    It’s the only price hike I don’t mind. I like the service and I use it all day. By far the most content I get for my money.

      It’s the ONLY company i pay for media. I don’t pay for movies and tv shows. It’s ridiculous. Like, you need 60 billion streaming services to get the content you want. With music, any given media platform is gonna have the same or similar music libraries. None of this exclusive shit.

        Eh, I pay for Netflix and Disney+ (have the bundle, so I have Hulu too). Before I had Disney+, I had Amazon Prime, but I decided I wanted Disney+ more. I’ll probably go back to Amazon Prime at some point, or maybe get HBO or something. I don’t listen to enough music for Spotify to be worth it, so I mostly listen to audiobooks from my library if I want something to listen to.

        My point is, you don’t need to have every streaming service all the time, just stick to one or two until you’ve watched everything you’re interested in, then switch to something else.

        My main complaint is when looking for something specific. It’s almost always more expensive as a digital rental vs Redbox, so I just refuse to pay more for something that costs the company less. I borrow a lot of movies from my local library, and occasionally get Redbox if I want a recent release, mostly out of stubbornness to pay $5 or whatever for a 24hr rental.
