Netflix has managed to annoy a good number of its users with an announcement about an upcoming update to its Windows 11 (and Windows 10) app: support for adverts and live events will be added, but the ability to download content is being taken away.
Netflix must realize that it’s a huge frustration for people who relied on offline downloads to watch content without internet access: on planes, trains, and campsites, and anywhere else where Wi-Fi is unavailable or unreliable.
There’s a small chance that Netflix will change its mind if it gets enough complaints, but the streaming service seems determined to add as many money-making features as possible, while taking away genuinely useful ones.
If I watch it on TV, computer, tablet or phone, I pirate it. Else, I pay.
Hell, I’m pirating Amazon even though I have Amazon Prime because of how crap the app is.
this.
and anything that looks interesting that is out of the netflix line up.
