Piracy is the only option at this point. If you actually want to view a wide array of videos. I'd prefer to do it legally and support artists, but the fragmentation and price hiking and more ads is getting ridiculous.

Absolutely. Nothing more infuriating than when they ditch your series mid-binge, making you wish you just bought it that one time in the first place. The fact you can buy the whole of Breaking Bad or The X-Files permanently for £50 can actually be better value anyway than spending the same or more over that time to ‘borrow’ them for a few months.

[@Pebb86]

My best suggestion if you don’t want ads without breaking the law is to only keep your subscription active for things you want to binge watch or just watch one time. Once you have watched what you want to watch, cancel your subscription until it’s time to return to Netflix at a later date for another temporary period. Sure it might take a few more seconds. But in the long run you save money so 10 to 30 seconds for cancelling a subscription is worth it. And while it will take another 10-30 seconds to reactivate it. Over time, your bank account will thank you at the expense of the Netflix Executives who will have a lower Christmas bonus,

[@AverageDaveVideos]

Perfect! Time to cancel my subscription!

Okay Blockbuster Video rental here is your come back year, where else can you rent video games, bring back brick and motor again seems like that's where we're headed back full circle. As soon as there is ads on netflix bye bye had you since the beginning Netflix but that would be the nail on the coffin really, gone. Yo make a higher price option give newer releases, that's what blockbuster did they competed to be the first to have all the newest coolest movies, instead Netflix wants to poop in a box and double the price.
