  I’m doing my part!

  My renewal was literally tomorrow too. As these streaming services get worse, I keep on cancelling. Been two years for Prime (literally smashed cancel the day ads were announced) and all i’ve got left at this point is netflix and spotify.

  Netflix pricing almost has me there.

      I’d cancel it in a heartbeat but my wife would murder me.

        You could try moving to Tidal or Qobuz, they treat their artists better and there are tools to transfer playlists

        Buying music on Bandcamp and similar has been good for me. When I got laid off I kept all the music I owned and didn’t have to pay anymore. All these subscription services suck.

        Honest question, did you try self-hosted music?

        Few weeks ago I thought this was a joke but… there is a TON of stuff out there already.

        From the "rough"

        • minidlna (with optionally tailscale to listen outside the LAN)
        • 1min setup github.com/9001/copyparty
        • NextCloud

        to having mobile apps

        • navidrome (with updates via lidarr)

        to minimalist

        • github.com/agersant/polaris

        to federated

        • www.funkwhale.audio

        to handling discovery

        • github.com/epoupon/lms

        … there is just so much out there!

        I was recently turned on to Stremio + Torrentio and it’s very good. I’m considering making a Pi5 device dedicated to it.

    Netflix has been enshityfying and on the capitalist death spiral for YEARS, cancel that shit and spend your money on a VPN and some hard drives…

      I’ve been paying for a VPN for over a decade and I am up to about 20TB of used disks. Make of that what you will.

        Your setup isn’t modern enough and you still find convenience in paying for Netflix?

        I don’t know what else to make of it…

      Netflix makes dope original productions in my experience; I’ve watched many of their shows and enjoyed them.

        except they cancel after 2 seasons, because they dont want to pay anymore. Plus i saw the quality in some of the shows in the season, where thier costumes, or props quality is very showing.
