Moves like this certainly aren't going to drive people to view Netflix content from less-than official sources. Or, in the very least, cancel their subscriptions. Paying a monthly fee to access content and still seeing ads is an insane concept to me. You'd think that with all the stiff competition they have they'd, I dunno, make their service more enticing to potential and current users.
I haven't had Netflix in 10 years until about a month ago. I thought that kind of time would free me up for a new user sort of deal, a little trial into which I could cram Black Mirror, but nope.
I don't care enough to create another email address to end run my existing account, so I paid it, but I remember feeling slightly weirded out. Like an ex that bought the last dinner before you broke up ten years ago and hasn't forgotten that they're out $18 for your meal.
Watching Black Mirror etc I'm not sure how I could watch without the 4K + HDR. There's crazy bad compression and banding. Even watching on an OLED in a dark room at night, there are parts of Better Call Saul that are just invisible. It might actually be unwatchable at that bottom tier, at least not without blowing out all your other settings.
