I used to pay for Netflix, HBO, Prime and Disney+, now I don't pay for anything. The reasons are quite simple: everything got more and more expensive some of the services started pushing ads down my throat even though I paid for them (usually the higher tier) So I got back to torrenting + self-hosting (had to migrate from Plex to Jellyfin because even self-hosted solutions are turning to shit). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 1 year ago Oh that's definitely in there, but you feel a kind of resentment and 'why the fuck do i need these people?' On top of it, right? plex to jelly fin If you pay for it, you do not own it. Only that taken with lead steel or lies is ever really yours. Or what's freely given, i guess, but corporations can't do that. permalink fedilink source parent [–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago They pretty much nailed it as far as I'm concerned. permalink fedilink source parent
