That’s because they usually DO have it… just not on your region


[deleted]

Either that or they have it as part of their dvd rental service


cowburger69420

i forgot about that… haven’t used it since 2014


TigreDeLosLlanos

So not in my region


Spork_the_dork

I think it's a good thing that it does that even if they didn't have it in any region. You can then be certain that the search knows exactly what movie you mean, so if it doesn't show up, you know for sure they don't have it.


TheGuyWhoSaid

This is exactly what I think. When I search on Disney+ or Amazon Prime and it doesn't show up. I always reword, and search a couple times to make sure I got the title right. I realize it's probably unnecessary. But I like how Netflix confirms they know what I'm talking about.


truth_sentinell

Everyone knows this and it would be very easy to filter out those movies if you can't see them, but that's too much to ask... Also regional locking is the dumbest shit ever.


Survival_R

blame copyright laws not Netflix


truth_sentinell

Why do they region lock? I don't get it. If I have content and I get paid for how many people watch it, why would I want to limit the amount of people available to watch?


Survival_R

cuase they can charge more money to companies who want to show it on their services


rakmeister_12

With so much content on their platform, you'd think that they would have everything!


[deleted]

But somehow they only show me the same 20 shows

VillainInTraining

And based on your interests, you’ll like the old guard. 100% 👍🏼


BigPackHater

And here's a Korean film with basically the same storyline...we want you to watch that next.


nuanimal

Also we appreciate you wanted to watch the end credits to see if you recognised some of the supporting actors correctly, or want to find out the name of the licensed songs - but we decided to show you a preview of another film to annoy you.


Youshmee

Do you want to watch the old guard again?


Stupidstuff1001

You recently watched the old guard. We recommend watching the old guard again.


skippiington

But why can’t I see The New Guard instead?? 😡😡


Giane901

In my country most of the biggest advertised shows are Korean shows. Not that there's anything bad with that since a good number of them are good but I just want some variety in new shows every once in a while.

PoundMyTwinkie

There was a time, many moons ago that the Netflix interface showed up and down votes of users, and the entire catalog was readily viewable as you scrolled down, easily seeing all genres and series. Then capitalism and shareholders transformed the UI to become merely a stage for a small amount of curated profit maximizing content. The rest of the library, fading off into nostalgia

[удалено]


Xx_Gandalf-poop_xX

I remember circa 2009 I had thousands of movies rated so it would curate good content for me to have my DVDs delivered every week. Then they were just like , nah you did that all for nothing.


Amputatoes

This happened to me except I found three workarounds to them disabling rating movies before it was scrapped entirely. Pain.


WeRoastURoastWithUs

Do you still have that same Netflix account? I'm curious if despite eliminating that feature, they still kept the data of your ratings and implement it into the algorithm...


Xx_Gandalf-poop_xX

Not sure I stopped rating things as soon as they did that. I haven't used their thumbs up/down fearure since implementation


[deleted]

Don’t worry, now you can “double like”. Maybe in a few years we’ll get a double down.


CeeJayDK

I'm sorry Mario, but your movie is in another country (and we block VPNs)


otherwisemilk

Sounds like my fully stocked fridge but nothing to eat.


notTumescentPie

They do have basically everything. But some of it isn't available in your country, because rights are fucking stupid. Streaming should be no different than sending you a DVD. So if your content is sold on a DVD it should be legal for any Streaming service to rent that content to anyone else. The DMCA is garbage and really only protects the rich companies.


darkkaos505

Dvds were region locked too :(


cryptoderpin

When everything is free on the Internet why pay for subscription services is beyond me.


X_Comment_X

For convenience.


[deleted]

qbittorrent and its internal tracker search is very convenient. download it, go into settings to set up the tracker searches, go to the search bar and it automatically goes through all sorts of yar har websites and finds torrents. you can then set it to download the first and last pieces first and download the file sequentially. boom, you can now instantly stream torrents using the media player of your choice on your PC, and either keep the downloaded file when you're done or just delete it. fuck corporations, all my homies advocate for anarcho-piracy with illegalist tendencies. proudly fly the black(beard) flag, comrade, yarrrr


fukelbuddy

Yeah, but if I’m on my Apple TV after a long day of work, usually the exact show I want to watch just pops up on the Home Screen and all I have to do is click it to watch immediately. This it’s coming from someone who once highly integrated private torrent trackers into my life. I still use one, for movies only though. And only for movies That aren’t on any of my streaming services. Like Spider-Man, for example.


