Well, can’t cancel something that you never had, aye?
Helping others cancel is still canceling. Sharing is caring. 😇
🫡 aye! I’m honestly more comfortable with torrenting everything.
I feel like I’m ahead of the curve on this one, as I never left the high seas.
Wow. You just made me realize that I started using Plex 11 years ago.
What is Plex?
I keep trying to get my girlfriend to cancel these subscriptions but her entire family is completely computer illiterate and refuses to learn T-T
Never subbed since I saw streaming as a ripoff from the beginning. What’s happened to wake everyone else up?
In the beginning streaming was the best media access we have ever had. Golden era Netflix was amazing in my opinion. What made you feel it was a rip off?
It was too good to be true. Pay a pittance for access to everything forever? There was no way it would stay good, and when it stopped being good the people who had paid for it would own nothing. That was my thinking.
I’m a pirate and have been pretty much always, but I also realise that if literally everyone pirates, then where’s the funding for these things gonna come from?
Because when streaming began, it sort of deflated the DVD-market, and a lot of smaller but not exactly small projects have complained this. Because it’s made the investment riskier, but also more profitable. So now all we get is reruns and remakes and huge new shows for one season which then get cancelled.
I think public funding would be rhe answer, honestly. BBC studios are expanding, and I think that’s actually pretty smart of the UK. Hell, I’d donate some money to the BBC now for all the great shit I’ve watched for free over the years from YouTube. Peep Show, Quite Interesting, etc etc. And aI love Doctor Who, so it’s great Disney dropped them, BBC will want it back.
If there was like a straight up donation page for every movie / show etc and you knew the donation would count towards “ticketsales” but it was completely voluntary… idk. Something I’ve dreamt of.
So that the creative choices wouldn’t be in the hands of studio executives who don’t give a fuck about the art they’re making, just profits.
For instance Stargate has the fandom, people want it back, the creators want to bring it back, a lot of the old cast would be willing, it’s just the studios which are kinda the problem. Apparently they almost got into pre-production, had a script even, but then something something SAG-strike or covid or both.
I’m at the point where I pay for Amazon Prime, but torrent Amazon content to avoid the ads after I PAID for prime…
They really push people.
Ah right
typical corpo shit, you know, collaborating with fascists etc
I have been out of the game for so long that I couldn’t find the first ~10 seasons of the simpsons anywhere, with many of my old caches now defunct. So I ponied up the cash.
Fun fact (US), Amex has a $8 cash back offer right now (up to 12x) for Disney subs, and if you go to cancel your sub disney will offer you $10/mo instead of $17/mo for D+ for 3 months, so I’m getting my simpsons fix for $2 a month. Will cancel when the new year hits since it’ll jump back up.
Though at the speed I’m going, I’ll only be in season 6 or 7 by that time. Ah well.
Getting a good deal while supporting the suppression of free speech… huh… weird flex but okay.
You’re welcome to suggest other locations to get my entertainment, instead of spinning it like you’re taking the high-ground. I’ll be waiting~
There we go 😎 🛥
That’s a really tone deaf pitch
How would you explain your complicity to future generations? “Yeah, I know freedom of speech was under attack and I was complicit in that, but only because it was a really good deal. I saved $15 a month!”
Pretty easily since future conversation will never occur. 🤣
I know that I can’t ever keep my mouth shut about a good deal. Liberty be damned! 😆

“Well you see some people on the internet felt like $2 a month to watch content was betrayal, and expected everyone else on the planet to possess all of their knowledge automatically. So when I came in with my suggestion that I found a month prior, all these assholes just had to have their 10 seconds in the internet spotlight that I’m an awful person for watching to watch a show that I didn’t have a local copy of.”
Something like that. But you keep thinking about how you’re better than me.
Oh, by the way, while I’m not sure how much money you make or possess, I struggle to make ends meet at just over 10k a year. So figuring out ways to save is kinda my thing. Sorry for trying to help others while also tongue-in-cheek asking where to get a magnet link from. I’m sure you understood that before you were an ass, right? Surely.
All you need
Ahh. Tpb isn’t blocked for me, but this is useful into for others.
Sometimes it goes down. I just go here by default and click a random mirror.
Jokes on you I never had a subscription and hated Disney since the beginning.
Incredible, that’s really great.
I have to admit, the struggle might be parents. Kids probably don’t like being wrapped into parental decisions that “because of politics, we can’t watch Paw Patrol anymore”.
