I'm probably out. I have the $32/mo Apple Family sub, but with literally every service going up 20-30% over the last year, I just don't see the point. I used to spend about $60-80/mo on various streaming services, now it's closer to $150 and content quality has not improved, if anything it's significantly worsened.

The problem is that just 6 companies own the rights to basically the entirety of American film culture outside of some tiny niches. This is worse than going back to cable. We're almost all the way back to the Old Hollywood studio system, where different studios had different theaters they owned and almost nobody else was allowed to show their studio's films.
