Why would you be even? They got rid of it because for whatever reason people complained about offering a more economical option. Use whatever streaming services you want though. At this point it's just about content. I don't get the random Netflix hate from Reddit in particular.

    Or we could sail the high seas again.

    Wait, you guys stopped? I used to have Netflix, Hulu/Disney+, Max, Prime, Paramount+/Showtime, and Peacock. I should have had access to pretty much any movie I wanted with all those subscriptions. Yet, at least once per month I decided I wanted to watch something either I had or hadn't seen before and it'd be on some random service I don't have. I refused to pay for more services so I'd just pirate it.

    A week ago I cancelled them all and subscribed to a VPN. Piracy is cheaper, more convenient, and it pisses off the corpos. That's a win/win in my book.

    You should look at how to use the net better. No VPN needed and much faster and more secure.
