For a long enough time we’ve been a Netflix<\/span> subscriber (since 2012) this is the one I like alot. If you don’t Netflix, you aren’t missing what you don’t know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crunchyroll<\/span>\/VRV<\/span> subscriber (for quite a few years now) good value if you like anime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon Prime Video<\/span> (come with Amazon Prime<\/span> membership) so many benefit to having Prime<\/span>, something on Prime Video<\/span> worth watching here and there, but I don’t see this as more than AMAZON PRIME<\/span> which I love for stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disney+<\/span> — subscribed for three years and watched one full show the first year, and parts of a couple others in the next years, and hated every Marvel<\/span> thing I tried to watch that premiered on Disney+<\/span>. I gave up and canceled this past month, and the price has gone up making it all the worse for the wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diseased Future<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I hate all the streaming packages available now. It’s a disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TV is so expensive. We went to Youtube.TV<\/a> and even that seems expensive, I really have no use for it. Only hubby uses it. We used to have satellite, DirecTV. That is a dinosaur model. Which is why any streaming TV service is OK but … only Youtube.TV<\/a> has enough of the Sports at the least price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next tier will be paying a whole lot to get content while suffering through horrendous ad campaigns as part of that tier. Having to Pay through the nose to have no ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently even some content on services have ads on some shows (Hello HULU) no matter that you pay for no ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back when we went streaming for TV we tried HULU for a month, it was getting so that having enough DVR wasn’t saving any money by switching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PS Vue, I could live with it, but it died as we started up with it. So sad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Philo was OK, but hubby hated it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Youtube.tv<\/a> he liked so that’s that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collecting Making It Your Own<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Emby for your collection of media<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Some content comes out on Blu-ray & DVD, some only on DVD. The rest never on disc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forget Vudu and Movies Anywhere. I detest having to always stream MY content. [Emby is my domain. I watch it in my house inside my own Network. I also use my music like this, in Emby, don’t use Spotify unless I listen while using my PS4, rare that I do that while gaming though. Any other music that I don’t have, Youtube on my PC is my choice now.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The show on Disney+ I love is Marvel Agents of SHEILD [I watched the whole thing twice or more on Netflix]. I can’t even buy all the seasons on disc. They just didn’t release 6-7 or if they did, in obscure ways and there aren’t enough copies out there. I decided watching it on Disney+ would just make me mad (Since I couldn’t buy it to put in my collection like other show I love have treatment for.) All those Marvel shows on Netflix were good or better. Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Punisher, loved them. Iron Fist I liked. Defenders nah. So I would like all that on disc, besides the Defenders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there are Star Trek shows on another streaming platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is an exercise in futility at this point. Is detrimental to my inner feelings so… I shall publish this, but I won’t share it to Twitter. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
