Remember when Netflix almost had it perfect?

At one point it was the answer to piracy, IMO. I only ever subscribed to it and Spotify.

Then every studio and media corp decided to take us back to cable.

Yeah it was awesome. I didn't download a thing for years because the service was good and price was fair.

This year I finally gave in. Paying for 6 different streaming services and still not finding the movie we wanted to watch made me get a NAS and cancel (almost) all subscriptions. We kept Spotify and Netflix.

They can all get bent, literally.