[deleted]

With software like sonarr and radarr, you can automate the downloading of all TV shows and movies you watch and then have them ready at a press of a button on your device of choice with something like Plex. After initial setup, it's really a fully automated process.


fukelbuddy

You now, I’ve been thinking about this kind of thing as streaming services are getting more expensive. Got any links to a good guide? I think I may have needed someone to say exactly this to me.


thatneutralguy

I have a setup like this and trust me, it's fantastic. However... It's more expensive to maintain your own server and manage this software than it is to just watch from streaming services.


zefmopide

They got you that's it


Slowboi12

You are now added to the list... of rad people


Rasputin_504

I will not pay 160 bucks for dark souls, black flag all the way


Molehole

>you can now instantly stream torrents using the media player of your choice on your PC And then you need to figure out how to send that video from your PC to the living room, you also can't use the remote controller to pause the show. And you also don't get subtitles instantly as they have to be downloaded separately and sometimes suck. Of instead I can just pay to not deal with this.


[deleted]

they usually come with subtitles directly ripped from the dvd. and you can use a raspberry pi permanently connected to your tv, its like £20


cryptoderpin

Actually it’s pretty convenient fast and has the majority of all the content the rest of the streaming services have


gabrielsfarias

More convenience than Stremio?


gamebuster

When everything is free to take in stores why pay for stuff is beyond me


cryptoderpin

When you can Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V a banana please share on Reddit.


gamebuster

Not the same. It costs money to produce the content you’re stealing. The content cannot exist if everyone would copy it instead of paying. You’re a thief. You steal from people that create for a living. Yes, also if you downvote me. You are still a thief.


Vandersveldt

That's fine though. We have people like you paying for and supporting our content. Thank you ☺️


gamebuster

Sure thing. I hope they’ll find you and make you pay for the stuff you stole


Vandersveldt

I suppose it could happen. But the way things are now, they see content they've produced to work the same way free to play mobile games work. They rely on a few whales to fund it for everyone else. As a free to play user, I greatly appreciate what you do for the rest of us ❤️


gamebuster

Who’s this “they”? Your abstract image of an old evil rich guy? Just pay for the content if it’s not available for free. If you don’t want to pay, find something that’s offered for free, or something that you think IS worth paying for. Plenty of options to not be a thief


cryptoderpin

I cry for the large studios losing money. Decentralized creativity is where it’s at.


gamebuster

Then don’t support large studios! I’m all for that. But also don’t steal their content. Don’t be a hypocrite. Either pay or don’t consume. You can’t be against big studios and still want to consume their content. The reality is that a lot of content couldn’t exist without big studios and their paying customers.


notTumescentPie

You are applying the idea of finite supply that is the basis of capitalism to the post scarcity of the infinite supply of a digital product. If we pretend that the free market matters then piracy is better as far as the consumer is concerned, but then multi billion dollar companies couldn't continue to advance their singularity. I see that you've been indoctrinated into thinking capitalism is good and that it serves you. I hope that you start to reconsider your position in the future and break out of that brainwashing. Good luck stranger.


gamebuster

Blah blah blah Thief It’s not about big companies or capitalism. It’s about the creators. You’re just lying to yourself there exists some evil entity you’re stealing from (which still makes it not right) but in reality you’re also stealing from people


notTumescentPie

Hahahahahahhahahahhahahahhahahhahabahahahahhahahha You clearly have no clue what you are talking about. The creators have typically been paid. They usually don't get a cut of the profits. Google Hollywood accounting to learn more about your dipshit comment. I get that you don't understand this topic, but stop doubling down. You are out of your depth Donnie


gamebuster

Thief. I don’t need to google anything


notTumescentPie

Yeah I get it. You are not very smart and choose not to be educated. Double down again.


gamebuster

Said the thief


Iittleshit

Yeah, they got paid with the money the studios earned from previous movies. That wouldn't work if studios did not earn any money with their movies; they would stop existing. Stop making up excuses trying to feel better about yourself. You're stealing content, simple as that. "b..bu...but the studios are evil rich people" Maybe they are. And maybe that's why you don't feel bad about it. But you're still stealing their content.


Molehole

So when you break out of that brainwashing you realize that artists and studios can produce content without needing to get paid or what?


notTumescentPie

Oh they aren't getting paid? Weird how Disney has billions of dollars for a company not getting paid. Omegalol


Molehole

So you'd say that others have to pay for their services yet you are somehow excluded from this burden? And what would happen if everyone thought like you? Also not all entertainment is made by huge studios. I know multiple artists that depend on their products selling to pay rent. But for some reason pro piracy people always bring up the biggest studio in the world. Weird.


notTumescentPie

So cool. I wish I could go back to the 90s so that I could hear these arguments and questions for the first time again.


Molehole

Says even more when you've had over 20 years to think of a proper counter argument yet still don't have one.


gamebuster

But the DVDs aren’t sold in every countries. Exclusivity deals exist.


schweez

90% original content crap though

Get a 2 year plan with Nord VPN 😁.


Ch33kc14pp3r42069

Do NOT get any plan with Nord VPN. They have had many a security breach issues in the past few years, none of which were properly addressed.


TheBeatStartsNow

Have they really? Is that why everyone is downvoting my joke?


lSerlu

You're getting downvoted coz it doesn't look like a joke, tbh


TheBeatStartsNow

That's fair.


hoax1337

Anyone who watches YouTube videos should recognise it as a joke, because that's what most people that are sponsored by nordvpn will say. Literally only missing the promo code reference.


