uses more bandwidth so....) post against Netflix? Just as our ultra zionist Ellison family finishes battling with Netflix over Warner Brothers?My post may sound schizo but it isnt. Accounts like Wall Street Apes are not human beings who make regular joe observations and gripes like this. They post largely because someone pays them to.
>>534145806I agree with the post, except 4k is not "slightly more" bandwidth vs 1080p. It's literally 4x or much more if Dolby and HDR is in the stream.
>>534146272Yes.... which is why you should be thinking along these >>534146249 lines
>>534145806>paying for any form of media in 2026couldn't be me
>>534145806Like, the biggest scam is showing me in 4K with poor color quality!
>>534146098If NN still existed Netflix would not be required to cut any deal and could use as much bandwidth as they wanted. All these streaming companies are heavily subsidized by ISPs as they do all the heavy lifting. Imagine you owned a popular restaurant and delivery was completely free all across the country so you make money hand over fist since that is a large cost you don't need to pay? Netflix should be much cheaper>>534146151Trump appointing that jeet that shut it down is one of the few things I give him credit for.>>534146249He is just another account that shares information and he is right in this specific case. The Net Neutrality still exists timeline is probably one of the worst ones we narrowly dodged
>>534145806It's the MPAA. They're anal as fuck about allowing 4K HDR content. I don't think you can even play a 4K Bluray on a PC anymore because they won't allow any drive to operate on PC.
>>534145806My favorite part about all the retarded streaming companies being such shit is that piracy has gotten so popular that the pirate sites actually have to be of some quality now.
>>534146484kek I noticed that too so many of them basically have to copy the UI of Netflix or prime video and offer resolution and captioning options in multiple languages it is pretty funny. It's like a free market of piracy. It used to be so hard to find sports streams or wrestling streams now it's as simple as open yandex "Free stream for x"
>>534145996ofc they use data compression. their bandwidth is limited just like ours. more bandwidth = more expenses. the bandwidth is out of their control and would take ISP-level modifications to stream higher bitrates, which isn't something they want to pay for.i used to work at an ISP and could see throughput on 100gig lines (we had 3 of these for Netflix alone at the time) and they were nearly always near max use.
>>534146473PS3 even got updates just to keep being a Blu-ray player. It needs keys
>>534146563>wrestlingRemember how hard we shit on them for charging 9.99 for the WWE network? That price would be an outright bargain now. This shit was what, 10 years ago?Not that I'd ever pay for that, but just the same.
>>534145806>Complaining about unfair goyslop pricing. Humiliation ritual in unending for this dude.
>>534146203Do they use AV1? AV1 is great it is the future. But it does need a bit of silicon to pull it off but in the case of a decoding within an asic the lack of licensing to Fraunhauffer surely off sets the cost. At least this is what the surveillance camera companies are saying.
>>534145806okay. seriouslywho has ever paid dollar one to a streaming site ever in their entire life?are you retarded?is this the first IQ gate?
>>534145806I get everything in 4k HDR and dont pay a dime to Netflix. Yarrrrrr.... fuck the streaming jew.
The bitrate, picture quality and audio on standard 1080 blu ray beats that "premium 4k" netflix.
