Netflix and chill

>Legitimately surprised Sup Forums shits on this service considering how Jew-free their prices actually are for what they give you

What exactly is wrong with services like Netflix and Crackle etc? Why does Sup Forums have such a hate boner for these things? Normally I'm a Jew cunt when it comes to paying for anything online, but it's $15 a month for an absolute world of convenience and to not have to have people look at you like you're a cheap piece of shit. If it was like $40 a month I'd see the problem, but does no one remember when Blockbuster would charge you $6 for a single night's new release?

Is he dead?

You can't post that long of a post with that webm, what's the story behind the webm and holy fuck that must be so painful

no thankfully he was the one holding the axe.

Netflix used to be better, but now they have to compete for content with other streaming services. I actually like Netflix, and I think people do judge you for being a cheap piece of shit if you just pirate everything.

Retard

The axe actually landed on his inner right thigh. It probably still hurt, but not as much if it happened to crush his dick.

Torrenting is fine if you're a NEETcuck who doesn't have any friends/never leaves the house

But if you're a real human bean and you work/have a social life then torrenting is fucking embarrassing.

??

I can see he is holding it with the sharp side towards himself, but that is still a steel axe being swung by a grown man trying to break a stack of bricks hitting your crotch.

well i live in Canada and subscribe to something called CraveTV, and it's better than netflix in terms of television shows.

Jesus fucking Christ

Why oh why would you do this

>not just having a huge list of movies all ready to go on your PC thats hooked up to your tv.

if she likes you enough, she'll wait the 20 seconds it takes to start up the movie.

pro tip: it doesnt matter what you're watching, shes there for sex.

>Unless your'e some private tracker basement NEET who has access to some exclusive Tumblr club where people exchange extremely high quality torrents of films and shows, then you're pretty much fucked and have to simply hope the technical info given on the torrent is correct, or that they bothered to include a sample

Simply not true anymore, almost everything on private trackers when it comes to mainstream stuff. Unless you are downloading obscure material or very old material, there is no need for a private tracker for "quality". Private trackers have other uses beyond quality though, but for 95% of people their worth died around 2010.

>Have to track down subtitles for the movie

You can use MPC-HC , press D and it will instantly list, download and apply whatever language you selected within MPC.

>Have to explain to dates what this shit is, and you always get the "is this nigga serious" look like you just showed her your animoo hot glue figurine collection

If you are dating someone who can't understand the concept of a video file, the problem is with you, not torrenting.

pic related is from a popular public tracker

netflix is great if you love 99% straight to dvd quality garbage

TAKING IT LIKE A CHAMP

*almost everything is on public trackers when

Netflix its ok if you don't actually care about the medium and are happy with mostly mainstream shit for bored housewives.

I autisticaly enjoy downloading and curating my own collection

also half the shit on Netflix etc. is pleb as fuck

>But if you're a real human bean and you work/have a social life then torrenting is fucking embarrassing.
Not completely. It really depends on what you torrent.

There's nothing wrong with Netflix. But consuming your media exclusively from Netflix is what people have a problem with

so if you have money you should buy a shit service?

seriously? these are the only movies they have? fuck you

>collecting digital data
well at least you admit it's autism. good on ya.

>renting and never owning
waste of money user.

Canada fag here. I have Netflix, but I kind of hate it because due to liscencing shit we only have like half of what American Netlifx gets.

>search for TV show
>it shows up
>sorry TV show is unavailable, but heres some shitty suggestions for similar shows

>night's new release?

Stopped reading here

how the fuck does it make you a basement dwelling NEET to use a private tracker, you sperglord?

what, you think getting something quickly in 720p makes you some beasement dweller?

sounds like you're a jealous public tracker user

are there fucking spikes underneath the board?

>Torrenting is fine if you're a NEETcuck who doesn't have any friends/never leaves the house
Yeah because just leaving the torrent running while you go out its so hard.
Just admit that you're too dumb to use it

holy shit did he died.

how the fuck do you think torrenting is only for NEETs?

it makes you a NEET if you can get a newly released TV show right after it airs rather than waiting months for it to appear on a streaming site? it makes you a NEET if you happen to get something hours before it airs in your timezoen?


seriously, what the fuck ins wrong with you people on here. is this a meme?

Feel free to give them your money, I'm keeping mine.

>is this a meme?
yes. its a bait thread, or a very naive OP.

Why do some people have such a hard time understanding how torrent works?

