for the record, i absolutely loath needing 3+ subscriptions to streaming content providers AND a delivery bill (internets) just to enjoy what comes out to 5 or 6 "shows/movies" a month. No, I do not have a reasonable solution, just griping
- mark_l_watson 5y agoI hear you. We have 5 streaming services, and my wife enjoys them all. I have experimented with just buying movies on Google Play and Amazon Prime, and a few series on Apple TV. If it was just me in our household, I would go this route. I have recently retired and I expected to spend more time watching streaming content but the opposite has happened. I find reading, walking, or sitting outside feels like a better use of my time. EDIT: if people pay for Amazon Prime for the shipping, then just using Prime content augmented with buying content otherwise unavailable seems like a good plan.
- moistly 5y agoMaybe rotate through the services on a quarterly schedule? Cut your costs to a fifth of what they are now?
- mark_l_watson 4y agoI have mentioned that possibility to my wife. I am well off financially, but I am frugal. I love my local library.
