    So I canceled Netflix over Cuties, and prematurely canceling shows. I canceled Hulu for rising prices and ads. I stopped paying Max because of their inability to keep their own shows on their own platform. Now it looks like I’ll be canceling Prime. I don’t order that many things online these days.

    I buy maybe one TV show and three movies a year. Much cheaper than these “services”. Also, no ads, and they aren’t disappearing. They stay right where I left them and I can watch them any time I want. I like reading, maybe I’ll do more of that, or complete my backlog of games I haven’t finished.

    All that being said, my wife started paying for all of the above services because they each “have something” she likes to watch. She also subscribes to Acorn, Peacock, Paramount+, Disney+…I guess she can part ways with her money on this bs. I am done.

      I might just go back to blu-ray at this point. HBO still has my money because they generally seem to give a shit about quality at least.

        Do it, no one can take them away from you at that point. They’re usually the highest quality, and you can rip them and stream them yourself. I’m not into… alternatives… anymore, but I do buy blu rays and 4ks whenever I can
