The combined cost of popular streaming services like Netflix and Disney Plus is now more expensive than traditional cable television, according to new analysis.

Calculations by the Financial Times found that a bundle of the top US streaming services – including Disney+, Hulu, Netflix and Peacock – rose in price from $73 to $87 over the last year.

Weird. They haven't cost me a dime in several years.

I'm amazed people are still paying for brainwashing programs and mind-raping commercials.

Everyone predicted this when the first streaming services came out. Most people I know either have none, or one service. Usually a women or for the women of the house.

Torrents still free. And having to spend 5 minutes deciding what to look up and download means you watch less garbage.

Going without is probably the best move. Only reason I don't get ISP letters is how rarely I download anything.

Real easy to do it without your ISP knowing though. Even a kike owned VPN would be safe for that if you got a warning and wanted to keep doing it.

All the hearts and green flags are fellow goats man!

Big whitepill, thank you for that visual.

I think we will see much more opportunity for IRL in the next 5 years.

The way I see it, the only streaming services that are worth paying for, are the live sports ones, and only if you're into live sports enough that you spend a lot of your free time watching it.

All the TV shows and movies you can find on pirate streaming sites, torrents, or other places. You might not get to watch it right this fucking second, but with a little patience, you don't have to blow your money on it.

I used to have Netflix years ago. It was really cool at first, but I soon found out that it was mainly a ton of fucking shit, and very little of the few things I really wanted to see. Made me miss their old DVD-by-mail service. They had a great catalog of DVDs back then, way more content than the streaming sites ever had.

Good. Morons are paying for their own brainwashing. As they have to choose more and more between staring at a screen or eating, the communists will starve to death in front of theer screens

How is this in any way good?

I'm glad you agree. I hope we see the kind of change you mention.

Because highre costs will make many consider what they're paying for and why.
