    At what point do these companies ring the turnip dry? YouTube Premium almost doubled, Netflix cracked down on passwords and increased pricing, and if you didn’t like it you could pay a little less if you would just watch some ads, which we joined Netflix to get away from, people didn’t care so those ads are now in Prime Video and other companies are joining in too. Disney+, Hulu, Paramount+, and Peacock all had price increases in the last year. At some point, you have to dust off your peg leg and put on a tricorn hat.

      I just spent about $350 building a home media server, and while we’re still subscribed to most of these streaming services, I don’t even check around to see where a show is anymore, I just have Sonarr get it for me

        I have disney plus, but I also have a toddler and the toddler doesn’t like credits or 20-second countdowns between 7-minute episodes, so I also have Bluey on Plex. When my partner caught wind of that, they started asking for all their other favorite shows to be on plex, too. Sometimes even if I know where a show is and pay for the service, they still make it too annoying to use.
