It’s now explicitly against Disney Plus’s policies for Canadian subscribers to share passwords outside of their household.

    Netflix had it, lost it due to a more competitive landscape. Now they all have reached about peak saturation and are struggling to hit those massive numbers where people are doing it willingly, they they think they can strong arm people into it. Streaming is all about convenience. Can I sit on the couch and put on something relatively engaging for a few that seems relatively reasonable? Ya? Cool. The further you move away from that model the more people start to look elsewhere. Pirating has gotten a lot, and I mean a LOT easier, and that arm is only so strong.

      I hate Netflix as much as the next guy but let’s not shield our eyes from reality. Their move was actually very successful. A small percentage of people unsubscribed, but that number was dwindled by the number of new subscribers. Netflix basically proved that people for the most part don’t care and will subscribe just to keep watching. Of course Disney and others will follow suit after seeing that.

        We don’t have the metrics yet to see if they stay subscribed. Look at it this way, Lemmy grows and shrinks by leaps and bounds every time reddit does something crazy. Same principle. This also doesn’t take into account people wanting to subscribe to finish a show and then unsubscribe afterwards.

    You can stream pretty much anything for free here: https://fmoviesz.to/

    Just make sure you have uBlock Origin installed.

    If you ever have issues, do an internet search for “free streaming sites reddit” and try one of those.
