    A library card is free and has decades of good TV and movies that I haven’t seen yet.

    Thrift shops and garage sales have movies and seasons of shows for a couple bucks or less each.

    A kid can be handed a big empty cardboard box and they’ll entertain themselves.

    There really is no good reason to pay for streaming, except maybe to watch sports, but, you’re not getting what you pay for there, either, because you can’t buy a season to watch any more since they sell the rights to games across several different platforms.

    Fuck em. Sports on the radio, TV on a disk.

      I’m not even saying forever. Drop the ads stream services and force yourself to find other things at the same time.

      The worst part is so many people treat streaming like a gym membership. They have it just in case and then rarely use it.
