Netflix will implement the change in Canada and the U.K. in the second quarter of the year before “taking it from there,” the letter said.

The company did not specify when (or whether) the change would impact U.S. subscribers.

      Yeah that’s an option but it’s not going to be a practical solution for everyone. Most people on Lemmy are more tech savvy than average so they’ll be fine but there are plenty of people who lack the knowledge and skill. And that sucks because people have shown repeatedly that they are more than willing to pay a reasonable rate for the content they want. But these greedy fucks decided they all needed their own service. So now content is fractured across a dozen different apps that are only getting more expensive and ad riddled.

      It just plain sucks that your options are either piracy or being constantly fucked over to benefit shareholders.

        At some point, when prices get too high, people will seek out someone who can help them pirate. Like I’ve already installed Kodi and Stremio with an Alldebrid account on a TV or Android box for many of my friends
