Subscription services are getting out of hand and it’s basically a must that you need to limit yourself to at the very most 3 or 4 of them regardless of the global economy. They pile up and before you know it it’s death by a thousand cuts.

Why do people assume it’s automatically because of the cost of living?
I think it’s AI. Anyone can now easily get AI to build you a pretty app that looks similar to Netflix and works similarly as well. But for free.
If you saw how software as a subscription company stocks tanked a couple of months ago, this is the reason why. Pretty much any of these services can be recreated now for free.

Dumped 2 fringe channels last week (Critereon and Acorn). Now I’ve got Netflix and Prime targeted. The price is getting ridiculous, even with ads.

Netflix is the worst of the streaming services in terms of quality.
We haven’t had Netflix for over 5 years and we used to scroll through a bunch of shows for 10 minutes then give up.

I know I just quit my subs because there’s no money in the budget to cover them. Glad to know I’m not the only one.
Like other aspects of the economy, the wealthy that can absorb the rising cost of living will keep these companies profitable because they’ll pay the price hikes. Others like me will live without.

Cancelled Hulu and Netflix in the last month. Looking at Prime next.
