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!

What does Real Debrid add that Kodi + Elementum or normal stremio doesn’t do?

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.

Friendly reminder about Amazon Prime: you don’t need Prime at all for free shipping and Amazon video definitely isn’t worth that price every year.

Save yourself $150+ per year that you’re literally spending on nothing.

Thanks! Never was a big fan of Amazon and we have great alternatives where I live, so luckily I never had to give Bezos any money hehe

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.
