I get the sentiment but I’ve also seen decent media coverage of it and I’m sure many folks googled what was happening as a result, especially since twitch was more formally involved this time. I know the German word for “son of a whore” surged in google searches so that’s something lol

Does it drive traffic? Yeah. Does it make Huffman seethe? He’s childish and thin skinned so probably lol

I'm always juggling 2-3 games of various time commitments for this reason. It's works well for me tbh. I just stopped caring about my "backlog" or finishing a game. Video games have been way more fun for me ever since.

With that said, you who cancelled Netflix because of this change, what streaming service did you move to that didn’t enforce on account per household?

No streaming service has a "on[e] account per household" rule so I'm not really sure what you mean. Are you saying "what streaming service allows password sharing?" The answer is all of them except Netflix and Apple sort of (Apple cleverly tied it to having an Apple ID so credit where credit is due. It's just too difficult to password share outside your family. But in theory you can).

I didn't cancel netflix, but I didn't bother to make my own account when I got booted from my parents' account. Because Netflix doesn't make enough good stuff to justify it anymore and they cancel everything too quickly. I'm actually happier paying for Apple TV+ or whatever it's called because the price is good and the content is like nothing I've ever seen half the time. I can just browse PlutoTV and/or Tubi and I've got 90% of the quality I see at Netflix for $free.99.

I don’t get what’s controversial about Netflix making sure their customers keep their promises.

This is a tad dramatic, we don't have a moral obligation to netflix. Account holders agreed to terms and to make it sound so important as a personal promise is a bit much. Either way, you're totally right, Netflix is within their rights to boot people. I think most people get that. But they also allowed the status quo for 16 years, so this is their fault. They set an expectation and created a sharing culture that almost, quite literally, crosses generations. They wanted to be in more homes faster and that was the cost. Then they're surprised when they say "hey it's over" and people are vocalizing their displeasure? Again, it's their right, but what did they (or you) expect to happen?

Either way it doesn't matter. If their balance sheet works it works. I just can't quite see why you're riding in defense of Netflix.

So you actually don’t care about Netflix enforcing the agreement since you don’t care about Netflix.

Why does that matter? Don't discount my opinion simply because I don't care enough about netflix's content to pay for it. Nothing I've said hinges on that.

All other services not requiring one account per household is simply not true. Netflix is probably the only service actively stating that account sharing is okay. For example, Disney Plus terms states that you are not allowed to share your credentials to a 3rd party.

Netflix said the same things in its terms for 16 years. Would you have said "netflix doesn't allow account sharing"? Because that's a pretty ridiculous claim when functionally they did and everyone else does. I currently only pay for HBO, yet I'm on Prime, Hulu, and Disney+. Terms or not, we know what the reality is. So let's not hide behind faux-legalese and arguments even you don't believe man.

The reason that some services are more lenient on this issue is that they are still focusing on gaining market shares. Next phase is starting to focus on how to getting profitable.

They aren't lenient, they literally don't enforce it. And it's not just "some," it's all but Netflix and Apple* (as explained above). Because functionally it's allowed.

Netflix might be the first one cracking down on this but they are definitively not the last one doing that.

No doubt about it, but not sure its relevance.

If the streaming services don’t make sure it’s enforced the copyright holders will.

This sounds highly speculative.

I'm also not sure you really answered the "one account per household" thing. You are very precious about the ToS so I'm curious what you meant by this.

Oh so netflix can change its mind randomly but we can't, cool cool cool.

@hoodatninja@kbin.social avatar

I don’t know how much clearer I can make this. We are talking about what is written and what is functionally happening. It’s like jaywalking. If you jaywalk, and someone said “jaywalking is illegal,” you would roll your eyes because literally everybody does it.

All of these services say it’s one account per person (again, not a household). But none of them enforce it. So for the last 16 years Netflix has functionally not had that rule. I do not understand how you are confused by this concept. I feel like I’ve been pretty clear about it and it’s self evident. It is pointless to say “you’re not allowed to share accounts“ when it was rampant and Netflix did not care. We aren’t idiots, we know they are choosing to enforce it now. That’s literally what this entire discussion is about.

What else would you expect from the company that has its app’s video player load every single available resolution simultaneously?

