Corporate Execs: “How can we enshitify this service even more?”
Meanwhile I’m still able to cast anything from my Plex server 😏
Jellyfin too. How odd!
Casting support is still available on older Chromecast devices or TVs that support Google Cast natively, according to Netflix’s support page, but only for subscribers on pricier ad-free plans, which start from $17.99 per month. Netflix users with an ad-supported subscription ($7.99 per month) will be unable to cast from their phones even if they own legacy Chromecast devices.
Scummy
This is gross. This costs them nothing. Enshittification manifest
Yup. Limitation just 'cause. Capitalism at work.
When I read the headline without context, I thought casting directors were just casting actors unseen over the phone.
But this is worse.I suspect that casting might have been used by people to easily capture and share Netflix shows illegally, so they just shut it down.
This is the only way this makes sense to me. But I still hate it
No, apparently it’s just tied to premium subscription.
