I cancelled Netflix and prime and went back to piracy a few months ago, it's been a nice blast from the past
In addition to piracy, I've also been checking out DVDs from my local library. It's kinda fun.
Surprised myself because I half expected I'd miss the convenience of Netflix, but I haven't missed it even a little.
"Was I a good streaming platform?"
"No."
It was nice when you could actually watch almost everything on it. Once everyone else started taking peices of the pie it just feels like cable with more hoops now
Every time I open a streaming service now, the things I want to watch are locked into an extra subscription. I generally end up just walking away rather than watching anything, and when I do dig around and find some thing else that is available on “my tier,” it absolutely wasn’t worth it.
Forget even piracy, I’m just not watching anything anymore. When streaming makes my chore list look more attractive, they’ve definitely fucked up.