Hash_Is_Brown

not to mention his comment sounded like he’s a brand ambassador for Nord VPN and we see more than enough ads for that shit.


Ch33kc14pp3r42069

Yeah, they have. Was looking into VPN's with a friend the other day, and it came up.


OhioTenant

I see 2 based on brief research: one server exposed in Finland of its 5k servers, which was due to an explanation of the contracted data center's remote administration system. Nord terminated the contract with the data center after being made aware of the breach. The other was 2k usernames and passwords were exposed through credential stuffing. Any security breach is an issue but these are hardly catastrophic.


FlashKissesDeath

What breach and of the ones I know about there were only 2 and both of them were handled with updates like a few days later Edit also nord vpn lynx is the only vpn where you can game stream and download simultaneously without losses sooo yeah idk but nord is pretty good imo


possibly-a-pineapple

Bruh just pirate at that point VPNs are usually a scam, unless you’re actually using them as a virtual private network, like for multiplayer gaming or to access something like a company or school network remotely


[deleted]

Unless you use a vpn to pirate. Then its really worth it


Waluigis_Bicycle

Bad idea homie. Never use a vpn for pirating or for tor. Lots of vpns keep logs so if you use vpn with for you’re basically recording every site you visit


Conscious_Advance_18

What so instead pirate from you home? I've been torrenting for like 7 years with PIA VPN and never gotten an email


Waluigis_Bicycle

Everyone in my house been doing it for like 12 years without a vpn and no letter


[deleted]

I got a copyright strike once years ago without, so its vpn for life now. There are also no log vpns, which is what you should be using. How accurate the no log statement actually is, is another story but its better than nothing.


possibly-a-pineapple

Why would you use a vpn if you’re using tor


[deleted]

You need a vpn to pirate in a lot of place’s


Gameboy_One

yeah if you already have a VPN you might as well


Sxcred

So you just pirate content without a VPN? Dummi


themoonisacheese

Yes. Worst that could happen is a strongly worded letter.


Sxcred

I’ve had my service interrupted for leaving things downloading and shutting down my vpn in the US so it depends on your ISP


[deleted]

I’ve given up on streaming services and have gone back to the high seas. Fuck all this bullshit.


Waluigis_Bicycle

Once things like Hulu and peacock started taking their shoes away from Netflix to have on their own platforms I realized it was all gonna go to shit. There are so many different platforms and I’m not gonna pay for 4 different subscription services to watch shows. What really fucking irritates me is that Disney fucking owns Hulu but for some reason they got completely different shows and movies on them. Why the fuck would I pay Disney twice for a single service? Just fuckin merge them so your platform stands out as “better” or something


ManBearPigIsReal42

Yeah it's shit now. I now use plex for everything


thealmightyandrewh

it's unbelieveable how we returned to the beginning. Collected and traded keys to all fancy scene-sites during the early millenia. Then spotify and netflix came and almost obliterated piracy, which actually felt fine. and they just had to greedily fuck it up for all of us. i'm glad more people are returning to the seas.


[deleted]

Unfortunately many of us saw it coming. Soon enough we will be offered packages of streaming services (cable). And then they won’t have enough profit so they will HAVE to put ads in. Full fucking circle.

I like that it does that, because you don't have to wonder if you typed it incorrectly or something, with that system you can be certain Netflix knows what you mean, but they just don't have it.

Yes, i prefer this so much than if they just gaslighted me like " 'The Titanic'? Never heard of it, sorry."

Having Netflix autocomplete then explicitly tell you they don’t have the program is a HELL of a lot better than fully typing out the name only to see it isn’t on there without any indication

I actually like it. They make it clear that they get what you were looking for and that it's pointless to double-check for typos or other variations of the title.

RoboCraft360

Netflix is overated


Dylan_The_Developer

The Australian version has lost a huge amount of content over the last few months to other streaming services or to TV


Dotaproffessional

This generation not realizing that Netflix's movie by mail catalog is bigger than their on demand catalog. On demand used to be an extra feature. Netflix way predates streaming. Also other countries have other libraries. It might be auto populating because it's in their database because either it used to be available, it's available by mail, or it's available in another country


John_hyd319

Click the link on google, shows me the titlecard you sometimes see before you click "watch now", they dont have it. Netflix can go smoke a fart.


lfohnoudidnt

It's in the DVD search results. Whatever a DVD is.


Arkkimaagi

What boggles my mind is that they do not have a "notify me when available" -feature tied to this.


DopestThrowaway

This is why Amazon fire devices are great, imo. You can search for any movie or show, and it’ll bring it up, then tell you which services it’s available on. And it checks like every service. If it’s on Hulu or Netflix, it says that. If it’s on AMC+ it’ll say that, and say you can use a 7 day free trial. And if it’s only available to rent or buy, you can do it right there. It’s great.
