I re-subscribed to Netflix for the first time in about a year and a half a couple of months ago. After watching a few things periodically, I'm already lukewarm on the content. I just got an antenna so I can watch some local things (news, sports, etc.) and I'm not sure I'll bother with Netflix going forward. I see another cancellation looming in my future, and that'll only come faster if they decide to increase the price yet again. Most of the time I already feel like I'd rather be reading a book than watching TV.

I just resubbed for Fall of the House of Usher. I'll watch that and the new Adam Sandler, then will unsub again. I have no problem with paying for things that provide value, but its stupid to keep paying if I'm not going to use it
