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
-
You can't honestly expect everyone to understand how to do these things.
If you really wanted to "promote the cause" then you would just host a JellyFin/Plex/Kodi/Whatever.
-
If you can get them to pitch in for a drive for your birthday its worth it. If not, hopefully they watch it before the array starts filling up

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.

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!"
-
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

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 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.

typical corpo shit, you know, collaborating with fascists etc
-
-
Jokes on you I never had a subscription and hated Disney since the beginning.
-
Incredible, that's really great.
-
-
I haven't even bothered pirating the MCU movies or Star Wars TV shows (Andor excepted) in the last few years.
-
Andor was fantastic. Everything Gilroy has done is my favorite Star Wars.

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”.
-
Time to sail the high seas. Paw Patrol, Bluey, Spongebob, what have you. They are all floating out there.
-
When kids watch the same 4 shows on repeat, they go on emby/Plex/jellyfin.
No need for a sub to watch the same thing over and over. Kind of like buying DVDs still lol

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.
