LOL.

We pay for 4K, but we don't get more than 720p unless we use some proprietary shit hardware and agree to their super-invasive "privacy policy" - and they expect people to NOT set sail in the high seas? GTFO..

12% over four years? Damn. Somehow I had the impression that there'd been a significant increase.

Netflix revenue is up by roughly 60% in the same four years.

Thank you for keeping things in perspective.

if these two numbers were reversed, piracy sites would get the same treatment as videos with actual criminal content. we're lucky

I'm really surprised by this, specially since I cancelled Netflix over a year ago myself...

It's like renting movies that can be taken away at any time since you don't own them. And ads can be introduced whenever. Not to mention poor streaming quality on top of all this.
