I can still pick and choose my streaming. If I don't want Netflix I can cancel it, I don't have to keep it just so I can also watch Hulu.

Yes, if you get everything, it's about the same or more than cable.

Streaming has gone up in price, and ads are sure to come as many streaming services are already complaining about financial strain, but for now it's still ad free and cheaper than cable in my country, by a long shot. Even if I pay for 3 streaming services.

I honestly hope that some of them go under, and have to revert to renting IP to Netflix again.

I never expected ride hailing apps to save money. Where from? Taxis were never a high margin business with some superfluous middleman.

Could there be some decentralized ride hailing platform?

I'd love a distro for raspi etc that made onroading to pirating really easy. like LibreElec for Raspberry Pi is great, but you have to manually verify the debrid and trakt in settings, i need something boomer-friendly. Like, first run, it gives a debrid verification url prompt, waits for it, then trakt, waits for it, then asks like "which of these popular shows do you like" and offers suggestions to start

No way who could have guess
