No, thanks.. As long as I can download whatever I want whenever I want (add it to nas and watch through Kodi having like Netflix experience), there is no way that those people will get my money. Most of it is just bullshit anyway. And if I like or want to support some quality release I'll go to cinema.

Rising prices is just the first stage of enshittification

Everyone is willing to stop paying for the content, but very few are willing to boycott it instead.

Cancelled Netflix last month. Still have Amazon Prime, but mostly for the delivery. The only video streaming subscription worth keeping is MUBI for now (and Nebula, but that hardly counts).

The era of Free Streaming has just begun

It was over the day the studios wanted to have their own services instead of licensing content to Netflix and competitors.

Nah, streaming is still completely free

these numbers are nearly reaching the point where buying seasons of shows on iTunes, which always seemed insanely expensive, becomes the better option for people who watch specific stuff. never thought I’d see the day
