Netflix Resumes Advertising on X After Elon Musk Controversy::Netflix has resumed advertising on X following a suspension by the streamer and other brands after Elon Musk promoted an antisemitic post.
Capitalism. As soon as bad PR is over, it’s back to business.
When is his bad PR ever over?
When the cool down counter reduces to zero. He’s preparing the next bad PR though
It has been 1 0 days since the last Elon PR disaster
another reason never to return to Netflix
Is this Elon amongst us right now mate?
what the fuck does this even mean?
Means neige is fantasizing about Elon at daytime. He is asking if the other commentator is doing the same. 🤭
I’ll tell you who has an obsession about anything related to Elon, and it’s not me.
Then why are you posting and replying, liar?
I found it pretty insane how you people focus on celebrities, you got nothing going on your life? I don’t care about Elon :/
Good thing my torrent site of choice doesn’t advertise on Xtwitter.
With moisture in the air and the gentle sea breeze upon our faces; life is good.
Yup. Upgraded my Plex drives, 15tb of music and movies.
Those are rookie numbers :)
Congrats on the upgrade. I upgraded from 6x3T to 6x6T a couple years ago. Wish I had waited a little longer but feared drives going bad.
What about redundancy?
I have all my drives in a ZFS array. Should allow failure of a couple before I lose anything.
What’s the point? If a drive starts failing just redownload it again. I really don’t see the point on keeping everything constantly off-line when I can just torrent them again.
Sometimes you’re the only seeder for some torrents.
Yep, I guess it’s time to cancel Netflix.
Once they raised prices I created a media server with jellyfin (+Sonarr, Radarr, QBittorrent) and never looked back.
Automatically downloads new episodes of my favorite shows
Got my own personal netflix accesible anywhere with infinite users. No one can cancel an episode of my fav show and erase it from existence.
I have jellyfin but Netflix is more reliable and convenient. It’s just that recently it’s really hard to find anything interesting on Netflix anyway so this Twitter BS is just like the last drop…
IDK man, I am able to continue shows where I left off and do anything Netflix can do You can see all the actors in a movie, and then see all the shows and movies I have that the actor is in. I think it’s more featured than Netflix
I followed this guide to set it up so shows automatically download, and I can add movies to be monitored. I don’t do anything unless I want to add a new show for monitoring.
I have every movie I’ve ever liked, and don’t have to switch platforms when my show gets removed from Netflix.
$0 a month…
Avid jellyfin user here:
Subtitles on jellyfin suck. Like really suck. Unless they are burned in with the media (maybe not the right term, but when they are shipped with the media as a track which some private trackers require) , they progressively get more and more out of sync to a plateau and get messed up with tracking. Almost every release this year has a “fix” for. Multiple clients with the same behavior. Not to mention getting hardware accelerated transcoding working on an ARC GPU 😅
But overall Jellyfin is damn great. It just is not quite to the refinement of Netflix, which is fine! It isn’t commercially backed luckily, so it won’t go to shit for money like Netflix did either.
Thats a fair point, i only notice it when trying to watch Korean movie. Thats not often for me, but i could see it being an issue if you use them often
I had issues with some shows not playing because of some encoding issues that I wasn’t able to resolve. Sometimes have couple of audio tracks and some subtitles but usually there’s just one language and that’s it. Maybe you can get it with additional setup but Netflix just works with all the features I’m interested in. Still, Jellyfin is good enough and content on Netflix is weak lately.
You can set your download options in Sonarr and Radarr so that you only get certain filetypes and certain bitrates. This can keep you from filling your drive with 10GB+ 4k movies if you don’t need that quality too
I highly suggest revisiting, using that guide I linked.
I gave up on my media server many times due to complexity and issues, once I set this up I can’t go back.
Can I do this with Plex too? The automatic downloading part? Or do I need to switch to another server app
Yes I use it with Plex. Sonarr and Radarr handle the download and pass it off to Plex.
Always has been.
Why? What did they do before?
They banned password sharing (family account) if everyone doesn’t live in the same location sometime ago.
and still people are lazy enough to just pay those bucks more a month
I don’t see this as a dick move. The rules were clear from the start, they just started enforcing theme. It’s not a bait and switch or something.
I guess the “Sharing is Caring” campaign was just a fever dream then.
If you subscribed to Netflix because you planned on sharing password and you think it’s not worth the full price then the moment you can’t share your password anymore and you cancel it. No money lost, you used it for some time and now you don’t use it. What’s the problem? Did you get addicted to it? It’s not cigarettes. Seriously, it’s entertainment and people talk about it like its insulin.
I wasn’t sharing my password with anyone so I didn’t care about the policy change.
Ssh we’re mad at netflix, you’re not supposed to be defending them…
Shm yeah netflix may be scum, but enforcing password sharing policies, which had been part of the EULA from day 1, isn’t scummy.
They marketed 4 streams. Not 4 seats. [And only getting 1 seat 4 times, which is fucking pointless.] That’s a whole different meaning. No one reads the EULA so it doesn’t fucking matter what horse shit Naziflix puts in the fine print.
why do you still have it after all this time
Because they we’re really doing anything bad until now. Raising prices is not a dick move. It’s a private company offering entertainment. They can milk it however they want and I can cancel it when I decide it’s not worth it.
I’d argue it’s not been worth it for a long time. Also raising prices may not be that bad but
limiting your access to only one IP adresspreventing password sharing definitely is a dick move.Well, that’ really depends if you like their content or not, right?
Also, they don’t limit your access to one IP. You can download things on your tablet to watch later and you can stream from different locations when you travel. They really only complain if you stream from two completely different geographical locations at the same time.
Define “different geographical equations”. Can you still share it with a friend? I thought they prevented that.
No, you define “limiting access to one IP”. Because they don’t do that. It’s not the same as preventing password sharing. They can prevent sharing password without limiting IP addresses.
okay preventing password sharing is a dick move then
“Ahh, it’s been a week, no one remembers that ol Elon Musk agreeing with Nazi rhetoric thingy. Let’s spool those ads up again. We’re definitely seeing a return on our marketing budget by advertising on the platform known for being mostly bots!”
Now watch as all the corporations that paused their advertising slowly return to the platform.
They were always going to. As long as Xitter has a user base with money to spend, the large corporations do not care. Anything they do like withdrawing advertising is all for show.
And after all, are you going to cancel your Netflix subscription over this? I actually probably would personally but my partner uses it quite a lot, so we’re sticking around. Some people will cancel no doubt but nowhere near a critical mass that will affect their bottom line and they know it.
You would cancel your Netflix subscription because they advertise on X?
They wouldn’t have called it a “pause” otherwise.
Time to find Netflix ads next to neo Nazi posts…sure glad I got rid of Netflix.
I think if I hadn’t dropped Netflix when they did a 180 on their stance on password sharing, I would drop them now.
There probably were a lot of discussions and negotiations, but a lot of the public only sees Netflix going back to Twitter. I’m sure Elmo fans will promote this as Netflix having to bow down
Pussies.
Maybe I know nothing about business but why would Netflix even need to advertise there? I’m not even sure they have to advertise at all anymore.
I’m happy that I’ve cancelled my Netflix a while ago.

Maybe Netflix has decided that having their ads shown next to neo-Nazi propaganda is a good look for them.
Fuck Netflix. They support fascism.
