The best next step is canceling all the services and subscriptions except VPN and internet, then hoisting the jolly roger. I'm done pretending the studios and content creators are good faith operators. I've paid over 6 figures in the last 20 years for movies, shows, books. I'm not paying any more, and I don't feel bad about it at all. Netflix had a great library, but the industry caught up and licensing and copyright induced fragmentation made streaming platforms more or less equally shitty. There's no more value add if the apps, content, and curation don't work, or if they start sneaking in advertisements or if the companies are engaging in regulatory capture or other malicious corporate fuckery. Avast, mateys, time to keelhaul the bastards in charge (or their pocketbooks.)