Yes. Did you never take grade school science?
It's a demonstration of force being distributed over the entire surface area thus reducing the overall pressure exerted to lower than what it would take for the nails to pierce the skin.

>don't have cable subscription
>belong to BTN, which allows me to get the new TV show releases quickly and 2-3 hours early because I am in california
>have firetv so i can stream the torrent to my TV

>apparently on Sup Forums belonging to a private tracker or torrenting at all makes you a "basement dwelling NEET autist"

How exactly do "normal" young people who don't have cable subscriptions watch new TV shows?

>Have to explain to dates what this shit is, and you always get the "is this nigga serious" look like you just showed her your animoo hot glue figurine collection
What, why? Just play the movie, chicks don't give a fuck where you get it. They were just bored by your explanation.

There's nothing really wrong with Netflix and the like but their selection is limited and constantly changes, torrents allow you access to a load of stuff you might never see otherwise. Plus it's free.

A lot of people I know think that all torrents have virus attached to them or they just simply fail to understand what seeders and leechers are

>the "is this nigga serious" look like you just showed her your animoo hot glue figurine collection

???

I watch shitty Russia site streams

This is the worst.

They think it's the hipster equivalent of KaZaA or what have you P2P shit from back in the day.

I will admit that there is a lot of autism when it comes to private torrent trackers. From Sup Forums's general thread, to reddit's trackers board, to a lot of private trackers that always talk about their "community", it is pretty cringeworthy.

For the most part, I avoid the communities there and just use private trackers as a way to not have to pay for cable and get the shows I want to watch, or old seasons of TV shows not around on streaming sites, in good quality, pretty quickly, and hours earlier than it would air for me with commercials already removed.

And "normies" don't think you're autistic if you use torrents. I remember when I was in college when I would be able to get DVD Screeners of movies or Blurays released really early, people would ask how the hell I got them

t. BTN, PTP and Empornium user

They keep a token nerd around for that shit

How pathetically normie is this board that people would rather pay money to a mediocre service than just torrent shit themselves. Embarrassing!

I've got a custom media pc and use private trackers. Visitors get the fire tv.

...

>going on a website, searching what you want, clicking the download button, and clicking on the file when it's done needs you to be a nerd to do

i find it hard to believe that only "le nerds XD" know what torrents are

are you from the big bang theory or something? knowing how to use instagram and snapchat are more difficult to learn to use than torrents

you don't know what he's talking about? its kind of stupid anyway.

>streaming "4k"
>getting incorrect and lesser version of media due to licencing issues

netflix a shit

>netflix
>not blockblister

>paying for media
lamooo

...

They almost never have anything good and when they do it eventually rotates out and you can't access it. You like every goddamn cable TV show ever, regardless of quality? Netflix is great for you. You're trying to find anything in particular, especially movies outside the mainstream and/or with cult followings? It's dogshit. I tried to find more than twenty things last week and literally none of them were available.

Sorry I studied something worthwhile and not an Eng Lit major or some other McDonalds burger flipper degree ^_~

Stallman is correct about never using netflicks and similar DRM cancer.

It's a brilliant service, but you'll notice the lack of content rather quickly. Still, for $15, it's hard to beat. Hulu used to be a nice counterpart when they had the Criterion Collection, but they've lost the rights to that recently.

>white "people"
ugh just ugh

Seeso and Filmstruck are where you should be spending your money, friend

At least Hulu, anything but Shitflix

I always torrent music/movies, having local copies streamed over my network is a lot more reliable than streaming it over a internet connection

I manage the network for my parent's house as well as my own, their highest bandwidth usage is streaming and it's over 1TB a month

>search for movie/tv show on netflix
>not available for streaming
>pay us a extra $10 a month for us to ship you DVD's
>good goy

This. Since they made it difficult to mask my IP, I only subscribe for one month at a time maybe three months out of the year.

I could live with Netflix if they had more classic movies and made it easy to see which movies are expiring soon. These things used to be possible.

>he doesnt know how to kodi hahahahahahaha

>be aussie
>stream 4k movie/episode
>fill my data cap in 1 day
lmao

what's a data cap?

something monopolies enforce on the goyim because they can

It's fine for dates since women are terribly materialistic. For everything else torrents are the way to go.

4k netflix movies are only about 15GB for 2 or so hours.

Are you serious? 1080p blurays are like 20gb

Normalfags don't care about picture quality and want bitrate starved streams

UK Netflix is fucking shit. There's hardly anything good on there. It was ok when you could change your DNS server to watch other countries libraries but since they blocked that it just isn't worth the money.

