Evidently screwing customers twice by making them watch ads for the same price they used to get ad-free has been profitable. Let the enshitification continue!

I did my part. As soon as they started messing around with making me log in and provide security codes every month for TVs on different networks, I cancelled.

If you make your paid product more inconvenient than piracy, I’m gonna set sail.

Sailing is so much better than managing when to stop and continue payment for the dozens of streaming services.

Streaming was great because it was easy relatively customer friendly. Though those days are behind me but it sure looks like I need to dust off the ol' sails.
