They hate freedom and liberty even more.

I think most are freeloaders mad that they finally have to pay. I expounded a bit more in another reply, but I appreciate Netflix for blazing the streaming trail, so I want to see them succeed. It's not all sunshine and rainbows, of course.

Most of the complaints sound like people upset that the gravy train has been halted and now they finally have to pay for the service instead of leaching off their parents or whatever. I'm not saying there are no legitimate concerns, but I believe the vast majority are what I've described, hence the jump in subs.

I want Netflix to do well. I've been a customer for literal decades and I applaud their innovations as the OG streaming platform. Hell, it's still the most user friendly and smoothest experience, IMO.

Talk about DiWHY...

Ok, fine. But this is not what people are really complaining about and you know it. I am a cheap ass, I'll admit it. But I'm not that cheap.

Pretty much the same. Active tends to stick around a bit longer than I'd prefer.

Most of my experience is in the Asheville area and mountain towns in general, which can be... interesting places. The rest of the state seems like college town after college town, other than the greater Fayetteville area. Even there it's mostly military, so the politics should be as diverse as the greater population.

But man, when they go Red, they really go all out. Bunch of Mayberry wannabes.

NC has perhaps the most stark contrast between rural and urban population of any southern state, and I'm not just talking about major urban areas. You can go from MAGA county to the hippiest shit in the blink of an eye. I think the state would be solidly blue if not for gerrymandering.

I don't mind keeping up with the goings on over there, but I can understand your point. I'm good as long as it doesn't feel like the main talking point on Lemmy like it did there for a minute a few weeks back.

The worst part is if the company fucks you, too bad so sad. But if you fuck them? Welcome to prison.

I think those adventure games deserve the accolade considering they really were the pinnacle of the genre, and it hasn't even really continued since then.

I get upset about a lot of things, but the end of password sharing isn't one of them. Complaining about it is just about the most privileged, entitled thing I can imagine.

I remember the anxiety of downloading the Quake demo the afternoon it was released. My mother is a notorious phone talker, so I guarded the handset like a hawk and prayed to God that no one called. By some miracle it completed after a an hour or two. 1.1 mb I believe it was.

This is really all that needs to be said.

Insurance companies are the scum of the earth. I'm sure Big Daddy Gov will put them in their place. /s

Eh, it's tech news.

Send it all to GA.

I admit to having a very US-centric POV when it comes to this, so I guess I can see it. I was never an /all browser, so my exposure was limited to my subs. Even so, there's no way that many users actually contribute anything of merit.

I've been thinking this is exactly the way to go.

Well, they are all interacting with Reddit. I guess it depends on whether the message outweighs the increased engagement. I don't really care about Spez as all this is a symptom of a much bigger problem.
