    Because fuck you, that’s why. I’m sure they will re-introduce the feature behind a paywall soon.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Once you tell a company that you are willing to pay for something more than once, prepare to get fucked, because that’s all you’re gonna get. And not the fun kind.

      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.

      Paywall already there. Excerpt taken from the linked article.

        Yikes. You know, I just in comfort the “pay for ad free” sales pitch for renewing my Amazon subscription. Shit bags.

        Edit: i’m only subscribed to Amazon because I live in a food desert, and it’s the only way I can get groceries
