Streaming services are crap. For new years I wanted to give myself streaming for a month and nothing looked good. I didn’t get anything.
Breaking: Netflix has made another minor change for their subscribers.

While also raising their rates, of course.

Yep, cancelled my subscription the day they announced the two-tier plans.

Hey, that sludge pipe wasn’t cheap!

Netflix subscribers: “I just like to watch shows.”
Gosh, if only there were another service, or another way to do that. Shucks.

Doesn’t your library let you borrow DVDs? Seems outdated but I very recently binged three seasons of Succession thanks to my local library!

I saved up a bunch of shows and waited all year to binge in one month over the summer and cancel.

I love your recommendation. Unfortunately I am very out of the loop with that sort of thing these days. And I’m without resources if I accidentally break something. I need my desktop for work as well. I’d be happy to read up on the topic if you could suggest some reputable sources that someone without a tech background could break down. It’s why I save it all up until summer. So I pay them as little as possible.

sub for a month with a prepaid gift card (so no potential issues cancelling). binge for a week, run out of stuff to watch, the rest of the sub goes unused and wasted. been down that road once every year or two here.

So what you’re saying is, Happy Gilmore 2 will not save streaming?

I thought that was an Amazon bag sitting in the doorway due to the logo/handle similarity.

I didn’t watch the sewage pipe much but I kept up my subscription for the next seasons of Corn and Asparagus, but when they raised the price I had to finally cancel.

I seem to be in a minority in thinking I get good value for money from Netflix.

Someone told me they’re funding Sesame Street, is this not true?

I cancelled after I realized I watched 2, maybe 3 shows a year on it. Had it since the pre-streaming days.

Are you living in 2015? Nah, I’m kidding, if it gives you enough, then fine. I just canceled right after the pandemic.

It isn’t a bad value if you watch it regularly.
They do cycle in good movies, but they aren’t always up front and noticeable. Every service has a massive amount of trash and crappy interfaces for discovering stuff.

My wife is in your boat. I’ve tried to convince her many times to cancel but she refuses.
Netflix isn’t terrible. The Titan sub doc was good. Black Mirror, Love/Death/Robots. They have some good shows

If you like their content. For me, it’s like one in 50 items are worth watching, if that. Sorting through the duds costs time and ain’t nobody got time fo dat as far as I am concerned.

The stuff Netflix puts out, particularly the documentaries are far better quality than just about anything I’ve seen on cable or tv. I know people like to shit on Netflix but they have better content than most
