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...
