For a moment, it seemed like the streaming apps were the things that could save us from the hegemony of cable TV—a system where you had to pay for a ton of stuff you didn’t want to watch so you could see the handful of things you were actually interested in.

    Same for me. Had Netflix and Prime.
    Cancelled Prime. Student plan ran out and wanted to spend less (on Amazon and buying random stuff.
    Cancelled Netflix. Didn’t use it, convinced my mother to let it go (only after saying how much it costs).

    Renting a seedbox for 15€ per month, Spotify for music and since this month I burried my life long hate for YT premium and now also have that (and wish for a plan without yt music for 3-4€ less).
    Reason why I did YT premium was, because I already watched more YT than Netflix anyway. And it’s near daily for about 2-3h. Well worth it (for way too much money).
