Trakt to increase prices to $60 for all users, including those on legacy, promotional, and grandfathered pricing

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/44005969

I modified the title to make it more descriptive

I also think it's time for the open source and/or fediverse Trakt alternatives to get some love.

The price change is listed as going from $30 a year to $60 a year, and they're also changing everyone to that price:

Starting May 20, 2025, all VIP renewals will move to a standardized price. This means that any legacy, promotional, or grandfathered pricing will no longer apply to renewals processed on or after that date. Instead, all VIP memberships will renew at the new standard rate going forward.

People are not happy on their forum:

This user poll suggests that around 97% of respondents (at the time of making this post) will not renew

Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April

cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/27204525

We are also changing how remote playback works for streaming personal media (that is, playback when not on the same local network as the server). The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience, and as a result, we will no longer offer remote playback as a free feature. This—alongside the new Plex Pass pricing—will help provide those resources. This change will apply to the future release of our new Plex experience for mobile and other platforms.

[REQUESTING] What are the darkest, most disturbing or depressing movies you have ever seen, and what can you recommend?

Originally posted on r/MovieSuggestions on March 6, 2021. Changed list link to archive link due to the original link now being dead.

Inspired by a list from IMDb, curated by Dr. Unken (https://web.archive.org/web/20210306111226/https://www.imdb.com/list/ls031142976/), I am in search of other films that have a similar tone to the films in that list. You can recommend me anything, even if the film is the same from that list. They can be in any genre and the language can be English or a foreign language.

Examples of such films include:

  • "Martyrs" (2008) (In French with English subtitles)
  • "Funny Games" (1997) (In German with English subtitles)
  • "Possessor" (2020)
  • "We Need to Talk About Kevin" (2011)
  • "You Were Never Really Here" (2017)
  • "Dragged Across Concrete" (2018)
  • "Green Room" (2015)
  • "Manhunter" (1986)
  • "Nightcrawler" (2014)
  • "Kill List" (2011)
  • "Enter the Void" (2009)
  • "Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father" (2008)
  • "Blue Ruin" (2013)
  • "Requiem for a Dream" (2000)
  • "Antichrist" (2009)
