    • 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”.

    $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 😂

    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)

    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.

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

    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.
