    In Canada, cable packages are still pretty freaking expensive.

    But as streaming prices increase, we’re closing our accounts on an the platforms. I just shut down my Netflix account due to their new policy and pricing. Next is probably going to be Disney who’s going to add commercials soon.

    If there are going to be ads, it better be free. I’m not paying to see commercials. I’ll use Tubi and Pluto instead and I’ll use torrents and set up my own shared media server at home.

    It’s not like Disney and Netflix and Amazon aren’t making any money. They’re making record profits while the actors and writers are on strike. Fuck em and their greed.

      I just recently went the media server route and don’t think I can look back. It’s not exactly cheaper as I build my library, had to fork over another $50/mo for unlimited data,…but that should be temporary.

        I’m on Freedom mobile, and they just converted all my roaming data to nationwide high-speed. So I have like 30Gb a month on my phone’s data plan. I hardly hit 2 a month. I’m thinking about how I can hotspot my server before it ticks over every month.
