Inflation + budgeting for paying their creators more. I don't think many people have yet wrapped their heads around how much less their money is worth compared to three years ago. 17.99 in July 2020 is equivalent to 15.25 now. 14.99 in July 2020 is equivalent to 12.71 now. https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl?cost1=14.99&year1=200007&year2=202307 You guys need to quit b****ing. If these prices were 'cheap' three years ago, they're cheap now.
i has utube premium, netflicks, diznee, hbo, prime. im keeping utube cus i can’t stand ads. which one other should i keep?
Yeah, isn't that always the way with being a wise-ass? Ate crow, re-ran, not as significant but my point still stands on inflation.
We do this with Fubo during the Astros's baseball season and Apple TV during AFC Richmond's football season. It really isn't that exhausting, but then we are only doing it for two services with canceling.
Fine, we will cancel together, this is what us Cord-cutters do, we fight together against the imperials.
We're at the point where we rotate services. We maintain two services (Prime + something else) while we wait for another service to load up on shows we enjoy. We watch everything we can on something else, cancel, then sign up for the new service. It takes a little bit of planning, but it helps.
Part of the strike in Hollywood is over residuals on streaming shows, if the actors get what they want I wonder if fees on Netflix and Hulu and the like will go up.........you know there not going to be the ones to take the hit
Sponsor block works for when the host is doing the ad inside the video, Ublock origin works for ads served by youtube. Combined is a very nice experience... Only flaw is sponsor block works by people manually blocking the sponsor time, so a video with no views that just popped up will not have the sponsor blocked. Popular vids have their embedded ads blocked almost immediately, less popular videos take longer... but few small channels have embedded adverts.
I just received an email from Amazon Music... Starting next month I get to pay more!!! I figured this was coming when I first saw this thread. But so fast?!
Yeah. Regrettably. Someday I know I'm going to wish I had just bought $10 a month worth of CDs, instead of basically renting music. But being able to download music to my phone and listen anywhere is pretty nice.
