I got rid of my Netflix years ago after the thrid or fourth rate hike or don't even know which hike. At this point it still had the ui it was using from like 2018 to when I left with a few updates. think I stopped using it 2021 or 2022.

I got Netflix for free thru my phone carrier with ads and wow fuck all this let me personalize it for you, give me your phone number, let me push what we think you'll like to you instead of just having a normal non invasive ui.

I like to browse and sometimes watch crap that I would have never found and man every single thing wants your data so they can "personalize" it for you.

the ads my god it's trash. the fact that people pay for ads when Netflix never use to have ads is insane. I started using Netflix back in 2008 and remember the days of the dvd and bflicks it had.

even for free I don't want to watch it I can find other means to watch movies I want to watch without all the trash.

the eshitification continues with every single thing of our lives
