I've honestly just hit a point in life where I'm dine giving megacorps money. I stopped piracy like a decade ago because I had the means to pay for shit, but since then companies have just started treating customers with more and more disrespect, and I'm perfectly knowledgeable on how to access most of their shit fir free and with less restrictions and hassle. So Im back to piracy not fir money reasons, but FUCK YOU reasons
100% relatable. Done with these abusive subscriptions.
Yup. I'm looking for legal options to buy what I want so I can drop my last couple subscriptions (Disney+ and Netflix). I'm currently on the ad free versions of those, and if those go away or become too expensive, I'll be more motivated to get rid of them.
I already cut out Amazon Prime, Disney+ is the next to go. I'm updating my NAS so it can hold more videos, and I'll teach my kids how to use it instead of the smart TV. The next step is to replace my smart TV with a dumb TV...
