That's OK. I've already removed Netflix

How do you watch TV shows and movie now ?

I personally buy the shows I want and rip them to my media server. It seems to be about $10/season, $10-15/movie, which I think is cheaper in the long run than paying for no-ads on these streaming services.

On top of that you get to keep the blu ray artworks and extras so pretty worth it i might say

Yup, and I can lend them to people as well. If I recommend someone, there's a good chance I have it, and there's also a good chance it's not on whatever streaming platform they use.

I just don't watch many shows and a lot of the stuff coming out I don't find that great anyway so I'd rather do something else with my time than pay more for worse service.
