We just took our first step and cancelled Netflix! It’s a small thing compared to some of you, but we’re here to stay! Becoming more and more aware and striving to buy European!
Fully support your actions and reasoning.
It’s a process.
We have cancelled and deleted Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook.
Just started move to alternatives and now have Ubuntu as well as Home Assistant.
I can suggest Ameliorated together with MASSgrave to set a step in a somewhat right direction. You have choice from optimized windows to a private version of windows that have all connected parts to Microsoft stripped out.
Does anyone know of a recommendation engine as robust as Netflix? Trying to talk my wife into canceling, but it’s very good at suggesting new content, which is hard to let go of.
trakt.tv used to have good recommendations when i tried it, but i don’t use Netflix so I don’t know how they compare. There’s also https://couchmoney.tv/ that works with a Trakt account.
I’ve been liking www.justwatch.com a lot
Kodi with Real Debrid. I have used it for a couple of years now. Can get everything as soon as it comes to streaming. I run it through an nvidia shield but you can use fire sticks or chromecast, you also need a VPN and ~$10 every 6 months subscription fee. It’s a bit of an upfront cost and will take maybe half an hour to set up but it’s totally worth it. I haven’t paid for a single streaming channel in about 5 years so it’s paid for itself several times now.
You’ve given me the courage to do the right thing and cancel my 20 year subscription. Here goes…
Canadian here. We cancelled Netflix and all of our Apple services.
It’s the churn that will really hurt the U.S. companies when they realize the only ones buying their products are Americans, and in order to appease their share holders they’ll need to have price increases more often and much higher.
Keep it up. Vote with your wallet.
American here and I’ve cancelled a lot of subscriptions over the past month. I’m basically only paying for essentials like groceries, utilities, various insurance plans and gas. A lot of us here are doing what we can to reduce our spending.
Unfortunately I lost access to Viaplay (Swedish streaming service) after my girlfriend cancelled her Amazon Prime membership. Prime had to go, but I miss my Nordic noir.
Netflix has become trash over the years anyway, you’re all better off with other services.
