    I stopped using Netflix several years ago, and I have been fine without it. I unsubscribed to Amazon premium (wish I did that because of the union busting), I unsubscribed to Disney+, I unsubscribed to my Apple stuff, I unsubscribed to whatever else, and I subscribed to CBC Gem once Trump really started to push for for the 51st state shit. I have set up Jellyfin on one of my pi’s along with Radarr and Sonarr and I no longer have a problem with sailing the high C’s. I have cancelled my TV subscription because I do not want to pay for any US channel. I have a pihole so that I do not see ads because I do not want to pay google with my eyeballs or the Canadian channels for the US shows that are still airing on them, because I want more CanCom stuff made.

    I use Unwatched so that I can still have most of the benefits of Youtube premium without paying the google for it, I hate that it hurts the Canadian channels I watch but I do not want to pay google with money or my eyeballs. I have a pihole for all the other google ads and I do not use google search, wish I could get rid of my google account but I am still a little ways away from doing that.
