YSK: HBO Max's "Legacy Ad-Free" tier only supports 4k for 6 months

After that, 4k support will vanish, enjoy the price increase! Also, Dolby Atmos audio will also go away after that 6 months, too. Streaming services truly are a race to the bottom now, aren't they? I've already cancelled. Back to the high seas for me.

Yup. Those farts don't understand that the only reason streaming took off like it did is because it was more convenient than piracy and cheaper than cable TV. That's no longer the case.

and piracy has become easier than ever; with the Plex and the *arr suite of apps (plus a VPN), it's become a completely automated process to create your own, custom streaming server, and for cheaper than paying for several streaming services.

I use plex, do you mind pointing me in the direction of that suite my friend?

Radarr/Sonarr and it’s many friends. Look into Swizzin or Saltbox as solutions

And lacked ads. At this point, I'll read a book before paying to watching ads.
