Question, what even is a "Generative AI ad"?
Is the lead actress of the horror movie I'm watching look into the camera and tell me about the new coca-cola while she waits for the monster to come get her?

I totally get the anger with Netflix. I fucking hate them as a filmmaker. But I really don't think a long term solution is pirating content.
BUY CONTENT YOU LIKE
Is it more expensive? Of course it is, that's part of an equitable society. Also it means you end up with content you really like and not a bunch of junk.

If the argument is talk with money then giving them 0 and taking from them is the strongest argument you can have morally speaking. Piracy is more convient regardless.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I was. Until they made that so difficult and time consuming that the barrier to entry was too high. Not because of the price. But because of availability. When Google play music was a thing? I bought music. When streaming took over I moved to Bandcamp. But Bandcamp doesn't have everything. There's no music stores anymore where I can just go and buy music. It's all Amazon and similar.
I'd love to own the ghibli collection. But to get it I have to buy the DVD's (and have a DVD player to play them on), or I have to pirate them. No digital store front seems to have the whole collection. This happens all the time with media that I'm willing to pay for.

So... buy the DVDs? Or any other Ghibli merch.

Did Plex enshittify recently? I've seen a lot of people switching to jellyfin.

Pretty sure all of Studio Gihibli is on Fandango/Vudu.

They made it so server owners need a plex pass to stream to anyone outside the same LAN. Or the clients need to pay $2 a month if the server owner doesn’t have one

Yep, big time. Basically dead at this point, forcing payments to stream your own content.
I started setting up my homelab last month and immediately went to Jellyfin because Plex just screamed "corporate bullshit" to me. Sure enough, it was the right call.

I'll buy music directly from artists on bandcamp and such, especially since they offer unlimited DRM-free FLAC downloads, but any other media at this point is just absurdly inconvenient. Everything's just tied to dogshit streaming platforms.
If there were a DRM-free option to buy and download movies or shows for life, I'd definitely be buying what I can here and there. But everything is so locked down or encumbered with other bullshit that it's not a viable option.

I actually haven't seen one yet. I just assume it's an AI voice, reading AI generated text, about something that Netflix's data about you says you might like.
