They show me an ad, and they are out. It is that simple. Luckily, my life does not depend on streaming.

Haha, already there. I canceled my Netflix a year ago or so after the amount of cheap self produced stuff got too much and they removed more and more older quality content.

Now, whenever I want to stream I sign up for a single streaming service for a month or two - but the time where I was just subscribed all the time is over.

Ah one reason also was the sharing crackdown, I had kept the subscription long term as my kids used it when they were at my place or my ex-wife's. Nowadays it doesn't work anymore as (for example) the TV my son has at the ex-wife's place never is connected via my internet.

With added commercials, less quality etc streaming got less attractive. Hey, nowadays I regularly go to movie theaters, again.

And if things get worse, somewhere I still have my captain's hat and the wooden leg for sailing the seven seas...
