      Getting closer? It’s already there when you combine multiple services.

    2. It’s even easier to cancel. My Plex library has superior quality and quantity.

    3. Not to defend these companies raising prices, but I pay for Prime, Netflix, Disney+, and YouTube Premium and am still paying way less than I was when I had cable. Way, way less, about $100 less. I have plenty of things to watch between those services, more than I think I could ever watch if I tried. Sure, some day the price will get to where cable was, but the key word is was. Cable prices are also going up and up. Having paid for cable and now these streaming platforms, I’d still rather have the current setup versus what we had before.

      I was an early adopter of Netflix. Canceled after the cuties fiasco and never looked back. The whole ” we are the alternative to cable as we are cheaper and have no ads” premise is gone completely.  If I really want to watch something, I find ways to do so without supporting them.

      I canceled on this past increase. Even with the T-Mobile discount, it’s just not worth it

      I just wanna know how the hell we got away from paying for no ads to paying and getting ads so fucking fast lol
