Might finally get me to cancel Netflix, but who am I kidding, I probably have 6+ hours of it playing in the background daily.

The problem I really have is the lack of 4k without buying a ton of extra screens. A single screen 4k plan would fix 99% of my complaints about pricing.

You could go with YouTube if you want something on the background. Or just ~~pirate the media~~ buy BluRays and DVDs of the shows and movies you rewatch.

YouTube works for the other 6 hours of content I’m playing in the background. Netflix having long tv series keeps me on the platform cause where else am I going to find 20 seasons of one show easily accessible

I have no idea what that is, but I’m not interested in piracy. It’s just not something I want to deal with.

I respect your choice, but I wish you luck in your endeavor of getting continuously fucked

Nah, if he sticks with it long enough streaming will collapse and a new market will give him plentiful media with a great user experience on the cheap.

Bets on how long he'll have to wait? Cable had a good fifty years...
