I’m saving up for a NAS so I can switch back to Plex after a decade away from the high seas.
Isn't it weird how music streaming has managed to remain a preferable option to the high seas, but video streaming has become so enshittified that it's easier to not use it?
Thats also the approach I'm using for the few series I want to watch.
Mine is sitting in my closet, I might just pull it back out. Hopefully I don't need to patch any sails, just switch my spending from a subscription to buying DVDs, and then rip them using Handbrake.
If my combined monthly cost for streaming subscriptions exceeds $30 for Disney+ and Netflix, I'll seriously consider cancelling one or both.
