I cut all streaming services out of my life last year, except for Curiosity Stream, a sort of “Netflix” for educational documentaries.

But I haven’t even been watching that in a while, so maybe I should stop paying for it.

I just got sick of rising prices and invasive ads despite paying to avoid them. I use Plex now. I paid the one-time fee for the Lifetime Plex Pass and now I have access to all their advanced tools and streaming content, plus I can rip my movies/TV shows/music to my PC and stream them myself through Plex. No ads, no extra junk, no “are you still watching?” pop-ups. Just hit play and enjoy.