Legitimate stupid question here, but since this shit is illegal, how on earth do these shows and movies actually get on the internet? Is it people who work at the studio that secret release them or something? Detailed answers preferred, short is also fine though.

Someone just records them. That's literally it. For TV Shows they just record it as it comes on and then uploads it.

I don't even care that much about tv and film yet I've torrented over 3TB worth of shit. How can people in this day and age still not understand how to properly use torrents?

>1080p blurays are like 20gb

Just ripped a ton of blurays for a friend, they were all over 30GB.

I don't know why anyone wants 4K streaming when the bitrate is half a 1080p bluray,

forgive me for asking but what site is this? I don't download much stuff and since the fall of tpb/kat/private tracker i was part of, I don't really know where to find stuff. I go on extratorrents and it's fine but it doesn't really have that much.

>Me in the back

are you a moron? honest question?

try living in Australia, the government owns a pay tv service called foxtel and threatened Netflix if it didn't block its american service from its Australian customers because it was cut into foxtels bottom line. the ceo of foxtel then shat on foxtel customers say they were the problem not the fact that the foxtel paytv model is out of date and shit

>You can use MPC-HC , press D and it will instantly list, download and apply whatever language you selected within MPC.
>mfw being using MPC-HC for years and didn't know this

Man. That took me back. Thanks for posting this image.

Don't explain anything just pick a movie and put it on. If you're worried about having an "aesthetic" way to pick a movie together then just install plex or something so it can display everything in a netflix-like menu with posters and descriptions. Isn't that literally what it was made for?

Pic is my collection. Started on a 120 gb laptop in 2006 and now is regularly backed up on a 5tb in case this 2tb drive fails. Have another on standby waiting for me to start filling it. I like having a library of movies I know I actually enjoy and would be happy to show someone (almost) any of them.

well, it only works for the popular stuff.

case in point, yesterday I tried it on Master and Commander: The far side of the world, and there wasn't even 1 subtitle in any language.

I don't like the feeling of not owning something. I don't like paying for a service that lets me watch streaming content that they could take away at any moment and that is completely reliant on an internet connection.

I'd much rather buy or torrent media and have it on an external hard drive so it lasts forever and I can access it at any time without having to be connected online or to a service. Not that I hate netflix, I see the genius of it, but it's not for me. I don't even watch that much stuff anyways and some of the top shows that netflix supports I really do not want to support in anyway, shows like Girls and other garbage like that.

Or someone just buys the dvd or bluray and rips them and converts them to mkv or mp4 and uploads them.

>Not being on private trackers in 2017

What about when people say "its not even out yet" then who was phone?

haha jew shill trying to shift narratives around torrenting now

try again faggot, every normie I know comes to me to learn about torrenting, they love it and are blown away when I show them how easy it is.

I think I'm not social enough for this. I don't even know how to get on them, and when by miracle I get on one, I just dl what I want and ruin my ratio.

>australia

very rarely someone who works in a factory will swipe a copy and rip it. Big movies are sometimes sent out to retailers a couple weeks in advance and some stocker steals one. even more rarely someone involved with production will copy it and share it.

remember the unfinished wolverine leak with placeholder cgi shots? or when a whole like half a season of GoT leaked weeks early and we got to spoil everyone? good times

but user dont you know!

netflix and streaming services are hip now!

get with the program!

rarbg.to is the site

If no one paid for the (((media))) then they would give it all away anyway. The want you to watch the propaganda much more than get your money.

The already have all the fucking money.

I don't watch any of it.

> Why does Sup Forums have such a hate boner for these things.

Poor, Underage or Sup Forums that are physically incapable of ignoring some of the stupid shit they put out there.

Like shit. Sense8 and that new Dear White People shit is nonsense but 10 bucks gets me more and better entertainment than any 300+ dollar cable package.

>want to watch a film
>not on Netflix

What now?

>mfw plebs at work wonder how I'm way richer than they are.

BECAUSE I HAVEN'T -PAID- FOR A MOVIE OR TV SHOW SINCE 2005 YOU FILTHY ANIMALS

Who was in the wrong?

>the
What did he mean by this?

After two years of Netflix I just cancelled and I stream all my shit online now. I only watched 1-3 shows at a time and I'd binge watch so there would be weeks were I wouldn't log in. Also they have a terrible movie selection.
