My card had expired when Netflix tried to charge me, and they shut off my access.

Told the family we'll wait til something new and interesting comes out to resub, maybe binge. That was months ago and haven't even thought of it since.

I don't know what the play is here. HBO and Paramount have better movies. Even Tubi has better movies, subjectively. HBO and Hulu and Peacock have better shows. None have the gall to ask for so much money.

Both Hulu and Peacock recently increased their prices by a dollar or something. Then Spotify did it. They’re just squeezing the last little bit of revenue they can before we’re all completely broke.

I’m just waiting for the steaming aggregator service to come along to sell packages. Then we are full circle back to cable.

With video previews delivered via the webtorrent protocol and a basic search index to quickly find those previews?

Disney is already doing it with Hulu, ESPN and Disney +. They just need to buy a few more companies.

For streamer exclusives, queue shows into month-sized batches. Rotate to a different streaming network each month and work through the queue.

For mainstream movies, seek discount codes for iTunes/MoviesAnywhere 4K.

Unfortunately, a lot of new episodes of shows on Hulu delete after 8 days. We tried to save up a few episodes to watch at once and realized only the latest was still available. Maybe for this reason?

The play is jellyfin, *arrs, and a vpn
