  • This guy’s first problem is watching movies on his cable provider’s on-demand service. On-demand has been crap since its inception.

    And then:

    We are now at the point in the history of show business where a bad experience is free and a decent one costs extra.

    This is literally how it’s always been. And this the crux of this dude’s issues. He’s not willing to pay for content and is using freeware and crapware to watch movies. You can’t complain about a bad service if you’re not paying for it.

    He wants the solution? Ditch cable, buy movies and TV shows or pay for streaming services without ads. It’s really that simple.


  • The biggest problem is that federation splits the communities between instances. So a single interest may have 5-10 different communities, all with fewer users than on an equivalent subreddit.

    I’ve been saying this since the beginning, Lemmy needs a way to follow topics that allow you to subscribe to all related communities at once. And posting to a topic on one community allows it to show up across different communities of the same topic.

    I couldn’t justify $14 a month for YT Premium especially when YT Music sucks so much. And it’s very likely just going to get more expensive.

    If they could stop bundling them both together and give me an option to just get rid of ads, I’d probably go back to paying. But for now, NewPipe is a way better experience.
