That’s a shame, there seem to be a lot of options for mobile apps on Lemmy but not on kbin. Maybe it’s okay though because their web interface is pretty good. I’ve been using it on mobile and it works well enough. Scales well to various sizes.
Perhaps once the API is mature there will be more apps and developers, provided the user base is there.
Infinitely reproducible digital media has little inherent value. As the article acknowledges, the value proposition Netflix offered was convenience. If pirate sites offer more convenience than Netflix offers legitimate users, Netflix will lose. I find it baffling they are fucking around with ads and locking down access, making their experience worse. Same with Amazon Prime. It’s like they forgot their own business model.
