The HDR part is what kills me, if anything HDR seems to compress better than SDR. So it’s not even a bandwidth thing to provide 1080p HDR.
And the 4K upcharge was fine when I could share it with my siblings since it gave us 4 streams at once. Now I only would need 1 stream, so I can’t even get the full benefit of what I would pay for.
Does any other culture get so stupidly defensive over their food like Italians? If you paid for it you can put anything dumbass thing you want on your pizza.
This is one of the things that I'm struggling with right now as well. My reddit experience was heavily curated in favor of smaller subreddits, to the almost complete exclusion of top subreddits. The thing is, since Lemmy is so new, it hasn't had the opportunity to build up a diverse array of specialized communities the same way. So basically right now all we have are mainly versions of the "big" Reddit communities, along with ones that decided to emigrate here from Reddit.
But it turns out, content from "big" communities is often the same low-effort, lowest-common denominator stuff regardless which platform is hosting it. Memes, clickbait, and ragebait permeate the top results, because well shucks, that's what people want to see and engage with, apparently.
I'm hopeful that if/when Lemmy continues to grow, that it'll become home to more active specialized communities. In the meanwhile, I've been trying to improve the experience as much as possible by A) trying to subscribe to more communities and B) slamming that block community button like I'm playing Hungry Hungry Hippos.
I really wouldn’t mind the increased rates/quality scams/etc. if their library wasn’t such rubbish. There was a time when they had so much good stuff that I didn’t have time to watch it all. Now? They have a handful of good shows drowned out by Is It Cake? and other shite.
Yeah, I used to happily subscribe to Netflix because anything I could want was there. Now I use it on a family plan on occasion since it already existed, but there’s no way I’d pay for it so I could watch like 2 shows and 4 comedy specials a year, and have to find everything else somewhere else.
I was happy with YouTube and just purchased things there but recently you can’t watch beyond 480p in any browser except for Safari. So fuck that too.
I saw this happening in real life one time, on the back of a Dodge Neon. Best part is they were in the parking lot of a Planned Parenthood. We cheered them on, then went about our business.
Crazy to charge extra for what would be considered the default TV resolution in 2023, imo. Not even going to touch on how fake of a comparison that is.
