    • Make your career and personal relationships so fulfilling that the mere idea of needing to watch movies and TV shows for entertainment starts to seem utterly ridiculous.

    Damn, I thought this was a satire magazine, not a spitting-straight-facts magazine.

      I mean, this is kind of the case for me, except I would replace “fulfilling” with “overwhelming”.

    I don’t understand how people get addicted to these video streaming services. Every streaming service I’ve subscribed to is shit.

    I can’t tell if people are using the headline as a jumping off point or the whole thread just… ate the onion. (Nick Offerman eating onion)

    $15+ a month for one streaming service with some content

    $10 or less a month for VPN to access ALL CONTENT

    The choice is obvious here 😂

    the hardest part about sourcing my own iso’s is when Im talking to someone about a show or movie and they ask me what service it’s on and I have no idea or even a clue on how many different streaming services there are now

    i do one at a time for a month or two and switch, but it’s been nearly two years since i have subbed to anything (streaming or cable–which is ridiculously overpriced these days).

    i just watch the stuff i already have here and i’m in no danger of ‘running out’ of things to watch anytime soon.

    I keep 3 active. And only buy others a month at a time when something I wanna watch goes up.

    I’ll grab disney for a month to watch the new season of Doctor Who. Or a month of Max when House of the Dragon drops. Watch what I wanna watch. Plus a movie or two I had forgotten about.

    Just subscribe then cancel about 10 mins later. Use it for the month and it’s gone.
