      Waiting 20 minutes through unskippable trailers, 4-5 different 30s logos, a 2-3 minute menu intro then a menu that takes 2-3 seconds to respond per arrow press?

      Because a single movie costs like 3 months of ad-tier Netflix.

      They’re not on ad-tier because they’re flushed with cash…

          So does piracy, and it gives just as much money to the corporations who made the movie, if that’s something you’re worried about. And piracy don’t cost you shit.

            Piracy is an option if they don’t care about the laws in their country, but some people care for one reason or another. The conversation was initially about about the cost of disc vs the cost of ad-supported streaming, so I offered a used option.
