The email arrived late last year, a harbinger of a new era. Disney+ was jacking up their annual plan to a whopping $140. It wasn't an isolated incident. Netflix announced their cheapest tier would now come bundled with ads, Amazon Prime would be $3, TV went from $66.99 to $999 a month there are so many great things to watch and they're all spread across so many different Services. I want to watch them all but man does it hurt to Fork up so much money every month to do it it kind of makes you won
I absolutely can afford them, but I’m canceling them purely on principle at this point.
My final straw was watching Fallout, when Amazon said “this program is ad-free thanks to this sponsor” and then not only showed an ad, but didn’t even acknowledge that it was me paying them for the service, like I should be grateful to some stupid company for shoving their advertising in my face when I’m the one giving them my hard-earned money.
I rally enjoyed Fallout! I didn’t see any ads. Might be because I won’t give my money directly to Amazon.
Good call!
