    Interestingly enough, 2/3 of those are subs I dropped within the last year or so based on a lack of quality/content for what they cost (never bothered with ESPN, NHL games are easy to find). Seems like streaming is starting to collapse a lot quicker than TV did.

      Likewise, just cancelled Disney+ and Hulu last month, along with Paramount+, and Netflix.

      Only still have AppleTV+ because it’s still cheap. And then Max because it’s included in our cell service, and Amazon for the shipping, but I don’t really use either, and am looking into the feasibility of dropping Prime, if I can convince the wife.

        AppleTV+ is still cheap where you live? Here in Europe it went from 4,99€ to 6,99€ and I think they just raised it to 9,99€. They have some great shows but VERY little content all in all. And at a doubled price which now matches all the other services (all around 10€ each) it is just not worth it IMO.

        I might get it for one binge-month in the future just to watch Severance season two though. Or… just get it elsewhere…

          Hey, my SO and I really loved Severance and watch it in my Jellyfin server, which I set up so they can connect from anywhere. I’ll add season 2 the moment it launches. I would be happy to give you acess to it if you want to, just let me know.

            That is so nice of you, thank you for the offer! I’ll try to keep it in mind once its out. 😊 And yes indeed it’s a brilliant show.

          Not sure. It’s $9.99 normally but I think she’s got a discount somehow (teacher? Or some kind of bundle?)
