Prepared for the Worst, Providing the Best |
Dumped Netflix over a year ago. Don't miss it one bit. We still have Amazon prime because we buy a lot of products through them (we live in a small town, and there are a lot of things you just can't get locally...not to mention with all this mask BS going to the local big-box retailer is even more of a PITA than it used to be)...but with all the crap they've been flooding my feed with lately, I'm getting pretty close to telling Amazon they can go to hell, too. And people want to let these a-holes into their homes and lives with all that Alexa stuff...I just don't get it. My BIL has Disney + and I sat down with my kids a few weeks ago to watch an old Disney movie on it. Before the movie there was a parental warning about how this movie contained "outdated cultural references" or some such BS. But yet it's ok for them to infuse all the current movies with morally reprehensible leftist BS. | |||

I’m about to dump Netflix, cycle renews on the 20th. It’s back to school & we have enough without. I know my leaving isn’t even a drop in the bucket, but I don’t care for who they associate with. | |||

When you dump them, they give you access for the remainder of the month. They posted a growth for Q2 with an additional 10 million subscribers as late as august. I hope they experience a real die off and get the shit kicked out of their stocks. This business will get out of control.

That's normal. OAN did the same when I cancelled them (again) a couple days ago.
Don't hold your breath. With people remaining in house arrest due to the Wu Flu panic, I suspect all streaming services are experiencing a windfall. "America is at that awkward stage.

I cancelled my Netflix a few months ago and don't miss it. Honestly, does anyone really miss TV in general? It has been enjoyable getting outside more. | |||

Different strokes and all. We would. My wife and I enjoy sitting down to some video entertainment in the evening. What I do miss is news. I wish there was a way to subscribe to Fox News w/o a ±$50/mo. package
My wife and I get outside plenty. One does not preclude the other. "America is at that awkward stage.

ensigmatic, My wife and I are working through the DVD's for Stargate SG-1. We are nearing the end of the show. We had planned on watching Atlantis, its what we do a few evenings a week. But we do not have the DVD's for the series. Her and the girls love a few kids shows on Netflix and while She was not happy* about the netflix thing, once I told her "Hulu has Atlantis" . . that made everything right in the world. *she was supportive of me canceling it, and my "I am a dad with daughters, it ends here" stance. She just missed some of the content she and the girls did like. This business will get out of control.

I get the enjoying TV shows at night. Like redstone I've been going through old movies or TV shows that I own when I get that itch. You can probably find good deals at second hand stores right now with all the spring cleaning people did during quarantine. Old seasons of 24, the Unit, White Collar, Burn Notice, Human Target, etc. With what someone pays for a month of Netflix they could probably get a few seasons that would last them a few months. UV Spider is a site that sells digital copies of movies that you redeem on Vudu. Some are expensive, but if you go to search and hit enter they come up with .99 cent movies. Most are crap, but you can find a few and the prices go up as you scroll through the pages. There are a lot of good Netflix and cable alternatives. Sling has $30 packages with Fox News, but you get CNN too. | |||

Thank you Very little |
I downloaded the Newsmax app on my Firefox streaming device and watch it, better than Fox, and you don't have to have a subscription. | |||

Available for free as well on Apple TV, so I have downloaded it and will give 'er a try! If it ain't woke... don't fix it. | |||

Don't care about that, but I'm not paying $30/mo. just to get Fox News.
We'll give it a try, too. Thanks, HRK. ETA: Things to like: A schedule. Ability to watch past episodes. Cool. Unfortunately, what passes for "news" on NewsMax appears to be more heavily-biased political coverage than actual, you know, news. "America is at that awkward stage.

Pluto App on ROKU will give access to free tv/news. Commercials may drive you crazy. | |||

I tend to leave it on mute during the day as background in the office, the evening show I don't really watch. most everything on TV is political with the election coming up. Try OAN as well, should be an app for that, At least it's not FOX/CNN/MSNBC. | |||

Just dropped OAN again. They're back to preempting news for live Trump appearances. Like Trump. Love the rallies. But can only watch the same remarks delivered so many times before it becomes wearing. And we were paying for news. I guess we'll do without. That's ok, too, I suppose.

Tucker Carlson had a segment on his show tonight covering this abomination. He had Tammy Bruce on to get her thoughts on this film and she literally seemed challenged to get words out to describe her abject horror at the place our society has arrived. The video clips shown are appalling. Apparently the collective assholes known as the former prince harry and his washed up wife are also heavily invested in the kiddie simulated porn production studios. I looked for video of the segment to post but it is apparently too soon to have been put on the inter-webs. __________ "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal labotomy." | |||

I made the mistake of scrolling thru Twitter and saw part of the trailer for Netflix's "Cuties." Had to stop it. Watching 11 year old girls touch themselves for the obvious viewing pleasure of perverted men is disgusting. And Netflix's explanation that this is a movie about the sexual objectification of children through the portrayal of children sexually objectified is pure evil. Even IMDB had a note that this movie had scenes in that that could be legally characterized as child pornography. I'm not a huge South Park fan, but they get a lot right when they portrayed men judging a kiddie beauty pageant. No doubt more than a few male Netflix execs previewed "Cuties" like this. Maybe the FBI ought to check out their personal computers. These pigs are doing nothing less than trying to mainstream pedophilia. _____________ "I enter a swamp as a sacred place—a sanctum sanctorum.
