remember when the adfree plan for netflix was 8.99?
Yup, and that’s when I stopped buying DVDs and pirating. But with standard without ads being ~$15 with less selection, guess what I’ve gone back to doing?
They’re passing off the price of inflation to the people
Hahahaha

I joined the Plex server plan, it’s better and works everywhere and I don’t get price increases or ads
All the shows that I like I’ve been buying DVD or Blu-rays for, and then I rip them and put them on my Plex server. Just so I can watch some anytime, and not potentially damage the discs.
I don’t have to worry about geofencing, Don’t have to worry about a price change ever, Don’t have to deal with commercials, Don’t have to think if the shows that I like are going to disappear and maybe show up on a different provider, and generally higher quality audio and video.
Would it just be easier to use something like iTunes for movies/shows?
I’d say no. Because it’s online and attached to your account it can be lost. If for some reason you lose access to your Apple account you lose everything you’ve bought. And a lot of these online services don’t want you to share or transfer your account. So like if you pass away, most of these online services don’t allow you to transfer the account to a living relative (per of the TOS) (granted I doubt there’s much I could do to actually stop you if you just leave them out of it and just give the account to somebody).