It’s also just incredibly boneheaded. The API changes happened three weeks ago. People have not forgotten, they are still removing/threatening mods even today, hell there are [almost 2000 subs still protesting] (https://reddark.untone.uk/). And now they give people a microphone during an incredibly public event that they coordinated with twitch?

Steve is not the only idiot at Reddit right now.

I think it's pretty unreasonable to expect someone in 2023 to not trust a video call from someone they know. We are entering that period now, but I could have easily been fooled the same way. I bet you could have too.

I grew up before the internet myself. I can't say I'm on high alert for fake video calls lol I will be moving forward, however, now that it's a credible threat.

When I encounter this, which is pretty rare, to be honest I just say “do you think it is right that all of us should have to live the exact same way you do? Or do you think people should be allowed to decide what level of privacy they want?” That pretty much at least gets a tacit nod. You just make an appeal to being able to choose how you live your life.

there’s an upvote/downvote system for a reason

Oh come now you aren’t so naive as to think that system actually works as intended or anywhere near as good as it needs to be to leaned on. Would you trust a community vote that used upvotes/downvotes?

not everything needs to be babied and pruned to what the mods want.

What the community wants. And no not everything, but frankly some people do act like babies and need to be handled as such. I personally had no tolerance for trolling. The sub I modded did not want that crap at all. Hence why they kept supporting our rules and every vote we held to change things ended with “this works well.”

People think they want a “true democracy” (doesn’t exist with the tools we have) and “total free speech” on forums but let me tell you you absolutely do not. Go ask Voat how that turned out.

It really should be 5% off if I have to scan my own crap. Especially the way CVS et al do it. Home Depot is the only one I don't care about because they just give you a wireless scanner and let you go to town, it's honestly faster that way and mutually beneficial.

@hoodatninja@kbin.social avatar

Absolutely. Any time I buy any product for adults (beer/liquor usually), I have to wait for them to come over anyway. 50% of the time the person doesn’t have clearance or doesn’t know how to work it or “it’s just not working,” so I have to wait for them to call their manager. Meanwhile I have a bunch of people standing in line waiting for me who are upset because I think I don’t know how to use a self check out line.

I have to manually look up and weigh any produce I get. Better hope the touchscreen is working properly. “Huh there are 3 listings of ‘sweet potato.’ Guess I’ll pick this one and hope it’s the right one.” Toss in a light item: “PLEASE PLACE ITEM IN BAG BEFORE CONTINUING.” If a barcode is faded I need to look up the product as well.

I mean it’s just on and on. If I buy more than 3 or 4 things it’s guaranteed to halt.

hoodatninja , (edited )
@hoodatninja@kbin.social avatar

Yes I am aware of this, but why is that suddenly my job? I don't want to walk around with a sharpie writing down every produce I got. I don't want to sit there running through their register and system for them. I just want to get my stuff, pay, and leave. It's why we've had cashiers forever. If you're going to add my work to my day then cut prices or give me a discount.

If this helped the staff in some way that would be one thing. I don't mind being inconvenienced to help others. I don't want to be inconvenienced by a grocery store because they want to pay fewer people.

hoodatninja , (edited )
@hoodatninja@kbin.social avatar

Because the produce that most of the grocery stores, I shop at is loose and I put it in a plastic bag that does not have a label on it. You have to write the number down. It’s not prepackaged generally.

hoodatninja , (edited )
@hoodatninja@kbin.social avatar

The whole point is that I do know how to use it, yet I have to wait for someone to come over and verify my age, because I can’t do it myself. No self checkout line lets you walk out with booze without an employee coming over.

Which is why these union negotiations are so important. Sure, that will probably happen. But if SAG-AFTRA says they can’t be used on union shows, well, they won’t be lol

When I first started in film any time I had a SAG actor there were requirements I had to adhere to for their pay and hours, no exceptions. And I live in a right to work state!

hoodatninja ,
@hoodatninja@kbin.social avatar

There’s a difference between “no AI allowed” (not what the unions are calling for) and “contracts need stipulations about AI usage” (reasonable).

If you are not familiar with what is actually being negotiated over, then please don’t weigh in. WGA/SAG-AFTRA are not calling for an AI ban. Every time these debates come up armchair AI “advocates” swarm like cryptobros to call everyone backwards/ignorant/resistant to change regardless of the context.
