(And I use “Free” loosely because I do pay for Prime Video, so it went from paid to much more expensive)

    Only had youtube cutting of a clip halfway because it was suddenly set to private. The amount of clips I put in Watch Later to have them disappear is also too high. Stop recommending slop that disappears later, stupid alghorithm.

      I’ve wondered if people’s watch lists are prioritized to be pay videos. The first time I saw this I wondered why my watch list was mostly pay videos: I must have misunderstood something. Do I created it again with only free shows. A year later it was mostly pay

    Is it possible that season one is free and season two cost money? That’s a common tactic.

      Sometimes Prime Video in Germany also used to have only the dubbed versions of tv shows and movies. It was infuriating that I couldn’t watch the original versions. The service was also generally buggy and poorly made. I canceled Prime because it was so bad.

      Yes but I was finishing episode 9 of the 2nd season going into 10. Then poof, whole season 2 is $29.99. For a show with a bad rating probably because it’s so niche if you’re not from LA it’s a complete dud.

      The CBS/Paramount app has always had so much tracking in it that it’s blocked by most PiHole like devices and software. Even if you pay for the no ads tier they still won’t play the video if they can’t hit the ad server.

      One of the German channels makes you pay for random episodes. So you’ll be able to watch episode 3, 9 and 11 in a season but you have to pay for the rest.

    If you’re still paying for streaming services you’re part of the problem.

        It’s not an insult. Continuing to pay for increasingly shitty behavior leads to even shittier behavior. We’re talking about streaming, but this extends out to the capitalist built economy. We’re funding our misery. Every person that continues to participate just reinforces that misery.

          Telling someone that they are the problem is insulting, whether you like it or not.

          I agree, continuing to feed the machine is not helping; but there are more constructive ways to express the same point. Help people learn and get comfortable with better solutions, don’t scold them for following what they’ve grown up to know as ‘right’. That’s not how you get people on your side.

    You need to set yourself up with radarr and sonarr. Get into torrents or usenet. And finally pick either plex, emby, or jellyfin. The movie one didnt exactly change my world since I had to pick the stuff, but shows one was crazy! Add the show and gets all existing stuff and will download the news ones when released. Its especially great the following year when you didnt even know it was coming back and boom you already have it. Bonus points, I use android app nzb360 on local network to connect to all those apps and it shows whats new so I can easily add stuff. I can even connect to my download app so it shows everything in 1 spot.

    Lot’s of people talking about piracy, and I’m all about it. However, I’m here to talk about Mr. Mayor. What a fantastic show. It was funny, it was heartfelt, and it had character growth. Pirate the shit out of it.
